Tegelbergbahn valley station

Highlight • Rest Area

Since the two huts are close together, you could have a snack in the first hut and then coffee and cake in the second, then you are really well fortified for the descent.

Schutzengelweg (Guardian Angel Trail)

Highlight • Trail

Great hiking trail from the Tegelbahn valley station to the Rohrkopfhütte and even further. Gravel, stone and root path. If you don't want to walk the loops, you can shorten them at any time. Over cow pastures 🐂🐄 and along the Rautbach beautifully 🤗

Tegelbergsteig Via Ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A relatively long and therefore somewhat strenuous climb with difficulty levels up to C. Mostly B or B/C, with category C in several flat sections. Very popular and therefore also scaled down in some sections. A nice entry point is provided via the ladder that branches off from the Gelbe Wand trail. In good weather, you'll need to allow plenty of time due to the crowds and the associated waiting times (in our case, the entire tour from the valley station to the summit station took six hours).

July 1, 2023,Űber den Klettersteig zum Tegelberggipfel und űber die Rohrkopfhűtte wieder Zurück

I needed 3 hours up. Then I missed the last cable car by 10 minutes and was able to descend via the Rohrkopfhűtte😖🙈

Get to know a super nice tour to go to the via ferrata, the rope bridge is a special highlight. In wet weather, it is advisable to always secure yourself with the via ferrata set, even if it is only an A climb. The descent to the parking lot is always very nice as you can see the locks from …

😃 A leisurely ascent of the Tegelbergsteig, 🤩without any traffic jams!!!

At the exit of the Tegelbergsteig, we got a light rain 🌧️, and then a brief and heavy sleet ❄️ just before the 🔸Branderschrofen, but overall it stayed dry 😃.

... and to round off the tour, a so-called Rohrkopfschmarren (a kind of pancake) at the Rohrkopfhütte (more on that in my tip for the Rohrkopfhütte).
I certainly deserve it after the Tegelbergsteig and the Branderschrofen, because after all that, I'm starting to get hungry.

August 25, 2025,Branderschrofen über Gelbe Wand Klettersteig

It's been on my list for a long time, and finally, it's finally happened.
Early in the morning, my husband and I set off from the Tegelberg parking lot (€5.00 day ticket) (the free parking lot at the Drehhütte is about 25 minutes away, by the way).
Since I'd heard mixed opinions about the Gelbe Wand via ferrata, I wasn't …

October 17, 2023,Bergtour Branderschrofen und weitere mit KS Bahn Reutte

I actually wanted to do my first tour with more than 2000m today. This project was already completed in the morning because I didn't get out of bed at 5:30 a.m. ;:).

Change of plan: Same area but normal tour with via ferrata and 3 peaks => Branderschrofen with Tegelberg via ferrata
