Nice hike that is also easily manageable with children. The area around Neunerköpfle offers wonderful fauna and flora and not to forget a beautiful view. This hike definitely has potential for extension; there is the option to continue on the Saalfelder Höhenweg towards Landsberger Hütte or choose the descent to Haldensee.
On nice days and in clear weather, you can see the Zugspitze very well.Directions:
We start from Schmieden heading east towards Usseralpe. We follow the well-developed track until the junction to Hubertushütte. Here the ascent becomes a little steeper, but only about 200 meters. We follow the path to Hubertushütte. From Hubertushütte, our destination Neunerköpfle is clearly in sight. Then we continue up over the ski slope - open terrain. At the height of the mountain station, the last section towards the summit begins. The last stretch to the summit is wonderfully secured and developed, possible without problems with children.
After the wonderful view and a short rest, we walk a few more meters on the backside of the summit to the junction to Usseralpe. Here we follow the path to the hut and after a possible stop, stay on the track and follow it back to the starting point at Schmieden.
A stop at one of the huts along the way is of course part of it.
