Zierleseck

Highlight • Viewpoint

The pre-summit to the Rohnenspitze. Quite unspectacular but still very beautiful

Ponten Summit

Highlight • Summit

Much quieter than on the neighboring summit, you can enjoy the view in peace here. The ridge path in both directions is also nice and relaxed to walk.

From the Iseler side, the Bschießer is relatively easy to climb; from the Ponten, it becomes a bit more alpine. Evil tongues claim that the mountain isn't actually more than 2,000 meters high and is therefore a Bscheißer. :D

The Zipfelsalpe has a nice terrace for a snack. Very friendly family!

May 31, 2025,Gratweg auf den Ponten und den Bschieser von Hinterstein

On a hot May 31st, we parked at the hall in Hinterstein and hiked a very steep path toward the Willersalpe. There, we quickly refilled our underestimated drink supplies and then began the veeeery, very steep climb up the Ponten. After 1,000 meters of elevation gain, we reached a wonderful ridge path with views of the mountains and Alpine foothills. …

May 26, 2022,Hoch auf den Ponten(2045m) und Bscheisser(2000m) über Willersalpe und Zirleseck(1870m) zurück nach Hinterstein

Parked as in the last tour in town for €5. Then along the Willersbach to the rustic Willersalpe, which unfortunately only opens from 11 a.m. Made about 560m in 1h. Next we went to Zirleseck (again approx. 320 m), then over the ridge path to Ponten. Thanks Father's Day rel. a lot going on, you have to pull together at …

Something completely different was planned for this weekend. But when you go to bed with stomach problems on Wednesday (my favorite) and then I go to bed on Friday, things turn out differently than you expect. I recovered quickly, too, or so I thought, and so we tackled a tour that had been on my to-do list for a while.

August 5, 2022,~44 P-Hinterstein-Willersalpe-Zirleseck-Bschiesser-Zipfelsalpe-Zipelsbacher Wasserfall-Hinterstein-P

Made a tour again after a long time. The tour went to the Allgäu Alps, which I haven't done a tour there yet.

The tour started in Hinterstein at the parking lot. The day parking ticket costs €10. Valid from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

September 17, 2023,BSCHIEẞER über Zipfelsalpe weiter zum Zirleseck und Willersalpe

A fantastically beautiful tour. From Hinterstein to Zipfelsalpe the climb is easy to walk but very steep with roots and scree.

The tour can easily be extended with a climb to the “Ponten” and/or “Rohnenspitze”. Plus minus 45-60min and approx. 100m

On the Willersalpe there is cheese made in-house. 👍🥾⛰️

June 11, 2022,3-Gipfel-Tour im Allgäu: Bschießer (Bscheißer) 1998 m, Ponten 2045 m und Rohnenspitze 1990 m

Hinterstein -> Zipfelsalpe -> Bschießer (Bscheißer) -> Ponten -> Rohnenspitze -> Zirleseck - Willersalpe -> Hinterstein

After many years again a tour in the Allgäu.

The 2 hiking car parks in Hinterstein may only be used from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and cost EUR 10 (without comment). There are also private (cheaper) parking spaces in town.

August 14, 2025,Ponten- und Bscheissergipfel-Runde von Hinterstein 🥰

Instead of a moderate introductory tour, I let myself be tempted by a brochure last night and pushed the elevation gain away.
Well, my lungs were whistling accordingly 🤪.
I set off at 6:30 a.m. to be at the top when the heat really hit, and it wasn't until just before Zirleseck that a little cloud came over the mountain. …
