Oytal Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The path through the Oytal is one of the classics in Oberstdorf and is correspondingly well attended. But still worth it because it's really beautiful.

Bridge with view of Trettachspitze and Kratzer

Highlight • Bridge

Great view of the Trettachtal. Absolutely worthwhile, especially in spring when the mountains are still covered in snow.

Moor Pond

Highlight • Lake

A visit to the moorland pond with its lush vegetation is highly recommended. It lies above Oberstdorf and can be reached in 15 minutes from the Nebelhorn cable car station (passing the moorland bathing area).

July 8, 2024,Blick ins Oytal – Oytal Runde von Oberstdorf

Today we hiked with our dog 🐕 from Oberstdorf (Nebelhornbahn car park) to the beautiful Oytal. Beautiful tour with a great view. Ideal if you are travelling with a dog. The way back mostly leads along the water where your four-legged friend can cool off. We were on the trail for 4.5 hours including breaks.

Hoytal Halle car park €15 day ticket.
The way there is almost all asphalt, but the way back is very nice on a shady gravel path along the water.

In order to use half of the rain-free day, we went to the Oytal. Lots of water came towards us in the Trettach and the Oy. We drove back by scooter from the Oytalhaus to Oberstdorf.

The last round with my small rehabilitation hiking group took us to the beautiful Oytal. First we walked to the bus stop 🚌 to Tiefenbach, then the tour started in Oberstdorf. At the beginning of the round we had to overcome a steep climb, after that it was a really beautiful tour on the best paths with a wonderful view. …

First of all thanks to @Fietche for the suggestion and my better half for wanting to do this tour so much. Until midday it didn't look as if one could venture a step outside the door. And then curtain up for creamy weather. We would have liked to have gone a little further into the valley, but we have a …

We took a leisurely 1.5-hour climb along the water. Arriving in the Oytal Valley, we treated ourselves to a cold drink before enjoying a magnificent view on the Oytal scooters for a quarter of an hour. And now we're heading up to the Nebelhorn again on the cable car.
