The Ascent of the Breitenberg
After a short drive, you start your tour from the parking lot at the Fallmühle and follow the road towards Grän to the signposted ascent path "to the Ostlerhütte."
The wide path leads you uphill; after just a few minutes, you can take a shortcut to the left via a meadow path and reach a junction. From here, the path opens up to the right to the Ostlerhütte, and you hike through the shady mountain forest.
After about half an hour, the path becomes steeper and takes you over a wide slope to the ridge of the Breitenberg. After the rocky climb, you reach the passage near a pasture fence; from here, the path flattens out and leads you east along the right side of the ridge.
The alternation between steep and flat sections finally brings you up to the ridge. During the ridge hike, you'll enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. Passing the Ostlerhütte on your left, after a few steps you'll reach the summit cross of the Breitenberg. Here, your ascent will be rewarded with magnificent views of the Ammergau Alps, the Wetterstein Mountains, and the Allgäu Alps. The Ostlerhütte provides hearty refreshments with Allgäu snacks and cold drinks. The descent is the same as the ascent.
