#BreathHiking, #PleasureHikingRoadbook
From the hiking center Bayerisch Gmain ascend into the Alpgartental until you can cross the stream on a footbridge. A moderately steep path leads through the forest to a saddle. Here a short detour to the nearby Wappachkopf is worthwhile. Back at the saddle, the path follows a flat forest ridge to the summit slope of the Dötzenkopf. The terrain steepens, and several steep switchbacks must still be mastered to reach the summit with its distinctive cross and excellent view. Descent is the same as the ascent.
