    What the name of the mountain promises, it only partly fulfills. The summit itself is indeed a grassy peak – but what a one! And the surroundings make it a full-fledged, long mountain tour with brilliant views and an interesting descent route.

    Roadbook

    From the stop, follow the road to Vorderriß initially in the opposite direction, then walk along the shore of the Sylvenstein reservoir. After a few hundred meters, go left and climb up again, crossing the very same road, then follow the forest path southwest to just before the Wiesalm. At the signposts, turn right and continue ascending in many switchbacks towards Grammersberg. The route then passes south of this insignificant forest peak and reaches the Grammersbergalm. The ascent path becomes quite narrow in sections, somewhat exposed, and in one place southeast of the Pirschschneid it is even secured with a wire rope. Finally, approach the summit formation of the Grasköpfl and ascend along a path on the northeast ridge of the summit the remaining 100 meters to the highest point.

    Descent: If you have time and still good stamina, do not descend via the ascent route, but after a short descent to the main trail, continue south along it. You pass the Grünlahnereck and reach the extensive saddle near the Wiesbauer high pasture hut (1481 m) and a forestry service hut. You cross this saddle and then have to ascend to the meadow slope below the Moosenalm. Then you must pay close attention to the trail: just before the Moosenalm, at about 1560 m altitude, the path branches left, initially leading into open forest and then over flat mountain meadows into almost pathless terrain until you reach the Klausenloch and the remains of an old timber floating lock. The old floating trail is only decayed in short sections and overall still fairly well passable. It descends alongside the wild course of the Moosbach, once used for timber floating. Finally, the route crosses the stream and brings us down into the shaded mixed forest of the Krottenbachtal valley. In the valley, continue north above the gorge of the Krottenbach on a forest road to a fork. Turn left there towards the Wiesalm and along the narrow, steep road back to the starting point.
