シュヴァンガウの峠・トップ20

It's highly recommended as a hike. Anyone who wants to continue up the Geiselstein should have some experience and the necessary climbing equipment.

The saddle has an impressive name. So don't miss it!

From the Sabachjoch, you can either continue on the T4 towards Scheid, continue below Kellenschrofen and -spitze towards Rote Flüh and Gimpel, or return towards Reutte on one side and Nesselwängle on the other. Very nice view 🥰

The Schneid was first mentioned in an Austrian map in 1880 as Schneid Sp. The name derives from the grassy ridge extending westward. Such a "Schneid" is used in Bavarian for sharp ridges. Thaddäus Steiner therefore assumes that the use of the Schneid originates from its westernmost extension, since Egg was otherwise used in the Allgäu region. In the Tannheim Valley, however, a name based on the shape of a church was common. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schneid_(Tannheimer_Berge)

From the Sabachjoch, several destinations can be reached. The Schneidspitze is quickly reached via the western ridge. Northeast of it lies the Gehrenspitze. West of the Sabachjoch, a path below the striking cliffs leads to the Köllenspitze, and past the Zwerchenwand, you can also reach the Gimpel and the Rote Flüh. However, these are all destinations with alpine hazards, some requiring scrambling or via ferrata, and should only be attempted by experienced mountaineers.

The panorama is worth every effort

From here you can head towards Brentenjoch, but only in top conditions and only if you are sure-footed and have a head for heights.

From the Sabachjoch you have a great view of the Forggen and Bannwaldsee
