Rabenkopf Not far from the ridge, the path leads up to Rabenkopf. It is partly somewhat exposed. © Kathrin Schön, Reinhold LehmannPhoto: Kathrin Schön, Reinhold Lehmann, Rother Bergverlag
The path initially leads through the flysch zone, whose rocks weather easily and form relatively soft surface shapes. The summit areas of Rabenkopf and Schwarzeck, on the other hand, are built mainly of main dolomite and plate limestone. This limestone is very permeable to water and supports only shallow soils, which also affects alpine farming. Most of the alpine pastures probably originated through slash-and-burn since the 16th century and are relatively large because even the less productive forest grazing areas take up a considerable portion. Recently, former forest grazing areas at Rabenkopf have been reforested appropriately for erosion protection. Most of the alpine pastures are rights-based pastures, meaning that although they belonged to the Benediktbeuern monastery for centuries, they are now owned by the state. However, the right to use them is often granted for a very long time to the same farm, with precise regulations on the number of animals, grazing time, and duration. Due to their proximity to the farms, most of the Jachenau alpine pastures are still grazed today, but only with less labor-intensive young cattle.
From the Ötzgasse car park in Pessenbach, 650 m, we cross the federal road B11. Here you can find one of the few signposts for the path over Staffel-Alm to Rabenkopf (No. 454/451). Initially, we follow the paved forest road and then turn left onto a coarse gravel old forest road in a right curve, 693 m (marking 454). Partly as a hollow way, it leads us above the Pessenbach through the forest upwards, ignoring side paths. If a path branches off to the left at a fork, 826 m, we keep right on the broader path. After ignoring another path branching off to the right, at the next fork, 1040 m, we follow the developed forest road to the left. This leads us after about 150 m to a spot from where, in clear weather, we have a lovely view into the Alpine foothills over the Loisach moors and Lake Starnberg to Munich. After about 400 m, marking 454 (red-white-red) directs us right onto a path leading to Orterer-Alm, 1089 m, where we can also stop for refreshments. From here, we ascend a narrow path,
