The Hochvogel panorama from Hinterhornbach is one of the most impressive sights in the entire Lechtal valley. The distinctive, pyramid-shaped rock formation of the Hochvogel (2,592 m) rises majestically above the tranquil valley floor and dominates the entire field of vision. A spectacular photo motif that impressively conveys the alpine wildness of the Allgäu Alps.

A look at the pictures and that should be enough persuasion. By the way.... you can definitely go into the water here, don't be afraid..... it doesn't stain, it's clear and not always too cold.
