Forest path with tree roots

Highlight • Trail

The section between Älpele and Wildsulzhütte should be treated with caution when it is wet! Many roots and stones are then very slippery.

At the Wildsulzhütte, the path to the Säuling splits from the Älpele. Up around the left and around the Pilgerschrofen (right) down again is the easier option. However, please only with sure-footedness, a head for heights and physical condition!

January 22, 2022,❄Schwangau-Säuling (Abbruch)

A timely start and the best preparation couldn't change anything today. We had to cancel! The winter ascent ❄ of the Säuling through the north flank was planned. However, the unbound snow cover 🏔 on the steep slope, the wind and the visibility were so bad that, despite using crampons and ice axes, we could neither "guarantee" the "summit victory" …

On German Unity Day 🇩🇪, I took advantage of the good weather again and made a detour to Füssen. I parked at P1 near the Royal Castles. Since I arrived at 8 a.m., there was fortunately no sign of the usual hustle and bustle :-).
