A beautifully situated mountain inn, but it can get very crowded on sunny days.

Embark on the Oytal circuit from Oberstdorf, a moderate hike through the picturesque Allgäu Alps. This 7.1-mile (11.4 km) route, typically completed in 3 hours and 8 minutes, offers varied terrain from asphalt to natural paths, winding through forests and open valley floors. You will experience magnificent mountain panoramas, with views of peaks like Mädelegabel and Trettachspitze, alongside crystal-clear streams and flower-filled meadows, creating a serene atmosphere.
Planning your visit is straightforward, as the starting point is easily accessible from Oberstdorf, often near parking or a short walk from the train station. While generally suitable for good fitness, some sections can be narrow or steep if you extend the hike to higher altitudes. The trail is enjoyable across seasons, from spring's roaring waterfalls to golden autumn days, and even offers enchanting winter scenery. Starting your hike early is recommended, as this popular route can get crowded later in the day.
A highlight of the Oytal circuit is the Oytalhaus, a mountain inn perfect for refreshments and local dishes, marking the transition to unpaved paths deeper into the valley. For a unique return, you can rent a mountain scooter from the Oytalhaus for an exciting descent back to Oberstdorf. You might also consider a short detour to the moorland pond, reachable in about 15 minutes from the Nebelhorn cable car station, known for its lush vegetation.
