A real pleasure hike. Einstein is one of the most beautiful summits of the Tannheimer Tal. A magnificent natural setting, or rather two views of Einstein are waiting for us. From Engetal, Einstein really looks inconspicuous, but from Tannheim it appears like a true giant.Directions:
We start at the parking lot or at the bus stop, head south, and follow the signs towards Einstein. At first, it goes through rural areas, gradually becoming steeper. We hike through the forest until after some time we reach the ridge. A wonderful view over the Tannheimer Tal opens up. We continue hiking along the ridge to the summit. After the traditional rest at the summit cross, we hike downwards towards Tannheim. Upon reaching the Berg district, we follow the local road through the underpass to the municipal office. From here, take the bus, taxi, or of course walk back to the car.
Tip:The last meters to the summit must be hiked with utmost caution.
By bus to Engetal, otherwise you have to go back to pick up the car. Safety guidelines:
General valid and usual rules of conduct
It should be noted that mountaineering involves an increased risk of accidents and injury. Despite careful tour planning, a basic risk always remains. Tour preparation through endurance sports, appropriate technical training and education, as well as personal caution reduce the risk of accidents. But please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.
Personal mountaineering equipment must be safe and functional and correspond to the respective technical standard. Every hiker is recommended to inform themselves about the planned routes in alpine specialist literature or on site.Additional information:
