Wiedhagbahn - Iseler

This alpine route leads from the mountain station of the Wiedhagbahn cable car above Oberjoch up to the summit of the Iseler, one of the most striking panoramic mountains in the Allgäu Alps. The trail opens up the rugged terrain on the border between Germany and Austria and follows a mixture of narrow, stony mountain paths, rocky ridges and sections secured by wire ropes. A central highlight is the summit cross of the Iseler (1,876 m), which offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Ostrachtal valley, the Tannheim mountains and, on a clear day, as far as the Zugspitze. The steep grassy slopes and rock faces are perfect for spotting chamois, alpine choughs and, with luck, golden eagles, while gentian and auricula bloom right next to the path in early summer. The route is physically demanding due to the steep ascents and alpine terrain and requires absolute surefootedness and a head for heights.
