Description

    From the Höfener Alm, it is only a few steps to the Hahnenkamm cable car mountain station. You have the choice: either comfortably take the gondola down to the valley or descend on foot via the trail or forest path. Afterward, the hike takes you from Höfen along the Lech River, through the picturesque floodplain forest area, and past the bird tower in Pflach to the train station in Reutte. Reaching this final destination completes your four-day hiking adventure in the Tannheimer Mountains.
