September 2, 2023,Auf zur Jöchelspitze ⛰️🥾

I don't know why the altitude isn't right... it was around 1,300... 😅

August 17, 2022,Steil hinauf zur Jöchelspitze 2226 m auf einer Panoramastrecke über Wiesen, Geröllfelder und schroffe Kletterstellen, zurück ins Tal zur Hängebrücke. Adler und Murmeltiere inklusive!

A wonderful tour, as there is a climbing area with ropes during the hike (Ramstallspitze area) not for inexperienced hikers. In my opinion, proper equipment is a prerequisite for the walking time, many parts of the tour are marked in black! Alpine dangers etc.

July 2, 2022,Top of Allgäu - Großer Krottenkopf (höchster Gipfel im Allgäu)

Today I took the king of the Allgäu Alps to my chest. Started from the Tyrolean side, under the Holzgau suspension bridge and past a beautiful waterfall up into the alpine world. Mega nice tour 👏
On the way back I took the Jöchelspitze with me 😎
