Heidelbeerkopf

Highlight • Summit

The blueberry head is the middle of the 3 heads, also offers great panoramas but is the only one without a summit cross.😞
It probably got its name from the many blueberries on the entire slope

Falkalpe

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Very beautifully situated alp a little below the Schnippenkopf. Unfortunately, it was not open when we visited (09/2020). Nevertheless, there is a good opportunity for a rest here.

Holla the forest fairy! But there was quite a bit of wind going on. The salami almost blew off our bread! 🌪️🌪️🚶🏼‍♀️🚶

Finally back on the mountain.🥵 And I think I even saw dear @Tanja Alpenzauber and @derKlein plus company on the Schnippenkopf. Can this be? 🤔

Very beautiful, scenic but also strenuous tour with snow. The tour over the three heads is pure delight. You have a wonderful view of Hinang and Schöllang on one side and the Retterschwanger valley on the other.
The start and finish is the car park below the Sonnenklause Hinang.
Attention! There are 4-5 parking spaces directly at the Sonnenklause, but …

September 6, 2022,Heute wurde es dann sportlich und die Höhenmeter 4- stellig....

... on another brilliant tour starting at the Hinanger waterfall up to the Sonnenkopf (the gradients were quite considerable) and further over the Blueberry Head and the Schnippenkopf. The descent then via the Falkenalpe to the Sonnenklause. The rest down through the waterfall we gave each other. Our shuttle picked us up at the Sonnenklause. The weather was also on …

Very nice tour, but the descent is, as so often, a hassle. 🏞️☀️😏
And where have my photos gone? I have added them several times and after a short time they were gone again..

Over the sun heads in imperial weather :-)

From the parking lot below the Sonnenklause we first went in the direction of the Sonnenkopf.
On a bit of tar road and a simple hiking trail, it first goes forward.
After 2.15 KM you leave the chilled path and then go right over a hiking trail (T2) to the Oberallgäu circular …

November 12, 2021,😎In der 🌞 über die Sonnenköpfe😎

In sunny weather a suitable mountain tour ......
what could be better than crossing the sun's heads.
Inspired by @derKlein, we did this afterwork hike again today at T-Shirt Wetter.

True to the fantastic weather, the Sun Heads were a predestined destination.

Beautiful hike over the Sonnenköpfe from the Gasthof Sonnenklause (free parking - get there early!). It's steep, but the scenery is very beautiful. Today was very quiet; I had a longer snack on the Schnippenkopf – all alone. The descent is quite steep, and my knees were a bit sore afterward. 😬
