This long and challenging hike requires excellent fitness, a head for heights, and surefootedness!
The hike starts at Parking Lot Munde (P18) in Leutasch-Moos. The trail initially goes right through the forest meadowland , until it joins the path from Obern to Rauthhütte. The ascent continues across up to Zugspitzblick, followed by a belt of larch trees, and then rocky and alpine terrain. The path steepens further, becoming more rocky as it leads to the East Peak (2,592 m). From there, the West Peak can be reached via the col.
For the descent, there are two options:
The same path back as the ascent.
A crossing of the West Peak and further descent to Niedere Munde (via fixed rope protection). From there, the choice is either to head down to Telfs via Strassberghaus or return to Leutasch through Gaistal.
