Description:
From Tannheim over Rossalpe to the beautiful plateau of Feldalpe, optionally you can take the small descent to Älpele or follow the route towards Willersalpe.
Willersalpe lies amidst sunny meadows where cows and young cattle graze.

Directions:

From the west parking lot in Tannheim, head southeast past the tennis court Sägerklause towards the grotto. Now follow the signs further towards Roßalpe. From the lower Roßalpe, the path becomes somewhat more challenging. Over the saddle between Schnurschrofen and Geißhorn, through the Feldalpe area, we reach Älpele, which invites you to stop for a break. A short section back the same way, at the fork keep right uphill towards Zirleseck. Once at the top, we already see Willersalpe. From Willersalpe we follow the "Jubilee Path" to Schafwanne. Below Geißeck, steadily ascending, we reach the summit of Geißhorn. The descent leads northward towards Obere Roßalpe and further to Vilsalpsee. Those who no longer want to walk the last stretch back to Tannheim can take the carriage, bus, or Alpenexpress here.

Very nice tour with many viewpoints.Safety guidelines:
