Geißeckjoch

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Geißeckjoch lies between the Rauhorn and the Gaishorn.
From here you have wonderful views of the two peaks and down to Hinterstein, the Willersalpe and the Zipfelsalpe.

Magnificent view of the Rauhorn from the north side. This mountain can only be climbed by experienced climbers with little climbing experience!

View of Schrecksee

Highlight • Viewpoint

We made a round trip from the Vilsalpsee via the Landsberger Hütte to the Schrecksee. Wonderful experience, worth it! But you should start right in the morning.

Schrecksee

Highlight • Lake

The sparkling mountain lake is in summer a welcome place to cool off and in any case a unique photo opportunity.

Tour was done as a trail run! Well suited for this!

@Jan 🤠 provided the template😉, but the tour had been on our to-do list for a long time.
Start at the “Auf der Höh” car park in Hinterstein and then the first stage by bus to the power station; There we got on towards Schrecksee. From Schrecksee then over the Willersalpe back to Hinterstein. Recommended tour, which could also be …

Beautiful tour, well worth the effort. I took a break above the lake and just enjoyed the view.
I took the bus for the last 3 kilometers, it came just as I arrived on the asphalt road 👍🏻

Before the onset of winter, we went up to a slightly higher mountain in the Allgäu, the Rauhhorn. Nice mix of speed hiking, trail running and climbing 😄. The snow was almost gone, but now it's back again 😊. If the parking lot in Hinterstein wasn't so exorbitantly expensive at €10, the bitter aftertaste wouldn't be there either 😉. The …

Nice tour from Hinterstein from the paid parking lot on the Höh (€10!!) over the Willersalpe to the Rauhhorn, from there on to the Schrecksee. We had fantastic weather, and we met exactly 3 people up to the Schrecksee, there were a few more at the lake, but we saw maybe 15 people on the entire tour, despite the Schrecksee …

Mountain tour to the Schrecksee, over the Rauhorn.
Super nice mountain tour. The last part to the Rauhorn summit is partly with unsecured climbing passages. 1+ or even 2.
The climb is definitely worth it. Very great panoramic view. We continue to the Schrecksee, one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the Allgäu. The descent is a bit strenuous …

rough horn trespass. A great tour, with ridge scrambling and subsequent descent to the Schrecksee.😄

The altitude information is correct, the route length is not. It was about 19 km. Total time around 9h. Somehow the komoot app doesn't work as it should anymore. It always pauses automatically. That's why the tour on the map only looks so straight.
