Riverside Trail in Naturpark Nagelfluhkette

Highlight • Trail

Nice path right along the river. I thought you would hear the cars on the road more, but that's not the case. 👍

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

You walk here on paths and lush green meadows slowly into rugged rocks. The path moves ever steeper up to Siplinger Kopf through a wonderful nature.

Ridge Trail Behind Siplinger Kopf

Highlight • Trail

Behind the Siplinger head you run along the ridge on partly very narrow, slightly exposed paths. But when the weather is nice, it's fantastic!

After we briefly decided to go to the Allgäu for three more days, we did this tour as soon as we arrived. A path/road leads directly from the accommodation up to the 1746 m high Siplingerkopf. A large part of the route is on a paved mountain road that is rarely used. The panoramic view compensates for the boring way. …

Very nice tightrope walk over Nagelfluh rock. Sometimes a bit exposed, a few climbing spots with rope insurance. Easy to walk in dry weather and appropriate footwear. When it's wet there are a few spots that become dangerous. The view in all directions is magnificent!

I would recommend everyone to walk around the loop like this because you don't have to climb down between the rocks. So it's really doable. There are many narrow paths up the ridge between the two peaks.

An afternoon tour starting and ending in Balderschwang. It should be the Siplinger Kopf... and finally saw the waterfall via the Höhenweg from Balderschwang.
