Unterjoch: Sorgschrofen circuit - Allgäu Alps

Mega tour. I found it quite adventurous, especially since a long stretch of challenging terrain begins after the rock gate. It is marked T4 on the card. So if you don't have a problem with height and are sure-footed. He can climb through this well. From the very beginning, a nice group accompanied me on the descent and thanks to P., who went in advance, you were able to master all the difficult parts. She had great tips and I was able to learn a lot 😉 Very nice and I find challenging tour

A small, but nice and quite climbing-intensive mountain tour in the Allgäu.

It is a very nice tour, depending on your condition 5-7 hours! Not possible with small children as there are small climbing passages on the transition between Zinken and Sorgschrofen!

🥾 Route: Start is the village car park in Unterjoch (fee required). First, it goes along a tarmac road, then along a wide forest path. In the forest, we follow a small, nice path. Later, it gets a little steeper and the paths narrower. Finally, just before the summit (Zinken), is the entrance to the climbing passage, which is completely secured with a wire rope. Once you get to the top, you have an incredibly beautiful view of the landscape. To get to the Sorgschrofen, you first have to go back down the small climbing passage and then turn left - either you squeeze through a narrow crevice in the rock or take the relaxed path around the outside. The ridge is a little sloping up to the second summit, so really only for people who don't suffer from vertigo. The last few meters of altitude are then secured with a rope again. The descent is a little steep at the beginning (so be careful, especially when it's wet), after which you quickly come back to a forest path, where we met some curious cows. At the end you will pass an Alpe Sorg, where you could stop for a break :)

>> Round trip << Varied round trip. The ascent to the Zinken is an easy via ferrata passage (which, however, can be climbed well unsecured). On the way to the Sorgschrofen you hike along the ridge for a while. Down in the village (Unterjoch) there is a very good baker.

A beautiful tour with wonderful views, but the last 20-50m from the rock gate to the summit cross of the Sorgschrofen are very, very steep and are not suitable for dogs, especially for dogs over 15kg. Despite the rope safety, there are hardly any steps for you and the dog to climb up safely. The descent on the other side is also not without danger, but a little easier.

Motto: Tipple BBB beer belly barrier (Picture 11.18.19) According to a legend, transmitted by my great-grandfather, whose daughter, her friend Cousins, told that the subjugators were ahead of their time in the Middle Ages👆. At that time, the women had the right to have their marriage terminated without notice if the man should no longer fit through this column (Fig. 11,18,19) because of his beer belly, in addition they received an Amazon voucher of 10 Thalers and a flight as compensation to Malle🤪🤣😝😛 From the parking lot at Unterjoch via a longer road to the ascent to the Zinken⛰️, from there it went serpentine-like through forest and meadows to the Zinken⛰️ summit. Continue through the crevice (can also be hiked around) to Sorgschorfen⛰️, there are also some beautiful little climbing passages, but it is secured on the side. Up there you have an all-round view😍, through the high fog it was particularly interesting🤩. A bit smudgy downhill, but it was still OK. By a long forest path back to the parking lot. Very nice tour, where everything is actually included👍, the middle third (above) is of course the icing on the cake. Mountaineering for beginners💪👍

Beautiful, strenuous tour, the transition from Sorgschrofen to Zinken is only for the experienced and for those who like to climb.
