    This hike takes us from the top station of the Hornbahn cable car around the Imberger Horn over the Strausbergsattel to the Alpe Mitterhaus. Then we steadily descend past the Horn Café to the valley station of the Hornbahn.

    During this hike, we are repeatedly treated to magnificent views of the surrounding mountains of the Allgäu Alps and of the villages in the valleys. We circle the Imberger Horn, cross the Strausbergsattel, and can enjoy hearty meals either at the Mitterhaus or at the Horn Café. The hike is also suitable for families with older children.

    Those seeking a challenge can alternatively hike directly over the Imberger Horn. The path is partially secured with wire ropes. However, this somewhat more demanding route is not suitable for children.

    Author’s recommendation

    Those seeking a challenge can alternatively hike directly over the Imberger Horn. The path is partially secured with wire ropes. However, this somewhat more demanding route is not suitable for children.
    Or you can walk about two kilometers further down the valley from Alpe Mitterhaus and enjoy the impressive view of the massive walls of the Wengenköpfe, over which the Hindelanger Klettersteig runs from the Nebelhorn to the Großer Daumen.

    Roadbook

    Our hike begins at the valley station of the Hornbahn cable car. A gondola takes us up to the top station. From there, we head towards the Strausberg-Alpe. Keeping Burgschrofen and Zwölferkopf in sight, we first go west, then turn south and hike along the west side of the Imberger Horn. After a while, we pass the Strausberg-Alpe slightly above and shortly after cross the Strausbergsattel.

    Then we continue south downhill to the Alpe Mitterhaus in the Retterschwanger Valley, where we can refresh ourselves. After a generous break, we cross the Bsonderach and continue down the valley towards the Horn Café, where we can also take a break. Then we continue towards Bad Oberdorf. Our path passes west of Alpenrosenköpfle and then wind down the valley via switchbacks. There we cross the Ostrach on a covered wooden bridge and then turn left to return to the parking lot at the valley station of the Hornbahn.
