Sebaldweg

The Sebaldweg was established in memory of the writer W. G. Sebald. Born in Wertach, he was an important German writer of the post-war period, and many of his works gained international recognition. Six steles with excerpts from Sebald's book "Schwindel. Gefühle." have been set up along the Sebaldweg. They provide insight into the author's work and the original settings of his narrative.

The starting point of the hike is located at about 1200 m in Oberjoch, at the German-Austrian border. The path goes downhill through the picturesque Alpsteigtobel, where the first two steles are located. The third stele stands by the artistically restored Krummenbacher Chapel. The Sebaldweg then leads us to Unterjoch and from there along the Wertach River to the Vordere Sorg-Alpe, where we can stop for a break. The fourth stele is also there. Nearby is the Alpenhotel Pfeiffermühle, where we can also rest. Passing the village of Jungholz, the trail continues to the stele at "Engen Plätt" and from there to Wertach, where the last stele is located at the Starzlach bridge. The Sebaldweg ends at the author's birth house in the town.
