View of Forggensee and Bannwaldsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The best view of the two lakes is on a hike to the Dreh- and Rohrkopfhütte or from the Fischersteig, that is the path between the Schwan and Alpsee.

Fantastic view down the ski slope. There is also a hiking trail here as a quick alternative to the Schutzengelweg, but it is painfully steep in both directions.

January 27, 2024,Schwangau 👣 über den Kälberwäldleweg zum Schutzengelpfad und zur Rohrkopf-Hütte (1320 Meter NN)

Today there was sun 🌞 to be expected and so we 🐕‍🦺👩‍🌾 were once again drawn to the Allgäu ⛰️ mountains in Schwangau. We hiked along the steep Kälberwäldlerweg to the Guardian Angel 👼 path into the first ❄️snowfields, which were like clouds ☁️at around 1,000 meters in altitude. Above 1,000 meters you can get to it via direct access …

In ideal temperatures, beginner's tour of the Drehhütte and Rohrkopfhütte once again. First beer at the Drehhütte, then coffee and cake at the Rohrkopf in brilliant sunshine. Great view, you don't want to get up. It doesn't get any better than that!

January 24, 2022,Rohrkopfhütte 🏔 über Schutzengelweg😇

Today it finally happened. Still foggy in the morning and minus 5 degrees, but it was foreseeable that it would be really good. Started at the lower revolving hut parking lot. Chose the ascent via the Schutzengelweg. It really had it all, snow that had been trodden on or skied by touring skis, sometimes as smooth as glass, especially on …

Start from the free parking lot!

Nice tour with very few sandal tourists despite the high season. (Luckily, everyone is on the castle tour 🙈)
Very good food in both huts and excellent service 👍👏

September 27, 2021,Wanderung zur Drehhütte und Rohrkopfhütte

Today again the Drehhütte and Rohrkopfhütte via the Schutzengelweg back to the parking lot.
I parked at the designated hiking parking lot behind Schwangau.
Then it goes uphill to the Rohrkopfhütte in beautiful autumn weather.
I did not visit the turning hut.
At the Rohrkopfhütte I take a break for lunch in a sunny spot.
There are just great views …

For me a very strenuous winter hike. The weather with the bright midday sun ☀️ ... Simply wonderful. The lungs are totally free and so am I.

November 10, 2021,über Rohrkopfhütte auf den Tegelberg über Drehhütte zurück

A wonderful autumn / winter day. Started in great colorful autumn weather. Above the Rohrkopfhütte there is partly ice and a lot of snow. Unfortunately none of the huts is open, despite positive information from the www. Too bad. No retreat was possible. The view and weather just great.
