The Spechtenkopf are several peaks of the Lattengebirge in the Berchtesgaden Alps , the main summit of which is called Spechtenkopf and is 1285 m above sea level. NN lies. This summit is adorned with a cross that can be seen from Bad Reichenhall and Bayerisch Gmain . The peaks are on the municipal boundary between Bayerisch Gmain ( district of the same name ) and Bad Reichenhall (district of Forst St. Zeno ).
Various paths lead to the summit, which can also be combined into a circular route. One of the paths goes from Bayerisch Gmain over the Wappach and the Wappachkopf (800 m) to the Dötzenkopf (1001 m or 1007 m = the hill behind).
From the Spechtenkopf, a path continues to Schlegelmulde between Predigtstuhl (1613 m) and Hochschlegel (1688 m).
City mountain lift
In 1955, the Cologne-based company Pohlig built a chairlift that led up to 900 m north of the Spechtenköpfe. The valley station was on Heilig-Kreuz-Felsen, southwest of the fairground on Loferer Straße. The lift route was about 1 km long and overcame the difference in altitude in just under ten minutes. Twelve tubular steel masts carried the steel cable from which 72 chairs of the orbit were suspended. Around 230 people could be transported in one direction per hour. The drive was housed in the valley station and a restaurant was connected to the mountain station. The chairlift used to be in operation all year round and, in addition to hikers, also brought skiers up the mountain in winter. From the mountain station you could ski the lowest part of the former north run from the Predigtstuhl . Patients who were prescribed an Oertelsche terrain cure also often used the hiking trails in the area of the mountain station of the Stadtbergslift. These are part of the Reichenhaller Höhenwege and lead to the Thürmereck, the Dötzenkopf and the Spechtenköpf. A hiking trail connects the mountain station with the valley station. Halfway there is the Bildstöckl Chapel.
After the Stadtberglift was no longer in operation for several years, it was demolished in the 1990s.
