This rather short circular hike delights with a varied mix of open meadows and shady forests – again and again the view opens up and reveals dreamlike vistas. In autumn, the landscape transforms into a colorful mosaic that makes hikers' hearts beat faster.

June 19, 2024,Ausblick vom Gipfel Hochälpele – Hochälpelehütte

Start of the car park (fees apply) Beautiful circular route, first slowly up through the forest, past the chapel and the water buffalo. Then a partly steep section on the forest road to the Hochälpelehütte or the summit cross. Great view 😀 at the top of the summit the path leads down with further viewpoints of Lake Constance and Pfänder. …

When it's not that hot in summer and even a bit cloudy, then it's just the right place for doing small laps. So quickly to the Bödele alone, haven't been there in a long time. The rooty path towards Gschwendtsattel appealed to me, above the Gschwendt Alpe you have a great view. From there I turned around and returned to …

A truly fitting end to the year, filled with good company and a tour bathed in sunshine from beginning to end.

Of course, we escaped the fog and headed straight up to the Bödele, a well-known route that allows for two refreshment stops. The first was at the Hochälpelehütte summit, which we quickly reached from Lank via the dairy. We …
