The fascinating mountains of the Allgäu: A hike to Aggenstein

The Allgäu, known for its picturesque landscapes, offers hikers and nature lovers unique experiences. One of the most impressive tours leads to Aggenstein, an almost 2000 meter high peak that beckons with its majestic appearance and breathtaking views.

The beginning: Through the Reichenbachklamm

The hike begins in an idyllic setting, where the sound of the water and the cool shade of the forest welcome hikers. The Reichenbachklamm, known for its impressive waterfalls, offers a fairytale scenario that makes the first steps of the tour an unforgettable experience.

The challenge: The climb to Aggenstein

After you have left the gorge behind you, the view opens up to the impressive Aggenstein. The path there is lined with picturesque alpine meadows decorated with a variety of colorful flowers. But the real test for hikers begins with the steep climb to the “Bösen Tritt”. Despite the effort, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view over the valley.

A short stop: The Bad Kissinger Hütte

Before you reach the summit, the Bad Kissinger Hut offers a welcome break. This mountain hut, which seems to float on the rock face, is not only a place to rest, but also a vantage point from which you can admire the surrounding mountains.

The summit: A 360 degree view over the Allgäu

The last section of the climb requires surefootedness and courage, as some places are equipped with wire rope insurance. But the effort is worth it. Once at the top, Aggenstein offers a 360-degree view over the Allgäu Alps, the Tannheimer Valley and even as far as the Wetterstein massif. An unforgettable experience that shows the beauty of nature in all its glory.

The Descent: A Different Viewpoint

The way down offers a different perspective on the landscape and is just as impressive as the climb. The steep paths and rock formations offer an adventure in themselves before you finally return to civilization.

The Allgäu with its mountains, valleys and picturesque landscapes is a paradise for hikers. A tour to Aggenstein is just one of many adventures that await outdoor enthusiasts in this region.
