The spectacular tunnel path through the Sulzlalmschlucht gorge leads over several artfully carved passages in the bare rock high above the gorge. The illuminated rock breakthroughs repeatedly offer fascinating deep views of the Sulzbach rushing below, as well as an impressive view of the walls of the Klimmspitze. This section of the path combines an original nature experience with impressive architecture and is considered the scenic highlight of the ascent from Stockach.

The end of the Sulztal valley below the Simms-Hütte impresses as an untouched, high-alpine basin, spectacularly framed by the steeply rising massifs of the Wetterspitze and Holzgauer Wetterspitze. Here, the valley floor opens up to a vast, tranquil natural backdrop, where the rushing Sulzbach originates. The imposing 360-degree mountain panorama and the soothing silence make this place a perfect destination for a short rest away from the hustle and bustle.

The Hochvogel panorama from Hinterhornbach is one of the most impressive sights in the entire Lechtal valley. The striking, pyramid-shaped rock formation of the Hochvogel (2,592 m) rises majestically above the tranquil valley head and dominates the entire field of vision. A spectacular photo motif that impressively conveys the alpine wildness of the Allgäu Alps.

The Petersberg Alm (1,296 m) is idyllically nestled in the rear Hornbachtal valley near Hinterhornbach and is considered one of the coziest excursion destinations in the Allgäu and Lechtal Alps. In addition to the extraordinarily warm hospitality, the traditional alpine pasture enchants with tasty Tyrolean home cooking as well as fine homemade cheese and sausage specialties from its own production. Due to its easily accessible location, it is the perfect stop for families, pleasure hikers, and nature lovers.
