October 7, 2023,Felsentor – Sorgschrofen Aussicht Runde von Jungholz

Mega tour.
I found it quite adventurous, especially since a long stretch of challenging terrain begins after the rock gate. It is marked T4 on the card. So if you don't have a problem with height and are sure-footed. He can climb through this well.

A small, but nice and quite climbing-intensive mountain tour in the Allgäu.

It is a very nice tour, depending on your condition 5-7 hours! Not possible with small children as there are small climbing passages on the transition between Zinken and Sorgschrofen!

🥾 Route: Start is the village car park in Unterjoch (fee required). First, it goes along a tarmac road, then along a wide forest path. In the forest, we follow a small, nice path. Later, it gets a little steeper and the paths narrower. Finally, just before the summit (Zinken), is the entrance to the climbing passage, which is completely …

>> Round trip <<

Varied round trip. The ascent to the Zinken is an easy via ferrata passage (which, however, can be climbed well unsecured). On the way to the Sorgschrofen you hike along the ridge for a while. Down in the village (Unterjoch) there is a very good baker.

A beautiful tour with wonderful views, but the last 20-50m from the rock gate to the summit cross of the Sorgschrofen are very, very steep and are not suitable for dogs, especially for dogs over 15kg. Despite the rope safety, there are hardly any steps for you and the dog to climb up safely. The descent on the other side …

Beautiful, strenuous tour, the transition from Sorgschrofen to Zinken is only for the experienced and for those who like to climb.

Great mountain tour with all kinds of scrambling. The most critical areas are secured with steel cables, but not all of them. In addition, your own fear of heights should be very low, as there are some exposed areas, especially when crossing the mountain.
