    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.

    Author’s recommendation

    The Zwölferkopf is also very nicely accessible from the Hochoetz alpine region via the Balbach Alm.
