Tips

The sunset on Hörnle is a dream. The quickest way leads over the south side, following the "Winterweg", then left at about 1150m. If you take the winter path in the direction of Grüntenhaus and goes from deadly direction to the summit, you have a wire insured rock ridge (dizziness and surefootedness!).

Free parking is available at the end of Burgberg, direction Alpenblick. From the beginning of the mast road all parking spaces are chargeable!

the shorter ascent of Burgberg is quite steep and not without. But those who have made it, will be rewarded with a hammer prospect over the Illertal and the Allgäuer high alps. And who needs additional adrenaline, should descend on the secured with a steel ridge rock direction Grüntenhaus. But beware. Never, if the stones are wet, or with wobbly legs, or even if you are afraid of heights! Have already crashed enough

Weather conditions: Wet, muddy, and slippery, approximately 17°C.

Difficulty: Only for experienced hikers with basic climbing experience.

Hazards: Risk of slipping and falling.

Even if it feels daunting, a via ferrata set is highly recommended for the short sections secured with steel cables – especially for beginners. Since the route runs directly along a rocky edge, you don't want to fall.

It's also recommended to wear proper hiking boots. On the climbing sections and extremely uneven trails, you can easily sprain your ankles in regular hiking boots.
