ヴァルテンホーフェンの峠・トップ1

Great hiking trail in the middle of nature

I also cycled from Wiggenbach once in winter. Before you go, find out what the Kürnachtal valley looks like and when it last snowed. My ride into the Kürnachtal valley was already a bit of a challenge because it's steep and the stream keeps getting colder. I enjoy the cold in summer and have been here several times.

nice view for founding...

a bit icy but if you are good on your feet you won't have any problems

Huge respect to all those who storm the summit without electric assistance, especially from the Kürnachtal Valley. The route from Wiggensbach is only briefly 17% steep; the descent into the Kürnachtal Valley is breathtaking, and the landscape along the stream toward Wegscheidel is magnificent. I'll be back in summer 2025 because, two days after the snowfall in December 2024, there were still small patches of snow on the road. I was a bit nervous on the descent because it was also getting much colder. Before you plan to drive in winter, check the snow conditions on the road to be on the safe side. Even if it's green in Wiggensbach, the shady road could be covered in snow.

The Grünten, also known as the “Guardian of the Allgäu”, is a very distinctive mountain. It is located near the communities of Rettenberg and Burgberg in the Allgäu. With a height of 1738 meters, the Grünten is not a particularly high mountain, but due to its isolated location it offers impressive views and is a popular destination. There are mountain bike routes around the mountain. The Grünten also has cultural and historical significance for the region, which makes it a special symbol of the Allgäu.

From here you can enter the gorge from above
