July 20, 2024,AL Füssen RW Zirmgratrunde 3

Beautiful partial circular hike, which includes easy climbing passages with occasional views down on this tour (over the Zwölferkopf). Doable for experienced, sure-footed hikers (no guarantee). However, there is an easy parallel route that is usually also routed on Komoot.
The paths are mostly in wooded areas, and there are beautiful viewpoints on the ridge.

March 20, 2023,Burgruine Falkenstein - Salober - Weissenseer Panoramablick (Wanderrunde von Rossmoos)

Today we started in Rossmoos at the parking lot at the Schützenhaus in the direction of Falkenstein. Overcast skies and temperatures of 9 - 12 degrees: that's all Peter offered us today. Thank God it was windless and so ok to walk.
A bit steep, but not strenuous, we went through the forest to the castle and Hotel Falkenstein (closed …

September 2, 2024,Ruine Falkenstein und Zirngrat, länger und mehr als aufgezeichnet

Today was hiking day, and the path led us to the Falkenstein castle ruins. Since we didn't want to hike back the same way, we chose the path over the Zirngrat and the Salober as the descent. Our efforts were rewarded with great views of the Vilstal, the surrounding mountains (which we don't all know by name) and the beautiful …

Hike to the Falkenstein and further over the Zirmgrat to the Saloberalpe (June 27, 2022)

The start was a free parking lot in Roßmoos (at the Schützenhaus). The path to the Falkenstein first leads across meadows and then along gravel forest paths up to the (toll) road that leads from Pfronten-Meilingen to the Falkenstein. From the Falkenstein you have a …

August 24, 2024,Familienrunde Ruine Falkenstein und Saloberalm

Beautiful family tour with a Marian grotto, a ruin on the site of which King Ludwig wanted to build an imposing castle, varied paths and wonderful views including the Vierseenblick.
You can stop off at the Saloberalm (open from Thurs to Sun in 2024, see saloberalm.de).
