==Routes== thumb|left|180px|View from the Kälberplatte The direct route starts at the Döttenbühl parking lot (altitude ), near the Oberammergau cemetery. After crossing a meadow called the Kälberplatte, with a view looking up to the imposing end of the climb, the greater part of the ascent is a wooded switchback footpath (with one clamber across a scree field) up to a rain shelter. From there, one starts climbing to the rocky summit.
