ホーフェンのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

So well-equipped, a dream for a stay or a relaxing holiday. A visit that's definitely worth it!

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)

The Black Route provides a quick way to reach the Schneidspitze (2009 m) from the Hochjoch (1754 m). The trail is graded T4 throughout, very steep, and has a lot of gravel/scree in the upper section. Especially in wet conditions, slippery terrain is extremely dangerous. I definitely recommend using walking sticks on this section when ascending or descending!

Beautiful view, challenging hike

An interesting mountain with a great view. From Gaicht, it's a relatively steep ascent and descent. If you go over the Schneetal Alm and over the Hahnenkamm, you'll have a good bit of climbing to do. However, the entire route is supported by steel cables and, at one point, has steel steps.

The climb is rewarded with a fabulous panoramic view!
