Hasentalkopf

From the parking lot, the route first goes for almost an hour along the forest road following the stream into the Sägertal. Cycling is also possible here. At the end of the forest road, the path becomes steeper but still follows the stream for a while. After a short time, a clear junction (approx. 1270m) goes left towards Lösertaljoch and Ammergauer Hochplatte. We turn here and follow the path which heads south, staying at the same elevation around the mountain. In doing so, we cross the Hasental, into which a small side path branches to the former Hasentalalm.

However, we follow the main path, which slowly gets steeper and leads out of the forest turning west. Across meadows, it then goes up to the Lösertaljoch (1682m). Here the path splits: left to the Hochplatte and up right, our path with a short steep ascent to the Scheinbergjöchl (1764m).

On the Jöchl, a spectacular view opens into the 150 meter deep basin, at the rim of which both the Jöchl and further north the Hasentalkopf lie. If it has not been too dry in the weeks before, a small lake forms at the bottom of the basin, and those who fancy some extra elevation gain can safely descend at many points.

The main path goes a bit into the basin and along the western edge of the Hasentalkopf to the Bäckeralmsattel (1536m). Those who are not really surefooted should choose this variant excluding the summit. The small path that runs along the ridge of the basin to the summit is exposed and occasionally requires a handhold on the rock. Especially children should be experienced in mountaineering here. After a short, enjoyable scramble for mountaineers, you reach the small summit (1797m), which falls steeply on all sides. There is a great view of the Ammergau Alps, towards the Hasentalalpe, and especially into the basin.

The descent northwest down to the main path is also not quite easy; it goes over a steep, scree-covered, and slippery path. You follow the main path to the Bäckeralmsattel (1536m) to then turn right heading west again descending into the Sägertal. After a short time, you reach the junction where we initially turned towards the Hasental.
