The Hochbichl hut
also known colloquially as the "Canapée hut" or "Sofa hut" is one of the most famous destinations on the Ofterschwanger Horn!

It owes its nickname to the resourceful host, who never tires of organizing "new" old leather sofas and armchairs that are perfect for sitting on. Have you ever sat on a leather sofa in the sunshine with ski boots and a winter jacket, a cool drink in your hand and let the sun shine on your face? NO? Then it's about time!

The hut with a large children's playground can of course also be reached in summer from the mountain station of the World Cup Express in 20 minutes. An Eldorado for adults and children, guests, summer vacationers and locals!

Fantastic weather is forecast for the mountains this weekend... so let's get going. The autumn colors are beautiful, and we're enjoying the climb (6°C). We hiked the less-traveled version... with a beautiful view of the valley. At the top of the Ofterschwanger Horn summit cross, we had a snack... and a fantastic view of Grünten and the surrounding mountains.

Changeable weather is forecast. Sometimes I'm treated to warm air, then a cold wind blows around the corner, and my jacket has to warm my body again 😕. Some sections are still snowy. The cable cars are no longer running. The Hochbichl Hut was open. In photo 5, you can see the Nagelflur mountain range. The peaks are shrouded in …

A slightly different hike today 😀, my daughters invited me to a mountain breakfast on the Ofterschwanger Horn. We went up with the chairlift to the World Cup hut, after a delicious breakfast then a short hike to the summit of the Ofterschwanger Horn. We borrowed scooters from the mountain railway and we went quickly over asphalt and gravel paths …

Forgot to exit Komoot, it was only about 8.5 km. From the car park at the end of Dorfstraße in Ofterschwang, €400, we hike steeply uphill through the forest in the direction of the Berghotel. From there it goes on asphalt road to the mountain station of the World Cup track. Then it goes on to the Ofterschwanger Horn. An …

With wonderful sunshine 🌞 but very low temperatures (2-4 degrees) to the Ofterschwanger Horn. An easy tour with a bit of fitness. Suitable for MTB 😉
Back down to the valley with the World Cup Express Lift, which is easy on the knees, where we started today's tour at the valley station.
PS. I think the height that Komoot says …
