Kenzenhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Great starting point for hikes! The hut is run by two sisters and you are warmly welcomed. The rooms are clean, the breakfast is delicious and the beer is great: berggasthof-kenzenhuette.de.

Rocky Landscape on the Way to Hochplatte

Highlight • Natural Monument

If you do the loop, you will pass through a field full of mountain pines on the way back, on a sunny day a super invigorating, good smelling experience

Both the hike (from the Ammerwaldalm) and the ridge path are great sections. The views from the summit are hard to beat - no idea how many peaks you can see here. The Allgäu Alps are in the southwest. To the southeast you look at the Zugspitze, which rises behind the vulture heads. The Plansee looks out like a fjord. To the northwest lies the Forggensee far below. In short - the Hochplatte is a very worthwhile destination!

Fensterl Rock Arch

Highlight • Natural Monument

Crazy view through the window. Surefootedness is required, otherwise you can quickly get away from the window (l). The name is program.

Kenzensattel

Highlight • Mountain Pass

From the saddle you have a great view of the Geiselstein, which impresses with a mighty summit structure. The summit of the Kenzenkopf is only a few minutes away from here.

Finally mountains again ⛰️! It's been way too long. Now it should be the high plate again. I have already done the tour in a slightly shorter version, but unfortunately completely in clouds and drizzle. And that on a tour that promised a fantastic view of the grad! 😬
But now let's go: In the morning at 6 it started …
