Panoramic hike to the Friederspitz, Bavaria.
The hike is technically easy, but demanding in terms of fitness. The unknown summit surprises with marvellous views of the Zugspitze massif, the Ammergau Alps and the rear Karwendel. Due to its long ascent, however, there are hardly any hikers here.
This route first leads to the Friederspitz. With another short ascent and descent and an extra 200 metres in altitude, you reach the top of the Frieder.
