- 4.7 (271)·Hard·10.3 mi·Est. 7–8 hrPanoramic 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...

- 4.7 (60)·Hard·4.5 mi·Est. 3.5–4 hrPanoramic 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...

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...
