Daniel, the highest Ammergau Alps peak, is the eastern culimation point of a 7 km long, west - east running ridge, the southernmost ridge of the Ammergau Alps. In the center of this ridge is Plattberg, also called Hochschrutte, a broad and high peak, the second highest of Ammergau Alps. From the peak you have amazing views to Heiterwanger See. The trails are not well laid out and require a bit alpine experience even it's partly saved with steel cables. The unknown route from Pitzental along the beautiful lake is north faced and pathless.
