How good that the trees on the Schönkahler's head have fallen out. This means that the Allgäu and Tannheim mountains have no chance of hiding from view-seeking eyes.
Easy hike with little difference in altitude to a beautiful panoramic summit. The hike is particularly rewarding in late spring when the crocuses sprout between Pirschling and Schönkahler. Due to its south-facing aspect, it is usually snow-free and sunny in spring and fall. No difficulties along the way and therefore also suitable for children. Refreshments possible at the starting point.
Description:
Enjoy the view of the Tannheimer Tal. This hike always offers a beautiful view. Passing the mountain hotel Zugspitzblick, you enter a forest area where nature is completely untouched. The path to Schönkahler is little frequented, there you will find peace and can briefly forget everyday life.Directions:
Follow the signs to Zugspitzblick from the parking lot. The paved path steadily ascends through Zöblen to Obere Halde. Here is the guesthouse Zugspitzblick. With good visibility, there is a view of the Zugspitze. From here, the path continues on a gravel road. A good forest road, not too steep, takes us further up. Suddenly it levels out and we turn right. Ahead of us stands the mighty Einstein. Immediately after, the signpost points left. Over grass-covered hills, we enter the forest. First slightly uphill, then gently downhill, over two wooden bridges and uphill again, we reach the so-called Alten Hof with the Salzstadel, an old wooden hut. Now it goes uphill again, to Rehbichl and Pirschling. From the plain in front of us, you can see the Pfrontner Alm on the lower right. Up here there are usually some horses grazing in summer. Soon the summit is reached after a moderate climb. Since the Schönkahler is not very high, the view from here is surprising. The return follows the same path. After a short stop at the Zugspitzblick, the last stretch down to Zöblen is soon done.
