The fascinating family hike to Huhnenberg and the Alpkönig view

The mountains are calling! And what could be better than exploring the majestic beauty of the mountains with the whole family? A hike that is suitable for both adults and children leads to Huhnenberg and the impressive Alpkönig-Blick observation tower in the Allgäu Alps.

An ideal starting point

The hike begins in a small town, surrounded by the picturesque landscape of the Allgäu Alps. As you follow the Oberallgäu circular hiking trail, you pass traditional farmhouses and soon dive into the dense forest. The path leads along forest paths that occasionally offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

A path for the whole family

Although parts of the trail, particularly the snowy sections, require some caution, overall the hike is family friendly and requires no special equipment. The Huhnenberg, although only 1245 meters high, always offers wonderful views that more than make up for the effort of the climb.

The summit of Weizenberg

After you reach the densely forested ridge, the view opens up. Although you are still below the tree line, the summit of the Hülsenberg offers a clear view of the surrounding landscape. The snow that covers the peak sparkles in the sunlight, giving the surroundings a magical atmosphere.

The Alpkönig View: A viewing tower with panoramic views

After the summit of Huhnenberg, we continue to the Alpkönig-Blick, a viewing tower that offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the Allgäu Alps. From here you can see from the depths of Lake Constance to the majestic Zugspitze. The tower's viewing platform offers unparalleled views of the surrounding mountains, including the Howoge, the Rote Spitze and the Längenkopf.

Conclusion

The hike to Huhnenberg and the Alpkönig-Blick is an unforgettable experience for the whole family. The impressive landscape of the Allgäu Alps, combined with the easy accessibility of the path, makes this hike an ideal excursion destination.
