The summit cross is located on the rocky section of the Alpspitz. From here, there is a wonderful view. On the back of the cross is a beautiful plaque depicting Mary with Child. On the front, there is a container with the summit register. Today, on my way down to the west, I even spotted some chamois below the Alpspitz.

The steep gravel path up is torture, but the view is worth it.

Breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the valley. A truly royal feeling! 😉 From the complex there is a great view of the Vilstal valley below and the peaks of the Tannheimer group.

The 1838 meter high Breitenberg near Pfronten is a relatively easy mountain to climb, and from the summit it offers a beautiful view down into the Allgäu. Several paths of varying steepness lead up in 2 - 2.5 hours, a complete crossing takes about 5 hours. An easy and long path starts on the west side north of the German-Austrian border. It is even easier to take the cable car to the saddle between Breitenberg and Aggenstein. The Ostlerhütte is right on the summit. On the steep north side is the Tirolerstadl and behind it a challenging path to the summit. In winter there is a ski area on the Breitenberg. Source: https://allgaeu-erleben.com/0404-breitenberg.php

The Zirmgrat is certainly the most beautiful route to the Falkenstein castle ruins - the highest castle in Germany at 1277 meters. King Ludwig II even wanted to build another fairytale castle on the site, which offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Allgäu Alps and the Alpine foothills. His father Maximilian I had already passed through here on his journey on what is now the "Maximiliansweg" from Lindau to Berchtesgaden.
