August 23, 2022,D-87534 Hinterstaufen Hündlekopf-Buchenegger Wasserfälle-Bad Rain

Today, after a long time, there was another beautiful hike. The start was in Hinterstaufen at the valley station of the Hündle Bahn.
First we climbed the mountain steeply on a paved hiking trail to the mountain station of the railway.
Then the path continued to the 1112m high Hündlekopf. From here you can enjoy a fantastic view.
It then …

We decided at short notice yesterday to go to the Allgäu. My wife searched and found something. No rain and hopefully tick-free area.
The drive to the valley station of the Hündlebahn suited me perfectly due to the early shift of the last few days.
The first 75 minutes of parking in the car park are free, otherwise a €5 …

Today is a shorter tour again. Therefore a little faster. At the waterfall you can extend the tour by walking back via Steibis. Then it is about 8 km longer.

After a 🤧 break, I felt an urgent need for a little mountain air and therefore made a leisurely tour of the Hündle summit with a detour to the Buchenegger waterfalls! You can park for free in the Hündlebahn car park.

Thanks to @Tanja Alpenzauber for the inspiration

Today was the 300th tour with komoot. Since the weather didn't offer the best distant views and there was rain at the beginning, we took the cable car up to Hündle. After a hot drink, we set off for a leisurely round. Past the summit cross, we then went straight down into the valley towards the Buchenegger Waterfalls. It's nice …

At 8 a.m. we were almost alone at the free parking lot of the Hündlebahn where our hike to the waterfalls began. We walked the beautiful route all by ourselves to the waterfall, which we could enjoy alone 🤩😍. Only when we went back in the direction of the Hündlekopf did a number of other hikers come towards us. At …
