View of Hoher Ifen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Look directly at the Ifen. If you are lucky you will discover some chamois. I tried to take pictures, unfortunately my camera is not good enough and you can not see much.

September 15, 2022,🇦🇹/🇩🇪 Hahenköpfle ✞ - Gottesackerplateau

Today was a special tour!
Not only that it was a great tour over the Gottesacker plateau and the Hahnenköpfle with sightings of ptarmigan and the alpine salamander, no!

Today I made an appointment with @Jan 🤠 via Komoot and he was a great companion, a great mountain guide with local knowledge and a very nice contact with stimulating conversations …

Beautiful round over stick and stone. You already sweat well in the Wäldele. It goes quite steeply there over rocky and rooty terrain. Up to the saddle then rocky through beautiful high plateaus. Afterwards, continue rocky with the highlight of the Gottesacker.

From the valley station, set off quite early for the Hahnenköpfle. The first early risers were already coming towards me from the Hoher Ifen, others had already enjoyed their freshly brewed morning coffee on the Hahnenköpfle. Despite this, it was very manageable what was going on on the mountain in anticipation of a hot day.
When you arrive at the …

October 25, 2021,Blick auf den Ifen – Hahnenköpfle Runde von Hirschegg

Extremely exhausting tour. It took us almost 8 hours. In particular, the church and the descent (muddy, slippery) took a lot of strength and time. The church has something and the views were great. We agree that we prefer to run up rather than down.

October 23, 2021,Allgäu: Hahnenköpfle und Gottesacker

Start: Ifen mountain railway
Destination: Hirschegg
Paths: hiking trails, very few dirt roads. When it rains, run counter-clockwise, because between Gottesacker and Hirschegg you only run on slippery stones.
Highlight: A joker has painted smilies on the yellow path markings. Great idea!

September 5, 2022,Ifen ⛰, Hahnenköpfle ⛰, Gottesacker 😎😎

The high Ifen is a popular tourist mountain, of course... 😂
Therefore a Monday was chosen, but there was still a lot going on up to the summit.
And stupid when the ladies in their summer shoes only find out on the steel cable that the gondola doesn't go all the way to the top... 😆😆
There was a little …

July 23, 2023,Wäldele zum Gottesacker am Ifen und wieder runter

Very nice hike, which initially leads through a rocky forest. If you like blueberries and wild strawberries, stay here, the rest goes on 😋. Exciting and sunny, it continues over the Gottesacker to the Ifen. Here you can make a detour to the Austrian Hahnenköpfle, it was too warm for us. As for the descent: It's easy and quick to …
