Point to point
This 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 $2224\text{ m}$. In addition to the magnificent 360-degree summit panorama, the mountain station offers experienced alpinists with a head for heights access to the famous Hindelanger via ferrata, while leisure hikers can comfortably take the Nebelhornbahn cable car back down.
