    Mountaineering

    This is a mountain pass (1688m) that lies exactly on the border between Germany and Austria. In 1795 the Schrofenpass was laid out as a mule track. During the Second World War, on April 15 and 16, 1945, the SS blew up a 2m long section of the old mountain path. Since then, this part has been secured by the DAV with an aluminum ladder.
    Along with Haldenwanger Eck, the pass is one of the southernmost points in Germany.

    Nice ascent with a really great view of the valley. Not difficult. But you should be free from giddiness.

    Mountaineering

    The main ridge of the Allgäu Alps runs over the 1688 meter high Schrofenpass. Broken sections are secured with steel cables and two aluminum bridges. We actually came across mountain bikers carrying their bikes up the steep pass. They were on their way to Riva del Garda. Since it had rained shortly before, it was quite slippery. But the pass was still doable.

    Hard mountaineering route. Very good fitness required. Sure-footedness, sturdy shoes and alpine experience required.
