This hike offers you lovely views as you head across the
sunny meadows in the south of Oberstdorf and along
the wild Stillach River to the Heini-Klopfer ski flying hill.
Note that the hill’s magnificent view over lake "Freibergsee" and the Stillachtal Valley is not for the faint hearted though! From the ski flying hill, continue up the road towards "Schwand" and "Ringang", an impressive plateau to the south of lake Freibergsee. From here, the sunny trail with its panoramic views heads back downhill, passing the Fellhornbahn valley station and "Anatswald" to "Birgsau". For many people, this is the rewarding and picturesque end point for the hike. If you’ve not yet had enough though, we recommend the climb through the mountain forests to "Einödsbach". After visiting Germany’s southernmost inhabited village, simply retrace your footsteps to "Birgsau" from where regular buses will take you back to Oberstdorf.
