View of Hoher Ifen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Look directly at the Ifen. If you are lucky you will discover some chamois. I tried to take pictures, unfortunately my camera is not good enough and you can not see much.

Steep Ascent to Ifen

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

On the rock face there is a place insured with wire ropes, which requires sure-footedness and a head for heights.

Hoher Ifen

Highlight • Summit

The path on the plateau of the Hohen Ifen is quite relaxed. Now it gradually ascends to the summit.

September 5, 2022,Ifen ⛰, Hahnenköpfle ⛰, Gottesacker 😎😎

The high Ifen is a popular tourist mountain, of course... 😂
Therefore a Monday was chosen, but there was still a lot going on up to the summit.
And stupid when the ladies in their summer shoes only find out on the steel cable that the gondola doesn't go all the way to the top... 😆😆
There was a little …

You don't even bring that to the photo, but the landscape of the Gottesacker Plateau is really unique. A barren beauty 😊
Because of the heat, we made the first ascent by train.

It starts from the Auenhütte... Parking ticket 5.00 euros.
1 hour walk to the middle station. Then it goes along normal mountain paths below the Hoher Ifen. From the summit cross the breathtaking karst landscape begins, which is protected. Be careful of rock crevices. Do not climb in fog or snow.
Very dangerous.
Otherwise, you can walk very well if …

From the valley station, set off quite early for the Hahnenköpfle. The first early risers were already coming towards me from the Hoher Ifen, others had already enjoyed their freshly brewed morning coffee on the Hahnenköpfle. Despite this, it was very manageable what was going on on the mountain in anticipation of a hot day.
When you arrive at the …

October 23, 2021,Allgäu: Hahnenköpfle und Gottesacker

Start: Ifen mountain railway
Destination: Hirschegg
Paths: hiking trails, very few dirt roads. When it rains, run counter-clockwise, because between Gottesacker and Hirschegg you only run on slippery stones.
Highlight: A joker has painted smilies on the yellow path markings. Great idea!

Extremely exhausting tour. It took us almost 8 hours. In particular, the church and the descent (muddy, slippery) took a lot of strength and time. The church has something and the views were great. We agree that we prefer to run up rather than down.

July 8, 2026,Wäldele - Gottesackerplateau - Ifenbahn - Wäldele

Beautiful round over stick and stone. You already sweat well in the Wäldele. It goes quite steeply there over rocky and rooty terrain. Up to the saddle then rocky through beautiful high plateaus. Afterwards, continue rocky with the highlight of the Gottesacker.
