As the summit of a secondary ridge of the Hohe Ferse, the Zunderspitze is topographically rather subordinate. However, as a viewing mountain in Ridnaun, it should not be underestimated. Normally, the forepeak is climbed here, which appears at an elevation of 2381 m. The exposed, pathless passage from the cross to the highest point (2445 m) is not advisable for regular hikers – one should rather detour via the northern hollow and the upper northwest ridge.
From Maiern, 1370 m, on Höfestraße towards Bergl until a forest road branches off on the left. We follow this for a bit and then come to access no. 29 from Ried. After numerous twists in the mountain forest, you reach alpine terrain at around 1800 meters. On the left, we join the service road, pass the currently unoccupied Zunderspitzhütte at about 1910 m, and follow the wide track up to the northern ridge of our mountain. Here lies the Obere Gewingesalm, 2050 m, which operates as a snack station. With the summit trail southwards to a flattening and further in the area of the often still grassy and earthy northern ridge to the cross-adorned forepeak of the Zunderspitze, 2381 m.Back at the Obere Gewingesalm, we observe sign no. 29A. A rather small path winds down through the meadow dwarf shrub terrain, crosses a section in between and finally descends relatively steeply into the Staudenbergtal – directly to the managed Martalm, 1735 m.

Mark Zahel
Mark Zahel hat als fleißiger Wanderer und Bergsteiger bisher mehr als 3000 Tage auf Alpentouren verbracht und schöpft aus dieser Passion seit über 20 Jahren eine intensive publizistische Tätigkeit. Die Liste seiner Buchveröffentlichungen umfasst inzwischen rund 80 Titel – in jüngster Zeit sind auch einige Wanderführer über norddeutsche Regionen hinzugekommen. Seine Kenntnisse reichen über weite Teile des Alpenbogens, besonders häufig aber ist er in dem breiten Streifen zwischen Bayern und Südtirol unterwegs. Zahel vergleicht seine Erkundungen gern mit einem Puzzlespiel, dem immer wieder neue Teile hinzugefügt werden, ohne dass es jemals »vollendet« werden könnte oder sollte. So bleibt die persönliche Entdeckungslust ungebrochen, während sich das »Gesamtbild« nach und nach immer detailreicher herausschärft.
