- 4.8 (270)·Hard·11.9 kmThis fairly challenging route starts at the car park in Reichenbach and leads along paths, some of which are steep, through the Allgäu Alps up to the Rubihorn, which stands at almost 2,000 metres. As is always the case with hikes in alpine terrain, sturdy footwear and sure-footedness are essential here, particularly near the summit. The ridge path is secured with steel cables at a few particularly challenging sections. With picturesque panoramic views, nature trails through secluded...
- 4.7 (117)·Hard·17.5 kmThis wonderful mountain hike begins south of Oberstdorf at the Nebelhornbahn car park (subject to a charge) and leads through the Allgäu High Alps Nature Reserve up to the Rubihorn. At the foot of this mountain lies the Unterer Gaisalpsee, which is just as breathtaking as the panoramic view from the Rubihorn. A truly dreamlike hike through a secluded high valley!

- 4.6 (60)·Moderate·9.8 km·Est. 3–3.5 hrPopular circular route in Allgäu, Bavaria. This varied hike starts and ends at Oberstdorf train station (accessible by bus and train).

- 4.6 (61)·Hard·11.6 kmChallenging hike from the Oytal to the Nebelhorn near Oberstdorf, Bavaria. Experienced hikers will get their money's worth on this tour. The Panoramaweg, which initially climbs steadily, leads from the Oytal up to the so-called Oytal Gleitweg. Here the path becomes very steep very quickly. The path often stops and is partially secured with steel cables. Via the Seealpsee it goes directly to the Edmund-Probst-Haus (and thus to the mountain station of the Nebelhornbahn). Now the steep ascent...
- 4.4 (62)·Hard·12.7 km·Est. 6–6.5 hrPopular climb to the Kemptner Hütte from Oberstdorf, Bavaria.

For many hikers, this route is the start of a longer journey. The ascent through the wildly beautiful Trettach Valley shows right from the start how beautiful such a hike can be. Along babbling...
- 4.7 (41)·Moderate·11.3 km·Est. 4.5–5 hrHike with fantastic views near Oberstdorf in the Allgäu High Alps, Bavaria. The gliding path is often exposed and secured with steel cables. Still, the descent from the Nebelhornbahn to the idyllic Seealpsee in the Oytal is one of the most beautiful but demanding descents in the Allgäu Alps. Therefore it is only suitable for experienced hikers. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are required, and sturdy shoes are necessary. Danger! In the rugged terrain, falling rocks cannot be ruled...

From there, the trail leads through forest and mountain meadows towards Söllereck, always accompanied by the fantastic mountain panorama of the Allgäu Alps.
