Loop
This 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 known as the southernmost point in Germany and an important center for winter sports and is located in a dramatic valley. Due to the seriousness of this tour, a via ferrata set is strongly recommended for the exposed, rope-insured passages.
