Overview  Vorderer Felderkopf as seen from Kieneckspitze
Vorderer Felderkopf is a summit within the Notkarspitze – subgroup of Ammergau Alps.
This subrange, located in the eastern part of Ammergau Alps, is, with the exception of Notkarspitze itself – which is a quite popular hike from Garmisch-Partenkirchen or Ettal, a rather lonely and remote region.
The highest point of this subgroup is not Notkarspitze but Kienjoch (1953 m) in the western part of the subrange.
Especially in spring and early summer the region is full of innumerable wildflowers and a paradise for those who love them.
Vorderer Felderkopf is a nice summit with lush meadows on the south side and a rugged northern slope. It is known mostly to local people and can be summited during a more extended traverse over several other summits. The summit is located between Großer Zunterkopf in the east and the broad meadow summit of Felderkopf. There is only one trail traversing the summit.
Getting There  Summit view from Vorderer Felderkopf
There are two main trailheads in the valleys:
Graswang in the Graswang / Ammer valley
Use highway A 95 from Munich to its end and follow the road B 2 to Oberau. At Oberau take B 23 to Ettal. After Ettal follow road St 2060 direction Graswang / Linderhof until you reach the eastern part of the little village of Graswang.
There is a little chapel on the right. On the left there is a small parking area in front of the bridge over the creek Linder.
This is the trailhead. Leave your car there.
If the parking area is complete cross the village and follow the signposts to "Wanderparkplatz" (hikers parking area) at the opposite end of the villages (parking fee required). Walk back to the trailhead.
Pflegersee / Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Use highway A 95 from Munich to its end and follow the road B 2 / 23 to Garmisch. It is the right hand road branching off after the Farchant road tunnel.
After the eye-catching Grandhotel Sonnenbichl at the entrance of Garmisch turn right (Thomas-Knorr-Straße) and then right again (Pflegerseestraße). Pflegersee should be signposted. Follow Pflegerseestraße up to the parking area at Pflegersee.
