Hiking

Now begins the time when nature gives it all once again: warm light, clear air, and colors as if someone had repainted the world. It's a time of enjoyment: ripe fields, full fruit trees, and the scent of autumn leaves accompany you on your journey. You can buy what's growing outside in the farm shops or it ends up in the pots of the restaurants: simple, honest, and truly delicious. If you stop for a break along the way, you'll quickly realize how well exercise and enjoyment complement each other.

If you're in the mood for a special hike, then set off on a mountain hike to the Höchsten. It's the longest and most challenging of the three premium "LandGänge" hiking trails, but also one of the most rewarding. After just a few steps, the Deggenhausertal valley appears below you, and you can enjoy the sweeping view that immerses you directly in the landscape. And the further you go, the clearer it becomes: This isn't just about arriving, but about experiencing. At the end, a breathtaking view awaits you – and that's no exaggeration.

Great view from the Höchsten

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 842 meters, the Höchsten is the highest elevation in Upper Swabia and Linzgau. It lies between the communities of Deggenhausertal, Illmensee and Wilhelmsdorf. As a prominent watershed, streams flow either to the Danube or via Lake Constance into the Rhine. From the top, the view extends as far as the Alps. Hiking trails and cycle routes make it a popular destination for nature lovers and athletes.

Wooden Bridge Over the Aubach

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge takes you over the romantic Aubach stream, which gently babbles along. You're surrounded by beautiful mixed forest. In spring, when the sun awakens the buds of the deciduous trees, various bird species flock here.

Make yourself comfortable on the bench and let your gaze wander over Lake Constance. If the visibility is good, you will see the snow-covered Alpine peaks in the distance. Simply fantastic!

A fantastic hike, a truly premium hiking trail 🤩
Highly recommended, unique❗️

With really great weather and warm temperatures, we did the Höchsten mountain tour from the BodenseeLangGängen.

Here is the description for the LandGang:

*The Höchste mountain tour premium hiking trail is the longest and most demanding land walk. The highlight of the hike is the Höchste. This small peak is the highest elevation between the Hegau in the west and …

Today on the road in Swabia 😄 We did the tour in the opposite direction. So you can see the lake on the descent. The tour is beautiful, although I have to say, a hiker who is connected to home, that the view from the Haldenhof near Sipplingen is much more spectacular for me

Today we headed toward Lake Constance.
A fantastic tour in the Deggenhausertal valley. Gorgeous forest trails, beautiful, albeit somewhat cloudy, views, and perfect weather. It was a blast!

The Höchsten isn't making it easy for me! It's not the difficult climb, though, because at 842 meters, it's the highest point in the Linzgau region, but as a "mountain," it's rather diminutive.

No, the reason for the difficulty is that every time I want to visit it, it regally shrouds itself in a blanket of clouds.

A demanding and varied round tour with spectacular views of Lake Constance and the Alps.

Premium hiking trail, very well signposted, great to hike, plenty of rest areas, a few with a table.
Good fitness is required, as the tour starts on the Höchsten at almost 863 m, then descends continuously to Obersiggingen at 464 m. …

This premium-certified tour takes you to the "highest" point in the region at 820m. The hiking car park is easy to approach and free of charge.
At the starting point of the hike, it goes back to the village.
A small breakfast is recommended, because you will soon get to the "Bergstüble" and you should definitely stop here. The longest …
