Become a border crosser on your hike from Fellhorn to Söllereck in Oberstdorf
From the Explorer Hotel Oberstdorf, you can reach the valley station of the Söllereckbahn cable car in about 4 minutes. You can either walk up or treat yourself to a relaxing ride on the cable car.
From the mountain station, follow the signpost to the left towards Söller-Alpe/Fellhorn. After a leisurely climb through the forest, you will reach the Söller-Alpe, a mountain hut with a restaurant, at approximately 1,522 meters.
From here, a short, steep climb takes you up to the Söllereck at 1,706 meters. You're now on the border ridge between Germany and Austria, which leads you to the 2,038 m high Fellhorn summit. From there, a short descent takes you to the Fellhorn cable car mountain station. From the valley station, the bus takes you back to Oberstdorf.
Even more summit bliss?
Alternatively, you can extend your hike and hike from the Fellhorn to the Kanzelwand in Austria, where the summit is at 2,058 meters. Take the Kanzelwand cable car down to Riezlern. From there, the Walserbus (Line 1) takes you to the parking lot at Söllereck or to Oberstdorf.
