The Hochvogel panorama from Hinterhornbach is one of the most impressive sights in the entire Lechtal valley. The striking, pyramid-shaped rock formation of the Hochvogel (2,592 m) rises majestically above the tranquil valley head and dominates the entire field of vision. A spectacular photo motif that impressively conveys the alpine wildness of the Allgäu Alps.

The Petersberg Alm (1,296 m) is idyllically nestled in the rear Hornbachtal valley near Hinterhornbach and is considered one of the coziest excursion destinations in the Allgäu and Lechtal Alps. In addition to the extraordinarily warm hospitality, the traditional alpine pasture enchants with tasty Tyrolean home cooking as well as fine homemade cheese and sausage specialties from its own production. Due to its easily accessible location, it is the perfect stop for families, pleasure hikers, and nature lovers.
