It is recommended to use the rope insurance in any case, otherwise the path, which is otherwise easy to walk, could encourage carelessness.

Great hike, but unfortunately, the trail continues on asphalt and gravel towards the Oytalhaus. Due to the rain during the night, the beginning was incredibly slippery, and we were close to giving up. But somehow we persevered. A few nice little scrambles (mostly with crampons), relaxing marmots, and great views were the reward! Wear sturdy shoes, please! A head for …

My mountain tour leads from the Höfatsblick mountain station on the most beautiful high-altitude trails over the Laufbacher Eck to the Himmelecksattel, then over the Himmeleck up to the two Schneck peaks and is suitable for mountaineers in good physical condition.

The tour on the Schneck is an absolute experience.

A wonderful tour, which - at least as far as the Laufbacher Eck-Weg is concerned - is only recommended in dry weather .. Panoramic views of various forms of mountain folds, crisp ascents and descents, rope passages, gravel paths and, at the end, a lot of downhill .. But it was great 😊👌
The path through the Oytal is beautiful …

The really difficult parts …

Wow, what a promising tour. I'm excited. I started at 09:00 a.m. at the Nebelhorn station Höfatsblick. At first I was a bit unsure because the paths were still very wet and slippery. But as I walked, I gained confidence. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are required in any case. There are steps and ropes in the really difficult …
