Description:

It does not always have to be skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing. On almost 81 kilometres of cleared paths, hikers roam through the snow-covered fairytale landscape. Along the way, cosy huts invite you to stop for a break. Sitting by the open fire, warming up with a Jaga tea or fortifying yourself with a snack for the next few kilometres - this is how you can enjoy snow walks to the full.

Because there is so much to discover and see along the approximately 81 kilometres of cleared hiking trails, so much fresh air to fill up with, that every step becomes a pleasure - whereby the inns and cafés along the routes offer extensive possibilities to strengthen and warm up. If you want to experience something really special, join a guided snowshoe hike. Those who want to reach high altitudes have two possibilities in the Tannheimer Tal to climb a peak in winter, too: the Neunerköpfle in Tannheim with the largest peak book of the Alps or the Gamskopf with the panorama information system in Grän.

Directions:
From the car park at the entrance to Zöblen West, parallel to the main road, cross the main road and walk along the small stream on the winter hiking trail to the east. At the height of the district Kienzerle cross the federal road and below the camping site turn right towards east. Past Untergschwend and the St. Leonhard Chapel to the district Berg. Keep right there and continue into the centre of Tannheim and back over the centre of the village in the direction of Unterhöfen/ Neu-Kienzen, further through the district of Kienzen, cross a small bridge, keep left and follow the same path back to the starting point.

Tip:
A visit to the plague chapel of Saint Leonhard is worthwhile.

No special equipment required.

Winter hiking:

An up-to-date and well-kept/maintained equipment (shoes, sticks and clothes) not only provides a considerable degree of safety but also makes winter hiking much easier. Sun protection (high protection factor and possibly sunglasses) as well as sufficient liquid should not be forgotten.
