Hiking Highlight (Segment)
This Highlight goes through a protected area
Please check local regulations for: Allgäuer Hochalpen
Location: Oberstdorf, Oberallgäu, Allgäu, Swabia, Bavaria, Germany
The ascent over the Hölltobel and the Rautweg leads along natural mountain paths. Ankle-high mountain boots with a good tread sole, sure-footedness and a minimum of head for heights are recommended! Beware of wet conditions!
The descent is below Gerstrubens. Here you have the opportunity to admire the deep insight into the interior of the gorge via airy hanging viewing pulpits.

One of the most beautiful ravines I know, you should absolutely run up to Gerstruben and then stop off and enjoy the view

Spectacular march over steep trail. Once a creek must be crossed. Pure nature and definitely worth a detour. Best descend on the Rautweg again.

Very nice hike, and you can depending on your mood and even continue running

Great, varied path that definitely requires sturdy shoes. Particularly recommended in summer, as the Tobelweg is then probably the least damp and slippery and is therefore the best passable.

Very nice forest away, can be quite slippery when it rains. In summer it is rather cool at the waterfalls even in warm temperatures.

Very worth seeing section - a bit exhausting during the ascent but absolutely recommended. Surefootedness required!

A "small" wild ravine with a large waterfall, which is not expected here. The path is easy to walk with hiking shoes, but when it is wet it is tw. quite slippery.

Spectacular, grandiose natural spectacle - a great hiking trail and (so far) not overcrowded.

It is best to walk through the ravine from below, as it is sometimes very slippery.

An exciting path and a huge waterfall. Definitely a recommended hike. I walked up the Hölltobelweg and descended via the Rautweg. I think it's better that way than the other way around. Hiking shoes are useful, the path is very uneven and often slippery. Walking sticks can also be helpful.

A natural spectacle that is second to none

The way uphill is much more pleasant to walk than downhill. Those who are reasonably sure-footed should not miss this path - super nice!
