From the parking lot at the bridge on the B187 to Daniel and further over the Upsspitze to the Büchsentaljoch. Over Herbertaljoch, Grünen Ups and Tuft Alm we descend again. From the saddle between Upsspitze and Büchsentaljoch definitely only for experienced hikers, sure-footedness, a head for heights and orientation skills in the terrain are absolutely necessary here. If you have these, however, it's a super beautiful and rather secluded descent variant.

The spectacular landscape around the Coburger Hut, but especially the view over the Seebensee to the Zugspitze massif, has left many hikers speechless. There are three idyllic mountain lakes in the immediate vicinity of the Coburger Hut. It is therefore not surprising that the area in the Mieminger Chain is gaining increasing popularity. A lonely mountain idyll in a rugged mountain landscape can be found in the Brendlkar. The Hoher Gang and Hinterer Tajakopf require a certain amount of surefootedness and a head for heights.

Breathtaking hike on Germany's highest mountain! The ascent starts with a bang: the gigantic Partnach Gorge (keep a rain jacket handy :-)
After 30 minutes of amazement, you step into the dazzling sunlight. The Partnach becomes the lovely river again and via Bock Hut and Reintalanger Hut it goes on to Knorr Hut. After that, the route really gets going. Deep snow, via ferrata and more!
