As soon as you tackle the ascent to the Kofel, you are on historically interesting ground.
On the left at the Döttenbichl, numerous objects have been found that originate from the 19th Roman Legion. It passed here in 15 BC during the Alpine campaign under the command of Drusus and was later destroyed by Varus in the Teutoburg Forest.
From the Kofel summit, you have a sublime view in several directions. To the north on the Pulvermoos and the Ammertal, to the southeast on the Weidmoos. These two raised bogs originated from a glacial lake during the ice age. The rock-free, forested meadow to the east was hardly wooded 100 years ago - more than 1000 cattle and sheep grazed on its slopes.
You can also enjoy the beautiful view on the high-level path over to the Kolbensattel hut. The path leads through shady mountain mixed forest. This forest type is typical for the Northern Alps and consists of spruce, beech, silver fir, sycamore maple, elm, and ash.
At the destination, you have stunning views into the Ammertal, which you can enjoy on the sun terrace of the Kolbensattel hut with cool drinks and Bavarian delicacies.
The Kofel (1342 m) is also called the Oberammergau Matterhorn by locals. This striking peak is a scenic intermediate destination on our way to the Kolbensattel hut.
From the valley station of the Kolbensesselbahn in Oberammergau, you first pass the bike park to the Grottenweg and continue on to the Döttenbichl.
Past the Döttenbichl and a large clearing, turn diagonally right over a meadow up to a bench by the forest. From here, the path climbs steeply through the mountain forest in numerous switchbacks. Over a scree cirque and past rock walls, you reach the Kofelsattel. From here, the more challenging part of the route begins. After a few minutes, the first cable-protected sections start, providing helpful support up to the summit of the Kofel. The effort is worth it. After about 20 minutes, the summit of the Kofel is reached via the via ferrata.
The descent is again via the small via ferrata back to the Kofelsattel. From there, the route follows the Königssteig along a beautiful high panoramic trail to the Kolbensattel hut. After a stop at the hut, it takes about 1 hour back to the parking lot. Alternatively, you can choose the Alpine Coaster for a quick descent.
Our recommendation:
Never get lost again - we recommend the free app "Zugspitz Region" with GPX tracks for all routes in the region
