View of the Iller from the RechberghausPhoto: Louis Zuchtriegel, CC BY, Tourist information centre Bad Grönenbach
Look at the Iller loop from a bird's-eye view and hike the forest and meadow paths of the Lower Allgäu.
You start at the forest parking lot and first enjoy the tranquility of the forest. Via a steep path you reach Rothenstein (with natural water treading area). Continue between fields and meadows to the Rechberghaus, then a short detour to the left to enjoy a great view of the Iller loop. Return path between meadows towards Rothmoos, then follow the nature experience trail to Frauenkau. Past the idyllic fish pond and then following the nature experience trail again, you reach the area below the High Castle.
Author’s recommendation
For cooling off, the natural water treading area in Rothenstein is recommended. Alternatively, at the end of the route below the High Castle, you will find our Kneipp facility with a treading pool, arm bath, and barefoot path.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
Track types
Roadbook
The hike starts at the forest parking lot and leads you through the Grünenbacher Forest towards Rothenstein. There you walk to the Nature Friends House (Rechberghaus, not served!). Here we recommend that you make a small detour to our communication bench – the furniture of the Allgäu hiking trilogy. To do this, turn left, after a few meters you will reach the bench. Take a seat and enjoy the wonderful view of the beautiful nature and the Iller.
Optional: Those who like can now follow the path towards the Iller experience bridge. This leads down a rooty, steep path to the bank of the Iller. From there it goes through the forest, partly along the Iller, to the experience bridge with observation tower and Kneipp treading facility (round trip about 4 km additionally).
The return path leads you from the Rechberghaus towards Rothmoos, then you follow the road for a short distance before turning onto the 'nature experience trail', which goes uphill along a forest path. Past a horse paddock, you continue to follow the nature experience trail, which then leads again onto a forest path. At Frauenkau you initially leave the nature experience trail. Then you walk past a fish pond, cross the Zeller Bach and reach the Pfaffenhalde circular trail in the forest. At the next intersection, you encounter the nature experience trail again, which you follow to the Castle Activity Park. Past the sports fields, after crossing the road, you return to the forest parking lot.
