Gunzesrieder Ach Gorge Trail

Highlight • Gorge

The hiking trail is designed very diversely, with many roots, rocks, ups and downs… It will certainly not be boring.

However, it is slippery in places when wet.

January 13, 2024,Wanderung Gunzesried - Bärenköpfle - Mittag

Very nice winter hike as the entire route runs on the south side. Always wonderful views of the mountains. Snowshoe hikers have often already been on the trail, so there is no need to re-track.

The hiking trail through the Gunzesrieder Tobel is very beautiful towards the end.

Start at the parking lot -> costs €5.

After rain showers☔️ in the morning, we started our third Allgäu hike ⛰️🎒 of the long weekend, also from the 🚐Gunzesried campsite.

To make the most of the sun, we went to Mittag quite spontaneously today. As it turned out, it was the perfect round trip for that.

From the hiking car park in Gunzesried, we first go a little way through the village and then turn onto an inconspicuous path, heading …

Strong gusts of wind at Bärenköpfl with desert sand in the air. Next time we will not climb the steep mountain road, but the mountain meadows.
Back to Gunzesried via the beautiful Haldertobel.
The Cafe Zenzimilia was a worthwhile end to our hike.

February 4, 2024,Mittag [1451 m] - Bärenköpfle [1463 m]

The starting point was the paid parking lot between Gunzesried and Reute, from there ascent over Alpe Kaser and Alpe Oberberg for lunch. Then continue to the Bärenköpfle (summit, not just the cross). Here it was sheltered from the wind for a short break and much better visibility to the south. Then descend over the front Krumbach Alpe and Alpe …

March 3, 2026,Von Gunzesried aufs Bärenköpfle 🥾🎒🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️⛰️

From the Gunzesried hiking parking lot, we first hiked through the beautiful Haldertobel gorge up to the Oberberg alpine pasture and from there through deep snow. But with only t-shirts on our feet... up to the Bärenköpfle peak 🥵.

From there, we descended back down to Gunzesried, again through snowfields.

A wonderful day in the mountains 🥰⛰️
