The gliding path sounds less dangerous than it is: on one of the most demanding ascents and descents in the Allgäu Alps, you will find many exposed sections secured with steel cables. But your courage will be rewarded, because the path through the Oytal to the idyllic Seealpsee is also…

Oytal Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The path through the Oytal is one of the classics in Oberstdorf and is correspondingly well attended. But still worth it because it's really beautiful.

Gleitweg Trail (Allgäu High Alps)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The glide path is beautiful in the ascent and descent, but challenging! The southern slope is partly very steep and exposed. The most difficult places are secured; better leave it in the wet, snow and rain.

June 15, 2023,vom Nebelhorn über den Seealpsee ins Oytal (Gleitweg)

My 2nd tour today: 💪
So I quickly made my way from the Edmund Probst Haus in the direction of the Seealpsee (the classic in the Nebelhorn area)... Lots of people on the way who of course also wanted to take a look at this emerald-green lake. I crossed 2 harmless fields of snow and was soon on my own. …

A great but demanding tour. The hike leads over narrow paths on the gliding path in the direction of the Nebelhorn.

There are some small climbing passages, some of which are marked with wire ropes.

It's also worth looking back, the view of the Oytal and the Höfats is breathtaking.

After the Lechweg it was still not over for Lisa, Janna and me. Now that we had warmed up to some extent, we headed back to Füssen in the Allgäu. A few more stages of the Allgäu hiking trilogy were on the program. The three hiking routes "meadow walkers", "water runners" and "sky strikers" lead through the different landscapes of …

Due to a lack of battery, the entire tour is not recorded. From the Seealpsee we went uphill to the train station and the Edmund-Probst-Haus. From there we took the direct route, under the cable car cables, back to Oberstdorf.
The tour is also very nice when it rains, the landscape then looks very mystical.

Hello Hello,
we went up with the Nebelhornbahn today 🚆. Our tour started at the Höfats mountain station. Originally we wanted to go to the Gaisalpseen - but since we were a little late in time, we spontaneously rescheduled 🤷‍♂️ and first descended to the Seealpsee. From there we went down the Oytal-Gleitweg into the Oytal to the mountain inn …

On the last day there was another decent descent from the Nebelhorn down over the glide path into the Oytal. Not an easy matter because of the rain last night, but we all got down safely.
Overall, the weather was a dream, couldn't have been better.

We took the opposite route to our original plan. There was less rain on the steep glide path down to the Oytal valley, which reduced the glide 😊.

We chose this route because we wanted to climb the Nebelhorn... but we just wanted to. The path along the beautiful Oybach ends at the junction with the Dr. Hohenadl path and is diverted onto Oytalstrasse. The detour makes the route to the Oytalhaus mountain inn 3 km longer. From Oytalstrasse onwards
