The summit of the Nebelhorn is usually crowded with people for the obligatory photo with the summit cross at 2,224 m. When there's no fog, there's a fantastic panoramic view! 😄

The lake can be reached from the Höfatsblick station of the Nebelhornbahn via the Zeigersattel in about 1 hour. In order to continue hiking over the Laufbacher Eck, the short climb to the Zeigersattel must be conquered again. Alternatively, there is the descent via the so-called glide path down to the Oytalhaus. There are some wire rope safety devices attached here. The descent as well as the path over the Laufbacher Eck requires absolute surefootedness, a head for heights and the necessary footwear (ankle-high mountain boots with good tread soles).

Once you have reached the mountain station with the Nebelhorn cable car, you should definitely climb the few meters to the 2224 meter high summit. You will be rewarded (in good weather) with a fabulous view of the 400 surrounding mountain peaks!!! https://www.alpen-panoramen.de/panorama.php?pid=2954
