Nature, outwardly, is still intact. Blooming hay meadows, resting grazing cattle, even regular bus service to the nature reserves (even on Sundays) – what more could you want? However, this year there is/was too little water/snow in the mountains. The water level of Lake Formarien is about 15 meters (!) below what it will be in 2024.

A fantastic viewpoint! I was up there at sunrise and it was fantastic. From the Ravensburger Hut you can get to the top in an hour if you walk quickly. The path is straightforward and no problem with a headlamp.

We took the 707 bus up, which cost €24. We then went around the lake and then walked back to Lech. 18 strenuous kilometers

Beautiful but should only be done in dry weather. The path on the Spullersee side should not be underestimated. There is a real danger of falling.
