Far-reaching views into the Alpine foothills and beyond
The Hauchenberg is a long mountain ridge that unites the villages of the Weitnau valley and the municipality of Missen-Wilhams. In honour of the Alp King Carl Hirnbein, the Alpkönigblick lookout tower was built on the Hauchenberg - from there you can look out over the Weitnauer and Illertal valleys, West Allgäu, the Isny Basin and the Allgäu Alps and as far as Säntis and the Zugspitze. The tower can be reached from several starting points via various hiking trails.
