May 29, 2025,Durch das Derratal über die mittlere Spitalalpe– Kleinwalsertal

The weather forecast prompted a relatively short decision in favor of Kleinwalsertal. To start, we started with a somewhat shorter loop from Baad through the Derratal and back over the middle Spitalalpe. The hike still had some elevation gain, but it was quite leisurely, with no time pressure and including a relaxing stop at the middle Spitalalpe. There, we were …

May 29, 2025,Alpwanderung durch das Derratal – Kleinwalsertal

My first day in Kleinwalsertal, Austria. It was cloudy, but there was no rain. There were a few snowfields in the Derratal. The highest point was at 1,813 meters. We stopped for a break at the middle Spitalalpe. It was beautifully situated. From there, the descent was very steep in places.

September 7, 2025,🇦🇹 Derra-Tal ab Baad

In the morning, a bus departs every 10 minutes from Oberstdorf to Kleinwalsertal. The one-way ticket from Austria costs €5 per person; a day ticket costs €10 anyway. We travel to the final stop in Baad and then make a generous loop through the Derrenbachtal valley. It's wonderfully secluded here, even considering the number of other hikers. Plenty of peace …

The weather isn't going to be great today... - so a small, nice tour around the Derraköpfle - rain planned. We got some on the way up - no matter. But what happened at the end of our tour - we were just safe 😁👍 - it wasn't raining anymore... - good thing we were back 🤪!

Quiet tour through the wild Derra valley. Lots of cows graze here. The views of the Widderstein are impressive. The stop in the Spitalalpe was a pleasure.

August 27, 2024,Waden- und Schienbein-Training: Von Baad über´s Derrajoch und Spitalalpen hinunter nach Baad

Today's 4th tour in a row was good training for the calves when running uphill, and then running downhill really took a toll on the knees and shins. It starts in Baad, at first quite leisurely, then very steeply over the Derrajoch. From there it goes downhill over the upper Spitalalpe and then steeply downhill to the middle Spitalalpe. A …

After rainy days there are three spongy spots; in the upper part of the tour there are cows that often stay close to the hiking trail; a bit unpleasant if you are travelling with a dog; otherwise a very nice hike;

September 21, 2022,Schneewanderung durchs Derratal

In the best weather, we have planned a circular hike through the Derratal. We started in Baad on very rough and steep mountain paths.

The path is only recommended in dry weather. I can understand that, since the path on our tour was covered with snow after a short time. Very difficult, we sank knee-deep and dangerously close to the …
