May 12, 2025,Sonnenkopf – Schnippenkopf Runde von Hinang

A very beautiful hike. You're in the sun a lot, so it's a great spring hike, but it should be dry. There are beautiful views in all directions.

June 6, 2022,Sonnenkopf – Schnippenkopf Runde von Hinang

difficult tour.
The ascent is particularly difficult because the path is unpaved. I recommend only doing the tour when the weather is nice, otherwise there is a great risk of slipping and injury

June 13, 2024,„Auf der Suche nach dem verlorenen Grödel Tour“ 😅 - Sonnenköpfe ⛰️

Relaxed after-work round, hoping that I might find my crampons that I lost on New Year's Eve 😅
Unfortunately I didn't succeed, but I did have a lovely, relaxed round all to myself 🤗
The Sonnenkopf round is always lovely 🥰

August 10, 2025,Sonnenköpfe ab Sonnenklause

Crossing the Sonnenköpfe peaks is one of the most beautiful panoramic hikes in the Allgäu.
Especially today, with clear visibility and yet summery temperatures, this hike will be an unforgettable experience.

The hiking car park at the Sonnenklause is a great place to start, which also offers the advantage of enjoying a well-deserved stop there after crossing the summit.
Especially …

July 2, 2022,Runde von Parkplatz - Berghotel Sonnenklause - Auf der Schnippe - Sonnenkopf - Heidelbeerkopf - Schnippenkopf - Falkenalpe - Entschenalpe und zurück

... and again a fantastic ridge hike with partly bumpy and steep climbs. For us a TOP hike, which is always rewarded with new views. The descent to the Entschenalpe is partly difficult to pass due to the storm 2 days ago (mud avalanches).

October 7, 2023,Kurz und steil, Runde über Sonnenkopf, Heidelbeerkopf und Schnippenkopf

Such a short tour with steep climbs on alpine paths with a magnificent view in the finest sunshine and summer temperatures.....
So much happiness at the summit!!! We are still totally amazed! 🥰🤗🙏

We actually had other plans, but then we wanted to go higher, preferably over 2,000 m. That didn't quite happen, but we feel like "Hans lucky." The …
