    Hiking

    The Hochgrat and the Seelekopf are two peaks in the Allgäu Alps. The Seelekopf is a neighboring mountain of the Hochgrat at 1663 meters. The Seelekopf can be reached via a ridge hike from the Hochgratbahn mountain station and offers a rewarding view, but requires surefootedness and is secured with rope-secured sections.
    The Hochgrat is the highest mountain in Oberstaufen and offers breathtaking views of the Allgäu Alps.
    The Seelekopf opposite is 1663 meters high and lies in the Allgäu Nagelfluh ridges.
    The combination makes a great hike.
