Beautifully located old mountain village on the driveway to Alpe Dietersbach. Here you can eat hearty and enjoy a fantastic view. On Wednesday, the restaurant is closed.

View of the Oytal Valley and Oybach

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Oberstdorf steeply up to the Kühberg, from there a very beautiful, relatively easy but long asphalt path begins to the Oytalhaus. Then an unpaved, relatively flat path begins up …

Stuibenfall (Oytal)

Highlight • Waterfall

Stuibenfall is certainly not here directly at the Käseralpe but a few bends forward ... Wrong position marks heroes.

August 25, 2025,Grandioser Ausblick – Blick ins Oytal mit Oybach Runde von Oberstdorf

Unfortunately, due to the incline and the trailer attached to the bike, I didn't make it to the waterfall. But it was still a nice tour, albeit with a slight detour from Christlesee.

Some parked their bikes and hiked up. Those with electric bikes, of course, rode up.

September 8, 2025,Fahrradtour Käseralpe, Gerstruben und Oberau Sennalpe

Through the Oytal valley up to the Käseralpe, the last stretch challenging and partly graveled. Again through pastures and past a waterfall. Then back and swing into the Trettach valley, where we made a detour up (it was really uphill 😬 but paved) to the Gerstruben mountain inn. There, we still find impressive old mountain huts and a plague chapel. …

A fantastic e-bike tour in the mountains. We had to go up to the Qytal in beautiful sunshine. Past the Qyhaus, Gutenalpe and then to the Stuibenfall. Now we just had to go, VERY HARD, to the Käseralpe. Relax and go back to OBD

Great circular tour through 4 valleys. Oytal, Trettachtal, Stillachtal and small Walsertal. The paths are great to ride and offer a great view. There are countless alpine pastures that invite you to stop for a break. For me, this tour is very special. A clear 1+++++
I can only recommend it!!!!!

August 8, 2023,🌟 Tolle Radtour von Oberstdorf zur Spielmannsau und ins Oytal

After days of continuous rain, the sun finally shone today 🌞 and so nothing stood in the way of a bike ride.

I can really recommend this tour. On scenic and easily passable paths, it goes into two of Oberstdorf's side valleys. First we drove to Spielmannsau, where we made a stop in the rustic and great Alpe Oberau. After …

August 30, 2026,🚲 durch das Oytal hinauf zur Käseralpe

While my B. has to spare her battered joints today, I am undertaking a beautiful, but also challenging tour through the Oytal.

At the end of the valley, there is a long and extremely steep ascent with often well over 15% to overcome if you want to reach the Käseralpe, which is located high up in the valley floor. My …
