Schlossbächel valley

Highlight • Trail

Extremely many stairs. It was definitely too many for me. The path is not for me. I prefer to walk uphill. Still beautiful scenery around the waterfall and waterway

Kappeler Alp

Highlight • Mountain Hut

If you come like us at the unserviced time, you have the opportunity to buy drinks from a machine. Highly recommended 👍

The summit cross is located just a few meters from the Kappeler Alp. From there, you have a wonderful view. You can also take a break there. At the Kappeler Alp, you can fortify yourself with delicious food and enjoy the view on the large terrace.

A really great tour, with beautiful views back to the Allgäu and ahead to the Alps! The climb is also huge, with 800 meters of elevation in one go, and therefore not suitable for everyone. But the views, streams and waterfalls make up for the exertion!

Short trip to the Allgäu ☺️
Beautiful, lonely snow circuit over the Höllschlucht to the Kappeler Alp and back down via the Wurzelsteig and Wasserfallweg.
Most of the paths snow-covered and untouched 🥰
All good to walk, only down the root path Grödel are recommended.

The hike from Nesselwang to Kappeler Alp (approx. 1,340 m) is a popular, moderately difficult mountain hike. The path leads along the waterfall trail, through mountain forest and offers beautiful views, but requires good basic fitness, often with approx. 480 meters of altitude to overcome.
Root paths, switchbacks and constructed stairs.
From the Alp, you can reach the Alpspitze (1,575 …
