Beautiful alpine hike to the managed Obere Rossalpe. This hike once again shows us how beautiful nature in the Tannheimer Tal is. After the hike, the wonderful Vilsalpsee invites you for a splash around.
Directions:We start our hike at the parking lot by the Vilsalpsee and follow the path along the west shore. The ascent already begins here. We pass the small Weltlingshütte, which lies idyllically in the green. The path now becomes a bit steeper, but remains well walkable and pleasant. Through a beautiful mixed forest, we steadily continue ascending. After a while, we reach the Obere Rossalpe, where we enjoy a well-deserved break with a hearty meal. Well strengthened, we begin the return journey and follow the familiar path back to the starting point at the Vilsalpsee.
Tip:Enjoy the wonderful alpine bread meals at the Obere Rossalpe.Safety guidelines:
