The starting point is the valley station of the Breitenbergbahn in Pfronten. From there the tour goes through the fields at the foot of the Breitenberg along the Reichenbach into the Reichenbachklamm. Through the gorge the Via Alpina goes up to the Breitenberg. Past the Grenzer Hütte the route continues towards Aggenstein. Over the Bösen Tritt the path leads up to the Bad Kissinger Hütte. Then follows the ascent to the summit cross of the Aggenstein. The route goes back via the "Langen Strich" to the Hochalpe hiking area on the Breitenberg. The further descent takes you via the Hochalphütte to the Berghaus Allgäu and the Breitenbergbahn mountain station. From here the hiking trail follows under the route of the cable car back to the starting point.
Author’s recommendation
