    You start the hike in Pfronten-Kappel. After a short walk through the village, you turn onto the Kappeler Höhenweg. Those interested can take a short visit to a freely accessible "Hay Museum" (a permanent exhibition of old agricultural equipment). Afterwards, you continue the hike on a forest trail. The path through the forest is partly steep and leads uphill over root-covered paths. At the end of the forest trail, it is not far to the popular Hündeleskopfhütte. After a stop at the hut, you return to the valley on well-developed paths (partly asphalted). Once back in the valley, the return route leads through the Höllschlucht forest climbing garden back to the starting point of the route. 

    Author’s recommendation

    Be sure to stop at the Hündeleskopfhütte – the first vegetarian mountain hut in the Alps.
