- 4.7 (115)·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!

- 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...
