Waterfall in Naturpark Nagelfluhkette

Highlight • Waterfall

In the summer months, the ravine dries up more and more frequently, then the expected waterfall is just a collection of rock and stone.

May 26, 2022,Gratwanderung zum Girenkopf und Heidenkopf

Great, promising tour. Started in Balderschwang, it goes steeply up from the deer enclosure towards the summit. About an hour beforehand, a sign warns about the upcoming passage with alpine danger and absolute surefootedness and a head for heights. We've already done the tour the other way around, but had to break it off between Girenkopf and Heidekopf because I …

So, now it's time. Short vacation. Finally back in the Allgäu. Arrive, have coffee and cake, throw your bag in the closet and head out. Moderate tour to start with. With an indescribably beautiful view of the mountain landscape. Not a soul, no cars, no noise. Just the mountain and me. From about km 3.5 the fantastic section with mountain …

May 26, 2024,Balderschwang: Siplinger Kopf - Girenkopf

In perfect hiking weather, after a short walk in Balderschwang, we went up to the Siplinger Kopf and the Girenkopf. In addition to coping with the height, the challenge was also the occasional climb in or through the Nagelfluh (always secured with a steel cable). The view was very beautiful, in the north the "Nagelfluhkette" (Stuiben, Rindalphorn, Hochgrat etc.) and …

Parking on the road, €5.50 fee.
A bit steep at first. Suitable for younger children up to the game reserve. After that, the trail becomes more challenging. There are plenty of blueberries just before the Spicherhalde Alp.
At Spicherhalde, there's a refrigerator with drinks and cheese. Some animals wander around there very leisurely. Then the descent is quite long. The …

August 12, 2022,Wanderung fast bis zum Siplingerkopf

Unfortunately, the way to the Siblingerkopf was not possible as originally planned. From the alp was closed due to construction work. Due to a lack of time and motivation on the part of the accompanying persons, we turned around and found a connection to the original route again.
