Schatzloch Cave

Highlight • Cave

A small narrow cave.....or just a hole in the rock. Certainly a good shelter for animals from time to time

Stierkopf

Highlight • Summit

Just as beautiful as the three Hörnle, but unfortunately without a summit cross

Tip by

6.15 km

The highest of the three Hörnle peaks. From here you have a great 360° panorama. As others have already written, overcrowded with good weather and on weekends. So if possible, it's better to visit on a weekday.

Middle Hörnle

Highlight • Summit

Of the three Hörnle elevations, the middle one is climbed the least and is therefore the quietest Hörnle summit.

Vorderes Hörnle

Highlight • Summit

The Vordere Hörnle is one of the three Hörnle peaks. From here you have fantastic views over the mountains as well as the Alpine foothills with their lakes.

Hörnle Alm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Not serviced in winter, but in summer a nice Alm with a snack, coffee and cake. Not as busy as at the front of the mountain railway.

Somewhat stormy tour over the Hörnle summit. The wind at Bull's Head was particularly icy. The sun came out later and it was really pleasant 😊 Grödel were helpful because the paths were partly icy.

Great tour, many peaks in a short time, so highly recommended.

Unfortunately, Komoot and I messed up the recording, so the tour is divided into two parts.

Was that the end of this year's ski and mountaineering season? In any case, I had expected much more wintry conditions today. And then it was almost a summer tour. Shocking how bone dry it was for the most part. Almost like August.
