Description:
Starting from Tannheim through the romantic district of Berg, then into an untouched wooded area until we reach the foot of the mighty Einstein. An indescribable view awaits you from the summit. Afterwards, we descend to the northern side of the Einstein back into the Engetal.
Directions:The parking lot by the underpass in Tannheim, heading towards the district of Berg, is the starting point of our hike. Eastwards through the district of Berg, with the goal, the Einstein, always in sight, the ascent begins slowly. Following the signage, we cross the road several times, then after passing through a turnstile, continue upwards over pastureland. A "Marterl" hangs on a tree, a memorial to a mountain walker who died in an accident. From here it becomes a bit steeper and the path changes to gravel. Several switchbacks lead upwards. Finally, we have reached the ridge and see the Engetal on the other side. We continue along the mountain ridge towards the summit. Just below the summit it becomes rocky and we pay special attention again. The summit rewards us with a wonderful panoramic view. The descent starts with a short section on the same path along the mountain ridge before it turns left into the Engetal. First, the path leads us over a gravel surface, then over pastureland and finally through wooded areas. A parking lot, where formerly the German customs house stood, is the destination of our hike today. Return to the Tannheimer Tal is either by hiking bus or by private car.
Tip:It should be noted that mountain sports can involve an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparation through endurance sports, appropriate technical training and education as well as personal caution reduce the risk of accidents and dangers. But please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.
