Let yourself be surprised by the different designs of the individual letters of the Jungholz place name by various artists from the surrounding area. At the same time, you hike through the refreshing nature of the village. The letter trail in Jungholz starts at the lift parking lot in Jungholz. The letters of the place name are displayed at various points in the village. All points can thus be reached via a circular path. The accessible paths and excursion destinations selected by us also invite families and people with mobility aids to discover: they are mostly asphalted or well-graveled and mostly easy to navigate with a stroller or wheelchair – though in some sections a helping hand may be beneficial.

    Wie der Autor und ein Rezensient schreiben ist diese kleine Tour technisch anspruchsvoll, nicht zu unterschätzen und m.E. mitnichten als "leicht" einzustufen, zumal sie auf den Wegeweisern auch als "schwarz" und somit schwer bezeichnet wird.

    Eine sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Wanderung, die auch für Leute mit Höhenangst geeignet ist, da die Wege entweder sehr gut ausgebaut sind oder nicht an Abhängen oder ähnlichem entlang führen. Ich würde die Runde nicht andersherum laufen, da der Abstieg dann steil und rutschig sein kann, wenn das Wetter nicht so optimal ist bzw. war.

    Wir haben diese Tour gemacht und geben nur vier Sterne, da in der Tour doch größere Versätze waren und der Aufstieg zwischendurch über das Geröll doch schwieriger waren als sich die Beschreibung las. Ansonsten ein toller Tipp, der sich gelohnt hat. Abgestiegen sind wir über den Irfenblick auf der Rückseite nach Oberjoch. Alles in allem eine tolle Wanderung mit sehr alpinen Details.

    Eine spektakuläre Tour, bei der uns besonders der spektakuläre Grat zwischen Zinken und Sorgschrofen gefallen hat. Trittsicherheit ist Grundvoraussetzung auf dieser Tour und auch eine gewisse Kondition. Aber dann steht dieser tollen Bergtour nichts mehr im Wege! :-)

    Eine schöne Tour für Familien mit geübten Wanderkindern. Unseren 2 (8 und 6) hat die Tour super gefallen, tolle Waldstücke, schöne Wurzelwege oben etwas kraxeln. Oben überall eine schöne Rundumaussicht ins Tannheimertal, Ostallgäu und bis zum Ifen, tolle Bank am Gipfel zum Brotzeiten. Das nächste Mal parken wir in Langschwend und sparen uns die 15min Asphaltweg. Danke für die schöne Tour!

    Wunderschöne Tour mit herrlichen Ausblicken (erstes Drittel Mai 2023), nur manches Straßenstück zieht sich etwas. Der Bus fuhr nur bis kurz hinter den Kreisverkehr (Oberjoch), also war bis zum Einstieg in den Tobel ein gutes Stück Paßstraße zu bewältigen, dies nur als Info. Für Sebald-Fans doppelte Empfehlung.
