Hammock Rest Area in the Forest

Highlight • Rest Area

Just hang out. This is exactly possible here! You also enjoy the beautiful sound of the forest. Who needs palm trees and the sea? ;)

Magnificent woodland on the Black Ridge

Highlight • Trail

Extensive forests surround the Schwarzer Grat. Directly near the summit, you hike through a lush green forest that repeatedly offers views of the Allgäu region. The partially exposed roots are particularly impressive.
