- 4.8 (264)·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,...
- 4.6 (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...

- 4.5 (7)·Hard·5.5 miChallenging Via Ferrata in the Allgäu High Alps, Bavaria. The popular Hindelanger via Ferrata is one of the most extended and most demanding via Ferrata in the Allgäu. On a rugged grade between Nebelhorn and Großer Daumen, the via ferrata, secured in part by ladders and in part by wire ropes, leads along. Exciting climbs, as well as plenty of magnificent views, await. Surefootedness and a head for height are absolute basic requirements for the promotion. There are also some unsecured rock...
- 5.0 (2)·Hard·13.5 miPopular circular route in the Allgäuer Hohalpen, Bavaria. The Heilbronner Weg is a path steeped in history, whose roots go back to 1899. The version of the path that is finished today was completely polished in 2000. The Heilbronner Weg is one of the absolute mountaineering highlights and is one of the oldest via ferratas in Germany. It is also the highest alpine mountain trail in Germany, which is partly rugged, exposed and in many places secured by steel cables. The progress is mostly...
- Hard·19.4 miHighly scenic, high alpine long-distance hiking trail in the Allgäu Alps. The "Heilbronner Höhenweg" is an absolute highlight in the Allgäu Alps and is now over a hundred years old. From the Bockkarscharte, Germany's highest alpine trail runs continuously at an altitude of over 2,400 metres.

Parts of the tour...
- Strenuous·4.4 miChallenging Via Ferrata in the Allgäu high Alps. This route is a classic and challenging via ferrata and not a normal hiking trail. Complete via ferrata equipment, consisting of helmet, harness and via ferrata set, is absolutely essential for this long, high alpine ridge crossing. The climb is rated B/C and is a serious alpine undertaking that requires absolute surefootedness, a head for heights and mountain experience. The route follows the impressive, exposed ridge for several kilometers...
