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 Enzensberger Weg is an insider tip in the Allgäu Alps and is in no way inferior to the better-known Heilbronner Höhenweg and Jubiläumsweg. The Enzensberger Weg runs between the Hermann-von-Barth-Hütte - 2,131 metres - and Hinterhornbach. An unjustly forgotten classic through the central part of the Hornbach range in the Allgäu Alps. Doable as a long day tour, recommended with an overnight stay at the Hermann-von-Barth-Hütte.
