- 4.8 (37)·Hard·7.4 mi·Est. 6–6.5 hrChallenging mountain hike in the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park, Allgäu, Bavaria. Due to its length, the hike (as a loop) is not for beginners. Thanks to the Hochgratbahn, the sweaty ascent or the knee-straining descent can be avoided. The view from the Hochgrat is really beautiful. The loop is simply terrific and, in good weather conditions, an absolute top tour in the Allgäu Alps. Absolutely recommendable, even if there is always a lot going on at the Hochgrat summit. On average, it takes...
