At the end of the street (Nebelhornstraße 67C) is the valley station of the Nebelhornbahn. Already from the parking lots there and the terraces of the cafés (like the Café Restaurant Bergblick) you look directly up the steep grassy slopes of the Schattenberg and the cable car routes.

The Nebelhornstraße in Oberstdorf (Allgäu) offers the best view of the mighty Nebelhorn as well as the striking Rubihorn, if you turn your gaze upwards and towards the east.
