Steineberg Cliff Trail

Highlight • Trail

Imposing and high rock face with a small hiking trail. The abyss is quite deep - a head for heights and surefootedness are important, then it is not dangerous.

September 21, 2021,Allgäu – Runde von Gunzesried über Sederer (1737 m), Stuiben (1750 m) und Steineberg (1683 m)

Steep, varied ascent to the ridge, wonderful ridge hike with some rope-secured climbing passages to striking peaks.

We park our car at the Säge hiking car park, where the day ticket costs € 6.
