May 18, 2022,Grenzgänger Wanderung 🇩🇪 🇦🇹 - Josefsteig - Saloberalm - AP Salober - AP Zwölferkopf - Mariengrotte - Burgruine Falkenstein - Grat am Einerkopf - Zirmgrad - Vier Seen Blick - 🔁 Runde vom Alatsee - Füssen - LKR. Ostallgäu aus 🥾

Servus from Bavaria!

This beautiful hike with a few meters in altitude begins at the Alatsee in Füssen in the Ostallgäu district. The weather was already quite hot for mid-May, so after only 1.5 kilometers the sweat ran into my eyes and burned. My shirt shouldn't just be soaked in sweat today either. The Alatsee is a meromictic lake six …

Mostly very nice paths (forest floor, small paths over hill and dale).
Despite the steady increase pleasant to walk. Nice view on the ridge path from the castle ruins to the Salober. Saw a lot of chamois and watched them move on. From the Salober Alm to the Alatsee car park, there was a wide gravel path that was no …

I don't think a tour can offer more HIGHLIGHT's & VARIETY. Very beautiful and different sections of the trail, where you often have a 360 ° view. We used the sticks a lot today.

We started at 8.45 a.m. and were able to enjoy the "wild mountain solitude".

June 25, 2023,Wanderung Alatsee und 3 Gipfel - gut mit Hund

The path to Falkenstein Castle runs almost entirely through the forest. The path is quite varied from hiking trails to short asphalt stretches. No problem with big, fit dogs. However, there are a few passages (both up and down) where the steps/steps are quite high. Smaller dogs may need to be carried here.
