- 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...
- 4.7 (41)·Moderate·7 mi·Est. 4.5–5 hrTrail with fantastic views near Oberstdorf in the Allgäu High Alps, Bavaria. The gliding path is often exposed and secured with steel cables. Still, the descent from the Nebelhornbahn to the idyllic Seealpsee in the Oytal is one of the most beautiful but demanding descents in the Allgäu Alps. Therefore it is only suitable for experienced hikers. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are required, and sturdy shoes are necessary. Danger! In the rugged terrain, falling rocks cannot be ruled...
- 4.6 (20)·Hard·13.7 miPopular hike in the Allgäu Alps, Bavaria. A wonderful hike with difficult passages where hands and feet have to be used on the Nebelhorn in the Allgäu. The Seealpsee offers a wonderful break with a view. The variant via the Oytal requires stamina and sure-footedness. It is possible to make a short detour to the Seealpe mountain inn shortly before the end of the hike and get hearty food and drinks. Highlights of the hike: - Seealpsee - Gaisalphorn - Foghorn - Views over the Allgäu
- 5.0 (11)·Hard·7.9 mi·Est. 5–5.5 hrExhausting section in the Allgäu, Bavaria. The 18th stage of the Himmelsstürmer Route is a demanding route that leads quite steeply along the walls of the lake through the Oytal to the DAV hut below the Nebelhorn summit. Here you will find a beautiful mountain lake where you can linger when you have arrived at the Edmund-Probst-Haus, the stage destination. Highlights: - Trettach stream bed - View of the Iller Trogtal - Seealpsee
- 4.3 (8)·Hard·12.1 mi·Est. 8.5–9.5 hrDemanding ridge tour from Oberstdorf, Bavaria. This hike leads from Oberstdorf up to the Schattenberg and from there follows the rocky, sometimes razor-sharp grassy ridge overgrown with dense mountain pines via Seeköpfle and Hüttenkopf to the Zeigersattel. This alpine ridge hike is probably one of the most beautiful, but also most challenging descents in the Allgäu Alps and leads down into the Oytal valley. The entire route offers magnificent views of the Oberstdorf mountains, the Illertal...
- 4.8 (9)·Hard·13.5 mi·Est. 8–9 hrVersatile hike in the Allgäu High Alps, Bavaria. The long hike leads along beautiful green mountain ranges, wide paths and wonderful views. The route requires good stamina, but the views are incredible at every turn. From the Nebelhornbahn valley station, the route leads along the Trettach river from Oberstdorf on a wide driveway to the Oytalhaus. From there, the ascent towards Gutenalpe begins. The Stuibenfall and Himmelseck provide variety and great views. Great mountain scenery...
- 4.2 (2)·Strenuous·25.8 miThis is a true alpine test, classified as a T4 Alpine hike, which requires a high level of fitness, experience and the right equipment. The Oberstdorf Großer Wilden Rundweg leads over a rough, high alpine loop on the Großer Wilden. The route requires absolute surefootedness and a head for heights due to continuous exposure on rocky paths and challenging ridge passages. Sections require easy climbing and a helmet is mandatory due to the constant risk of falling rocks. Oberstdorf itself is...
