Description:
Through the beautiful Stuibental past the Wannenjoch into the Ostrach valley to the Zipfelsalpe. Enjoy the wonderful flora and fauna along the entire route. Behind us lies probably the most beautiful high valley in Europe and in front of us spectacular mountain peaks. Behind these lies the neighboring Allgäu. Views and impressions say more than a thousand words. Look forward to a wonderfully beautiful natural scenery.
Directions:From the lift parking lot in Schattwald, head east, past the Kneipp facility, over a small bridge and turn right uphill. The gravel forest road leads nicely through the forest via the Stuibental. At the Lower Stuiben Alpe (no hut) turn right, continue into the basin and ascend to the saddle. A beautiful high plateau with the ruin of the Upper Stuiben unfolds before the viewer's eyes. From here it goes slightly downhill to the Zipfelsalpe. The return route runs along the eastern flank of the Wannenjoch. Moderately steep, it first goes uphill, then downhill to the mountain station of the Wannenjochbahn. Here in Stube 15.60, as well as at the Zipfelsalpe, there is the possibility to stop for refreshments. The descent runs partly along the hiking trail on the ski slope, then on a forest road through the forest towards Stuibental, almost to the valley station of the Stuiben lift. To the left, downwards towards Schattwald, the path leads back to the starting point. It is possible to take the chairlift for the ascent or descent and to reach the Zipfelsalpe from the mountain station with a slight ascent and descent.
Tip:Enjoy the stop at the Zipfelsalm or Stube 15.60.
