The Plansee, located about 7 km as the crow flies southwest of the Ammersattel, is connected by a canal built in 1908, about 300 m long, with the Heiterwanger See, which originally lay about 68 cm higher, from which it, along with the additional inflows Spießbach and Torsäulenbach, derives its water. To the northwest, the Plansee has an outflow through the so-called Little Plansee and via the Archbach to the Lech.

    Wir sind die Tour in der umgekehrten Richtung gegangen. Der Anstieg über die regendurchweichte, steile Wiese hat uns mächtig gefordert und allzumal fragen lassen, ob wir uns das wirklich antun wollen. Der Weg zum Pitzenegg wollte schier nicht enden. ABER es hat sich soetwas von gelohnt. Die Aussicht ist der Wahnsinn, der Gradweg traumhaft schön und definitiv nur für trittsichere und schwindelfreie Personen geeignet! In unserer Richtung ist ziemlich zu Beginn eine Kraxelstelle, die mentale Stärke fordert, wenn man sie abklettert. Und es war niemand anderes unterwegs.

    Sehr schöne Tour. Lohnt sich. Man trifft dort neben Gämsen auch Schafe und Pferde, die sich dort frei und unbeaufsichtigt bewegen. Ein sehr schönes Erlebnis. Über den Grat vor und nach der Hochschrutte habe ich ein Video gemacht: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pufPBsRFaTQ
