Trail runs in the Oberallgäu

Author of this page
The Oberallgäu provides almost endless opportunities to leave your usual jogging route and go trail running. Runners can not only expect impressive views from the top of "Grünten", "Wertacher Hörnle" or "Immenstädter Horn", but also shadowy trails through "Hirschbachtobel" or "Haldertobel". Well-known competition routes at "Nebelhorn" and "Grünten" promise a motivational boost for running routes.

Anyone looking for decent trail running routes in the Allgäu might like to consider this loop at the back of the village of Imberg. Accessible throughout (most of) the year, it takes you through forests, along a mountain stream, and up to and around meadows and marshes of Strausberg with glorious mountain views assured.

Panorama runs for beginners and advanced runners

In the Oberallgäu, the foothills of the Alps gradually change into alpine terrain. No wonder that you can reach impressive vantage points during a short or long run.

A challenging tour with magnificent views over the Oberallgäu mountains leads over the three peaks "Ornach", "Spieser" and "Wertacher Hörnle". Accompanied by an equally magnificent alpine panorama, you will be on easier trail running routes to the "Salmaser Höhe" or from Waltenhofen to Immenstadt.

Challenging training tracks

A special motivation boost can be training on a competition course or even taking part in a competition in the Oberallgäu. For example, a very demanding run leads to the 2224 m high "Nebelhorn".

Summit conquerors can also go on the trail running course of the "Grüntenstaffette" and train for the exciting team competition. Those who are enthusiastic about the combination of trail running and swimming can choose one of the training courses for the "Allgäu Triathlon".

Trails by the water

The trail running route in the heart of the Oberallgäu from Bad Hindelang through the "Ostrachtal" to Hinterstein runs first along the river Ostrach, then much more challenging on the western flank of the "Iseler" and through the "Hirschbachtobel" back again. Especially worthwhile on this two-hour tour is a short detour to the waterfall "Schleierfall".

On the way from "Hüttenberger Eck" to Blaichach you can refresh yourself in the "Haldertobel" on the cool water of the "Gunzesrieder Ach". There are also attractive trails around the lake "Rottachsee".

    Bin Mitte September den Trail gelaufen. Es war sehr wenig los und ich hab auf der gesamten Runde weniger als 10 andere Wanderer getroffen. Der Anstieg von Immenstadt aus war für mich zu steil zum joggen, aber wenn man den Anstieg mal geschafft hat, kann man es schön laufen lassen. Leider sind zwischendurch 3km asphaltiert. Aber ansonsten wirklich schön.

    Sehr abwechslungsreich. Der erste Teil bis zum Gipfel ist klasse. Dann wird es krampfig weil, wie in der Beschreibung, steht die Wegmarkierungen schlecht zu finden sind. Selbst bei bester Sicht. Unbedingt den Track mitnehmen. Und die Karte zuvor anschauen denn es wird im oberen Teil der Tour beim Abstieg vom offiziellen Wanderweg abgewichen. Das habe ich versucht bin zuerst dem Track gefolgt und bin dann zurück auf den offiziellen Wanderweg. Ansonsten feine Tour

    Geiler Trail. Sind den heute gelaufen. Man brauchte auf jeden Fall Gerödel/Spikes aber ansonsten sehr gut zu laufen. Die ersten Kilometer sind nicht so aussichtsreich, bis man am Gipfelkreuz ist und ab da an ist eine geniale Sicht. Und am Gipfelkreuz der Blick war auch der Hammer.

    Abwechslungsreiche Strecke und schöne Trails. Da direkt in der Nähe bietet es sich an den Tag danach noch in der Sauna in Nesselwang ausklingen zu lassen.

    Eine zurecht beliebte Runde, die je nach Ausgangspunkt beliebig verlängert oder verkürzt werden kann. Meine Lieblingsvariante ist der direkte Anstieg von Schöllang durch den Eybachtobel. Der ist zwar ziemlich steil, aber abwechslungsreich und ideal, wenn's mal pressiert.

    Really nice trail with a lake where you can take a nice break for a swim. Probably the best trail run one can do directly from Kempten.
