The Hohe Ifen is one of the most striking mountains in the Allgäu Alps, a real jewel for mountain lovers. 🏔️✨ It is known for its characteristic, almost flat summit plateau, which clearly stands out from the surrounding peaks.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Look directly at the Ifen. If you are lucky you will discover some chamois. I tried to take pictures, unfortunately my camera is not good enough and you can not see much.

Gottesacker Plateau near Hohen Ifen

Highlight • Natural Monument

Fascinating karst landscape that requires sure-footedness when hiking in summer. In winter, there is a comfortable winter hiking trail here, when the jagged rocks have disappeared under a meter-thick layer of snow.

The view here is magnificent in every season.

September 15, 2022,🇦🇹/🇩🇪 Hahenköpfle ✞ - Gottesackerplateau

Today was a special tour!
Not only that it was a great tour over the Gottesacker plateau and the Hahnenköpfle with sightings of ptarmigan and the alpine salamander, no!

Today I made an appointment with @Jan 🤠 via Komoot and he was a great companion, a great mountain guide with local knowledge and a very nice contact with stimulating conversations …

From the valley station, set off quite early for the Hahnenköpfle. The first early risers were already coming towards me from the Hoher Ifen, others had already enjoyed their freshly brewed morning coffee on the Hahnenköpfle. Despite this, it was very manageable what was going on on the mountain in anticipation of a hot day.
When you arrive at the …

October 23, 2021,Allgäu: Hahnenköpfle und Gottesacker

Start: Ifen mountain railway
Destination: Hirschegg
Paths: hiking trails, very few dirt roads. When it rains, run counter-clockwise, because between Gottesacker and Hirschegg you only run on slippery stones.
Highlight: A joker has painted smilies on the yellow path markings. Great idea!

Extremely exhausting tour. It took us almost 8 hours. In particular, the church and the descent (muddy, slippery) took a lot of strength and time. The church has something and the views were great. We agree that we prefer to run up rather than down.

The high Ifen is a popular tourist mountain, of course... 😂
Therefore a Monday was chosen, but there was still a lot going on up to the summit.
And stupid when the ladies in their summer shoes only find out on the steel cable that the gondola doesn't go all the way to the top... 😆😆
There was a little …

A tour that I have wanted to do for years.

If it is foggy or if visibility is poor, you should not be on the plateau. The markings are sparse in places and you can get lost pretty quickly.

The Ifenbahn I offers a little relief on the ascent for the first 300 meters or so. The prices are, however, …

You don't even bring that to the photo, but the landscape of the Gottesacker Plateau is really unique. A barren beauty 😊
Because of the heat, we made the first ascent by train.
