January 9, 2024,🥨⛰️ Im Allgäu durchs romantische Stillachtal zur Petersalpe

A rather relaxed hike from snack to snack along the babbling Stillach. Be sure to stop at the Petersalpe for a mountain cheese sandwich and later at the Alpsennerei Eschbach for a piece of cake. ;) You can find more tours - including more exciting ones - in the Allgäu here: wanderfolk.de/2020/07/09/allgaeu-wandern

June 4, 2022,Genuss-Tour 》Oberstdorf Einödsbach🍻🧀Petersalpe☕️🍰 durch's Rappenalptal zurück.

Today while hiking, I was the so-called 🐓 in the basket.
Without a bike, we went from the Fellhornbahn car park via Birgsau to Einödsbach.
From the terrace you have a sensational view of the Allgäu triumvirate, Trettach/Mädelegabel/Hochfrorttspitze.
But the terrace also offers many culinary treats 🍖🍳🍰🍻🧀.
When the weather was glorious 🌞🌞, we continued up a somewhat steeper ravine …

September 9, 2025,🇩🇪 Nass im Allgäu☔: Regenfeste Alpe-Runde

Due to the lack of visibility due to the rain, we're hiking in the valley today, as the clouds are already hanging halfway up. We're heading for the Rappenalpbachtal valley—and we've never been there before. Taking line 7 to the final stop, Alpe Eschbach, we follow a paved path through the valley. Along the way, we come across the Buchrainer …
