Equipment

Moderate mountain path; suitable for sure-footed and experienced mountain hikers; good physical condition, mountain experience and equipment (see under Equipment) necessary. Please check the current weather report at: www.oetztal.com/de/sommer.html Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, a hat, possibly gloves, is required for all hikes and routes. Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without dining options, is necessary.

Description

The starting point is the parking lot or the bus stop Issbrücke. There follows a steep ascent through the forest, past the Upper Issalm (not managed) to the Zwölferköpfl junction. Here you are already at the tree line. Then continue right, following the signs on a steep path up to the summit of the Zwölferköpfl. Due to its exposed location, the summit offers a wonderful view towards Kühtai and out over the Inn Valley.
