In the small hamlet is the Berggasthof Spielmannsau. Here you will be provided with hearty food. Spielmannsau is the entrance to the shortest valley of the Oberstdorf valleys: the steeply rising Traufbach valley has its origin here.

There is a lovely little path along the Trettach. From time to time you can also get close to the water and cool your feet in the summer.

On the way back we took the forest path. But be careful. There was a mudslide with rubble during the storm. Sturdy shoes and sure footing are necessary!

Unfortunately, the mobile phone gave up on the last meters. It then went past the golf course to the right and over the mud bath. There left with a great view over Oberstdorf back to the Nebelhornbahn

Unfortunately, the Komoot app unintentionally paused in the last section. Something that has often annoyed me at Komoot. A swipe and the recording pauses without a security query.

The continuation of the winter fairy tale takes us from the Renksteg car park near Oberstdorf to Spielmannsau and back across Lake Christlesse. In the imperial weather, the tour was again a pure pleasure, a real imperial weather winter wonder hike 👍😁
