Wonderful route on the Grünten. Very few people until reaching the Grüntenhütte, but from the Grüntenhütte to the summit, much more.😂
Up to the Grüntenhütte, it is a very pleasant family route; the ascent to the summit is then a bit sweaty.
Many places to stop and eat

In this video, I take you on a spring mountain hike to one of the most famous peaks of the Allgäu Alps, namely the Grünten (1738m). More precisely, the route goes via the normal path over the Burgberger Hörnle (1497m) and Siechenkopf (1572m) to the Übelhorn (Grünten).
