Jägerkamp 1746m, Germany 10/4 2015


Benzingspitze 1735m




 Today we are going home to Sweden. But our flights aren't  leaving until evening, so there is time for one more
 mountain. We choose Jägerkamp that can be reached
 from Spitzingsee. The parking cost is 4 Euro (2015)
The parking place is at an altitude of around 1090m. To
begin with, we follow the ski slopes. The few skiers we
meet have all climbed up themselves. All lifts are closed
.
A break at 1445m, after less than one hour. We are off the ski slopes now.



 Just below is Schönfeldhütte. Behind it Rauhkopf 1689m. Our route leads up a bit to the right in this picture, then on
the ridge to the left
.
A bit over 1600m now.


 Dante climbing the steeper part at less than 1600m. We would have liked to climb Aiplspitz as well, but we
don't have the time for it. There is a plane to catch...
.
Jägerkamp almost in the middle of the picture. We need another 20 minutes from here.


 The final climb to the summit. This is a simple peak, no
 real difficulties anywhere, even if it's a bit steeper
 between 1500-1600m
.
We reach the summit after less than 2h. Looking north over the German flatatlands and the lake Schliersee.
 Wendelstein (1838m) with its observatory on the summit. These German mountains, at the border of the flatlands,
aren't very high. But they do have a beauty of their own,
making them well worth a visit. This is a beautiful area
Zugspitze, 2962m in the background to the right.

 Rotwand 1884m, to the south.  Aiplspitz can be reached in about one more hour, once
you are up here. But we don't have that time, unfortunately.
It looks like a nice peak.
It doesn't take many extra minutes to reach Benzingspitze, once you're up here.
