    The starting point is the public car park in Pfronten-Kappel (end of town towards Nesselwang). From there it is about a 45-minute walk up to the Hündeleskopfhütte. Here you can take a short break to refresh yourself, or you can postpone the stop for refreshments until later, when you have walked further up towards the Kappeler Alm. From up there, you descend briskly back into the valley on the natural sledding track.

    Hallo Thilo, die Rodelbahn ist aktuell aufgrund des Schneemangels nicht geöffnet. Der Wanderweg zur Hündeleskopfhütte und Kappeler Alp ist jedoch gut begehbar. Viele Grüße aus dem Haus des Gastes
