Kofel is a striking limestone peak that rises dramatically above Oberammergau, often called the 'local mountain' of the village. The hike to the summit is moderately challenging, winding through forest and rocky terrain, but rewards with sweeping views of the Ammergau Alps and the village below. The summit cross is a classic photo spot. For those seeking a shorter outing, a cable car (the Kolben Sesselbahn) operates in summer, reducing the hike. Kofel is a must for active visitors wanting a quintessential Bavarian mountain experience.
