    From the starting point in Oberstdorf, the tour initially takes a relaxed route on a tarred path deep into the Oytal valley. The view of the valley, framed by high mountain walls, characterizes this section. Waterfalls and lush green meadows can be discovered again and again before the route leads along an avenue of trees directly to the Oytal-Haus. Here you can take a break for refreshments or - especially for children - pet the donkeys.

    After the break, the sporty part of the ascent begins: the path leads through quiet mountain forest and climbs increasingly steeply. As the altitude increases, the view opens up more and more - the Allgäu presents itself around the Hahnenköpfle with an unobstructed view of the surrounding peaks. Once you reach the summit cross, you are rewarded with an impressive 360-degree panoramic view of the valley and the surrounding mountain ranges. Here there is time for a well-earned snack with a view before the descent begins on the other side.

    The return route leads back down into the valley via well-maintained paths. Shortly before Oberstdorf, there is another opportunity to stop for a bite to eat at Café Gruben before the last stretch leads back to the starting point.

    Author’s recommendation

    Sturdy hiking boots are recommended for the steeper ascent and descent and the sometimes narrow paths.
