A wonderful route which presents no unsolvable problems but offers a marvelous backdrop.
Willersalpe lies amidst sunny meadows where cows and young cattle graze.

It should be noted that mountain sports entail an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparation through endurance training, corresponding technical training and further education, as well as personal caution, reduces the risk and hazards. But please never forget that weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.Roadbook
From the west parking lot in Tannheim, head southeast past the tennis court Sägerklause towards the grotto. Now follow the signs further towards Roßalpe. From the lower Roßalpe, the path becomes somewhat more challenging. Over the saddle between Schnurschrofen and Geißhorn, through the Feldalpe area, we reach Älpele, which invites you to stop for a break. A short section back the same way, at the fork keep right uphill towards Zirleseck. Once at the top, we already see Willersalpe. From Willersalpe we follow the "Jubilee Path" to Schafwanne. Below Geißeck, steadily ascending, we reach the summit of Geißhorn. The descent leads northward towards Obere Roßalpe and further to Vilsalpsee. Those who no longer want to walk the last stretch back to Tannheim can take the carriage, bus, or Alpenexpress here.
