Beautiful early spring round through an ice ravine with a lot of water.
Then we went up over the Iberg through paths with lots of views of the mountains.
Simply fantastic today.

We got the tour from a brochure entitled "Eistobel Westallgäuer Wanderwege" and this time we didn't follow the electronic helper, but walked along the "Tour 20" hiking trail with a piece of paper in our hand. The car park is free and you pay a small fee to enter the Eistobel. 6 euros for two adults with the guest card.

Today again in the Allgäu. This tour has been planned for a long time and it is originally from Thomas. From the Grünenbach car park, it goes straight up to the Kugel. There you have a really nice view. The advantage is that it is not that high and that even slightly tired hikers can get up comfortably. Then steeply …

I changed my mind twice, and it seems I was right. First, I wanted to cycle. Then I decided to hike, and along the way, I changed my route to take the sunnier section.

The Eistobel gorge is often crowded in the summer. No wonder, because it's exciting and easy to hike. Now, in late autumn, you're almost alone. The …

... beautiful spring-like 🥾 Easter Monday tour 🐰 at the Eistobel with a companion on a visit to the Allgäu 😎... unfortunately without reward mode, as the guesthouse at the Argental Bridge is already closed and the organic alpine farm "Butterblume" has not yet started the season 😉... even with little water the Eistobel is fascinating.
