Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

The Heilbronner Höhenweg is now over 100 years old, but its popularity remains unbroken. On the one hand, three of the most beautiful huts in the Allgäu - the Rappenseehütte, Waltenberger Haus and Kemptner Hütte - are located along the way, and on the other, the scenery is simply unique.
Sure-footedness and a head for heights are prerequisites for this alpine high-altitude trail!
