Ascent Trip Report

For those inclined to a childish sense of humour, the idea of riding the Wankbahn (cable car) causes a certain amusement. We did so to admire the view of the Zugspitze, which we planned to climb the following day, and as the startpoint of an ascent of the Krottenkopf, a very prominent mountain with no short spproach route. See trip report under Krottenkopf for details of the actual hike.
