- 4.8 (270)·Hard·7.4 miThis fairly challenging route starts at the parking lot in Reichenbach and leads along partly steep trails through the Allgäu Alps up to the Rubihorn, which rises to nearly 2,000 meters. As is always the case with hikes in alpine terrain, sturdy shoes and sure-footedness are essential here, especially near the summit. The ridge trail is secured with steel cables at several particularly challenging sections. With picturesque panoramic views, nature trails through secluded woodlands,...
- 4.7 (117)·Hard·10.9 miThis wonderful mountain hike begins south of Oberstdorf at the Nebelhornbahn parking lot (which charges a fee) 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! There are places to stop for refreshments, and the route is accessible by bus and train (access to the starting point from the...
- 4.4 (63)·Hard·4.7 mi·Est. 4–4.5 hrThis route follows the impressive ascent to the Nebelhorn and connects Oberstdorf with the striking mountain peak via a challenging yet scenically stunning stretch in the Allgäu Alps. The hike first leads along the wild and romantic Faltenbach stream and through shady mountain forests up to the idyllic Seealpe. From there, the trail climbs steadily through lush alpine meadows and past traditional alpine pastures until it finally reaches the striking summit of the Nebelhorn at $2224\text{ m}$....
- 4.7 (48)·Hard·3.3 mi·Est. 2–2.5 hrPanoramic hike in the Allgäu High Alps, Bavaria This hike, which is not too difficult by Alpine standards, leads from the mountain station of the Nebelhornbahn to the idyllic Seealpsee over the indicator saddle and back again. Sturdy shoes and sure-footedness are recommended, as this trail is still located in the high mountains. After the hike, it is possible to stop off at the Nebelhorn market restaurant or the Gemsnest panorama bar before taking the gondola lift back down to Oberstdorf in...
- 4.6 (61)·Hard·7.2 miChallenging 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 (49)·Hard·5.3 mi·Est. 4–4.5 hrPromising hike in Voralberg, Bavaria. The panorama hike or border hike on the Fellhorngrat is a popular themed trail in the Kleinwalsertal of Vorarlberg. The tour begins with the Söllereckbahn and initially goes up to 1358m. From there the route runs on a slightly uphill path to the 'Anderl-Heckmair-Gedächtniseg', which leads in serpentines through alpine rose slopes to the Söllerkopf (1940m). The beautiful, varied tightrope walk continues over the Schlappoldkopf (1968m) and the summit of...
- 4.8 (59)·Hard·4.9 mi·Est. 3.5–4 hrMultifaceted, fascinating loop hiking trail in the Allgäu Alps, Bavaria. This scenic loop route starts at the middle station of the Fellhornbahn and offers fantastic views of the surrounding landscape. Although the path is also suitable for beginners, a head for heights and being careful when it is wet is necessary. Highlights of the hike: - Schlappoldsee mountain lake - Refreshment stop Schlappoldalpe - View of the Walsertalellhornbahn - Fellhorn Peak
- 4.4 (62)·Hard·7.9 mi·Est. 6–6.5 hrPopular climb to the Kemptner Hütte from Oberstdorf, Bavaria. The Kemptner Hütte in Oberstdorf is the hub in the Allgäu Alps and the starting point for two of the most popular crossings of the Alps: the classic E5 from Oberstdorf via Bozen to Verona and its extremely attractive variant to Meran. 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...
- 4.5 (30)·Hard·10.9 mi·Est. 6.5–7 hrPromising hike from Oberstdorf in the Allgäu Alps. The hike leads from Oberstdorf over the Rubiger Alpe and the Gaisalptobelweg to the Lower Gaisalpsee.

- 4.6 (30)·Hard·5.4 mi·Est. 3.5–4 hrThis challenging high-altitude mountain hike takes you deep into the Allgäu Alps south of Oberstdorf. The trail starts at the idyllic Alpe Eschenbach in the Stillach Valley (near the Fellhornbahn valley station) and takes you on a strenuous climb to the highest lake in the Allgäu. The route is a challenging mix of steep serpentine paths, stony mountain trails, and alpine grassy slopes. A central highlight is the Rappenseehütte at 2,091 m, one of the largest and most spectacularly located huts...
