Easy hike with a view for your vacation in Oberstdorf
Starting from the Explorer Hotel Oberstdorf, head west along the Oberallgäu Circular Hiking Trail, initially to the Grasgehren lifts. The actual ascent begins on the left, past the lift house. In a narrow wooded area, continue left along the slope, which is used as a ski run in winter, and continue uphill. But don't worry, after the short, steep climb, the terrain flattens out, and you walk through alpine meadows with a beautiful view of Grasgehren.
The path now leads you to the right of the lift route to the shoulder and finally to the summit of the Riedberger Horn at 1,787 m. Here, you should definitely take the time to enjoy the 360-degree panoramic view of the Allgäu Alps before heading back down.
The descent proceeds eastward along the Oberallgäu Circular Trail to the Bolgengratbahn valley station, past the Grasgehrenalpe, and back to the parking lot.
Alternative:
If you get hungry, we recommend stopping at the Mittelalpe. To do so, simply retrace your steps from the summit and follow the sign to the right. After eating, you can simply follow the hiking trail back to the parking lot.
