  1. #1 - Lake Schrecksee

    4.7 (278)·Hard·10.3 mi·Est. 7–8 hr
    Panoramic hike in the Allgäu Alps, Bavaria The way to the Schrecksee is not necessarily one of the most demanding tours in the Allgäu, but a certain level of fitness is required for the 16 kilometers. Almost 1,200 meters of altitude difference have to be conquered in alpine terrain - good shoes are just as important as sure-footedness. Snow can be expected at higher altitudes until early summer. This delightful hike is not short on picturesque landscapes and views. The highlight is of course...

  2. #2 - Auele - Schrecksee

    4.5 (81)·Hard·6.6 mi·Est. 5.5–6 hr
    Popular loop in the Allgäu High Alps nature reserve, Bavaria. The Schrecksee, idyllically situated at 1813 m above sea level, is one of the most popular hiking destinations in the Allgäu Alps - in 2016, the lake was even named the "most beautiful mountain lake in the Alps" by Bergwelten magazine. Due to its location in the nature reserve, activities such as camping, barbecuing, and lighting fires are prohibited at Schrecksee. The hike starts at the Auele bus stop and leads steadily uphill...

  3. #3 - Schrecksee from the Saege car park

    4.5 (60)·Hard·12.8 mi·Est. 8–9 hr
    Popular hike in the Allgaeu High Alps, Bavaria. The ascent from Hinterstein to the Schrecksee is not one of the most technically demanding hiking tours in the Allgaeu High Alps, but you should still be in good physical condition, have sturdy shoes and be sure-footed. This is a full day hike - most hikers need around 3.5 - 4 hours for the climb alone. There is often snow at higher altitudes until late spring or early summer. Since the Schrecksee is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in...

  4. #4 - Iselergrat - Schmugglerweg

    4.7 (61)·Hard·4.5 mi·Est. 3.5–4 hr
    Panoramic and challenging alpine hike in Bavaria/Austria (DEU/AUT). A really great tour, but it is categorised as T3 or T3+ in places - so it should only be undertaken with appropriate experience in alpine hiking. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are essential. In places, there are only 50-100 cm in width, with steep descents to the right and left. It is possible to park in the valley and to take the Wiedhagbahn or the Iselerbahn (for a fee) to the top. In many places, the trail...

  5. #5 - Von Bad Oberdorf entlang der Ostrach und zum Schleierfall

    4.5 (33)·Easy·3.5 mi·Est. 1.5–2 hr
    Panoramic hike in the Allgäu to the Schleierfall, Bavaria. This circular route is characterized as a water-rich hike. It goes along the Ostrach river to the Schleierfall waterfall near Bad Obendorf. On the entire route you have a wonderful mountain panorama of the Allgäu. Open terrain and forest sections alternate. Highlights of the hike: - beautiful view with alpine panorama - idyllic river course of the Ostrach - Veilfall Waterfall

  6. #6 - Auf der Höhe - Köpfle - Schrecksee - Jägerhaus (Restaurant)

    4.9 (18)·Hard·10.2 mi·Est. 7–8 hr
    The trail traverses distinct vegetation belts, rising from mixed mountain forests into the subalpine zone near the Austrian border. Path structures consist of soil-based tracks heavily interlaced with tree roots, eventually giving way to exposed dolomite rock and scree fields near the summit areas. The protected area supports specialized flora such as the alpenrose and gentian, alongside wildlife including chamois and alpine marmots. Geological features include the weathering-resistant strata...

  7. #7 - Wiedhagbahn - Iseler

    4.8 (24)·Hard·3.1 mi·Est. 2.5–3 hr
    This alpine route leads from the Wiedhagbahn mountain station 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...

    Panoramic loop in the Allgäu, Bavaria A truly marvellous hike in the Allgäu region with fantastic views. The route leads through idyllic mountain forests and across picturesque alpine pastures. Sturdy footwear, sure-footedness, a head for heights and a good level of fitness are important for this route. There are exposed sections between Zinken and Sorgschrofen, but these are secured. There is also a rope-secured climbing section up to the Zinken. Stopping off at the Hintere Sorgalpe...
