The fascination of the Bolgental: A hiking experience in the Allgäu
The mountains are calling! The Allgäu, known for its breathtaking landscapes, offers numerous opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. One of these options is the hike through the Bolgental, a route suitable for both beginners and experienced hikers.
The route
The hike through the Bolgental extends over a distance of 6.2 km. During the entire route you climb around 60 meters and descend almost 650 meters. This makes the hike ideal for those who want to enjoy the beauty of nature without the challenge of steep climbs.
The experience
The hike begins in the Hörnerdörfern, more precisely in Bolsterlang. The first sections of the hike lead along asphalted paths, which later turn into narrow forest paths. These changes between wide and narrow paths provide variety and keep the hike interesting.
A special highlight of the hike are the impressive panoramas that offer hikers. Even when clouds shroud the mountain peaks, the views offer a 100% improvement compared to a foggy morning.
Tips for the hike
To get the most out of this hike, there are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Sturdy footwear is a must, especially after rain as some areas can be slippery.
- To make the climb easier, you can use the Hörnerbahn. This is particularly advantageous as it is included in the Allgäu Walser Card.
- There is a place to stop halfway, ideal for a short break and refreshment.
Conclusion
The hike through the Bolgental offers a mix of wide and narrow paths and impressive panoramas throughout. Although it may not be as spectacular as some other tours, the views and trails found in the upper part of the route are definitely worth the effort.
The Allgäu is waiting to be explored. Pack your hiking boots and experience the beauty of the Bolgental for yourself!
