Suggested hikes At mid altitude
At mid Altitude
Layers of spotted marl deposits form the base of the Allgäu’s central main ridge and give rise to particularly fertile and quick-drying soil.
As a result, most of the farmed Alpine huts with cows have their lush green pastures on this surface. Boggy damp and straw meadows with many rare
flowers and deep ravines are typical signs of a “flysch zone”. In the west, the rain water turned the Schrattenkalk formation in the "Gottesacker" area into one of the Alps’ most extraordinary karst landscapes. The almost complete lack of vegetation, the deep fissures and the rock crevices as well as the razor-sharp rock formations are all reminiscent of a fossilised glacier. From a distance, it can be compared with a sad, grey and endless cemetery.
