July 8, 2025,🌧️⛰️ Rund um den Sorgschrofen 🏔️❄️

The last day in the Allgäu was the coldest and, above all, very, very wet 🌧️. I also wore my rain pants for the first time in a long time.

I stayed in the valley, of course, and drove to Jungholz 🏘️ for this "rain walk" 🚶‍♂️‍➡️. This place is practically located in an Austrian enclave surrounded by the Allgäu. …

We start at the Sorgalpen car park (€4 per day) and turn right towards Sorgalpe 2. After about 500 m, the path to Unterjoch branches off to the right, which we follow. We continue to Jungholz, keeping left. Behind the church, a road leads towards Rehbach, which we follow. Rehbach essentially consists of a hotel in a wonderful location, and …

Hello Hello,
Today we walked a loop that I found in a booklet with hiking suggestions that was included in our hotel's information folder. A rest lap for me and an acclimatization lap for Nicole.

August 14, 2024,Grenzgänger 3 - am Fuß des Sorgschrofen und der Vils entlang

Today there was another border crossing tour that took us over the Sorgalpe to Jungholz and Langenschwand and then down into the Kalbelealpe wildlife sanctuary and further into the Rehbachtal along the Vils.
The path along the Vils is a cycle path and there were a few people out there with their e-bikes.
Although it was quite warm again and …

We have done this tour many times and it is different every time. From the Sorgalpen car park (3 €/day) we go left towards Jungholz, then continue uphill, across the car park by the ski lifts towards Vilstal. In the Vilstal we go up along the rushing Vils to Rehberg and from there via Unterjoch to Sorgalpe 2. A break …
