Panoramic hike up the Kofel.
The striking rocky peak directly above Oberammergau, the Kofel, has a great view despite its low altitude.
Although the climb is not long, it is a tough one. Although it is very well secured with many steel cables, sure-footnes and a head for heights to master the "easy" climb is definetely needed.
