    An eventful ridge hike with plenty of views in all directions. Following the trail of the Allgäu hiking trilogy, the route leads to the northern shore of the Großer Alpsee, the largest natural lake in Allgäu. Return from Bühl by regular bus. Cozy huts and spots at the Alpsee invite you to take a break and refresh yourself.

    From the station, head to Kalzhofen and follow the signs for the Allgäu hiking trilogy. Ascend along the golf greens to the Upper Gsangs Alpe. In dry conditions, we recommend taking the meadow path uphill with scenic views over the ridge of Muttener and Kalzhofener heights. In wet conditions, choose the path along the hiking trilogy. At the pass height of the Hompessenalpweg, follow the meadow and later the forest path toward the summit of the Salmaser Höhe. Enjoying magnificent views, proceed eastward with moderate ups and downs over the Thaler Höhe to the Alpsee-Tiefblick viewpoint.

    Continue toward the rustic Pfarralpe (refreshment option), but before that, turn right and take a lovely hiking trail to the Siedel Alpe (refreshment option). Follow the signs to Zaumberg, then turn right and take a hiking path down to the Großer Alpsee. Along Hausers’ beach by the promenade to Bühl (with several refreshment options) and past the church to the bus stop on B 308. Return by regular bus to Oberstaufen.

    Author’s recommendation

    On warm days, pack your swimwear and end the route with a refreshing water experience in the Alpsee. A lovely sunbathing lawn is available on the northern shore.
