Krottenkopf

July, 2009

Got up at the crack of o dark thirty and hiked up the Krottenkopf from Oberau. 4500 feet elevation gain in 4.5 miles, reached the summit after 2 hours and 15 minutes. Then I had breakfast at the Weilheimer Huette: musli cereal with peaches, apples, and tea. Very good! Excellent view of the surrounding mountains from the summit, probably the best view peak of the Estergebirge area. Traverses on the mountainside were tedious with many ups and downs. Back at the car at just under 5 hours, including a 1 hour break for breakfast. Fun!
