The magic of the Oytal: A hiking paradise in the heart of the Allgäu
The Oytal, a picturesque valley in the Allgäu, offers an impressive backdrop for all hiking lovers. Surrounded by the majestic Allgäu Alps, this valley offers a unique combination of breathtaking nature and exciting hiking trails.
The beginning of the journey: Oberstdorf
The hike begins at the Nebelhornbahn car park in Oberstdorf. From here, signs lead deep into the valley. The Oytal stretches for about ten kilometers and offers a flat route to the end of the valley. A constant companion on this journey is the mountain river, which winds its way through the entire valley.
The beauty of the Allgäu Alps
The Oytal is surrounded by the spectacular Allgäu Alps. These mountains are not only a feast for the eyes, but also a habitat for numerous rare animals and plants. Especially in spring and summer, the mountain river is fed by cascading waterfalls caused by the melting snow.
A paradise for families
The Oytal is a magnet for families and hikers. There are numerous places to stop for refreshments along the route, making it an ideal place for a break. A special highlight is the Stumme Fall, the largest waterfall in the Oytal. After about an hour and a half you reach this impressive natural spectacle.
The Höfats: An impressive peak
The Höfats is one of the most impressive peaks in the Allgäu Alps. At a height of 2259 meters, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area. But be careful, this peak is not suitable for beginners. The steep, grassy slopes are extremely dangerous to climb.
The way back: A relaxing conclusion
After exploring the Oytal and the surrounding peaks, the path leads back to Oberstdorf. The way back offers another opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the valley and the freshness of the mountain river. After a refreshing break in the Wittelsbacher Hut, it's only a short way back to the starting point.
The Oytal in the Allgäu is undoubtedly a hiking paradise. With its breathtaking landscape, impressive peaks and scenic hiking trails, it offers an unforgettable experience for all nature and hiking lovers.
