Dear buddies. I was too long without organizing a hike in this wonderful group! Altough at the moment the max group size is very small, still I want to give the possibility to people to join for a very lovely hike together. I want to have a full day experience like in the good old times, so long trip, long beautiful hike and maybe also dinner together to enjoy as much as possible the day and have the closest as possible experience to normality. In the meantime let´s make the best out of the times we live and let´s spend a great day together! 

A beautiful ridge hike south direction between Söllereck and Fellhorn offers us great views of the Allgäu Alps. The mountain Söllereck separates the Austrian Kleinwalsertal from Stillachtal. Once left Oberstdorf village on our back we follow the hiking trail to Freibergsee. The view of the mountains that rise above the deep blue water is simply fantastic. The hiking trail leads you from the lake through a light forest to the valley station of the Söllereckbahn. Glades and forests alternate on the subsequent ascent. At the top a great view of Oberstdorf awaits you. From Hochleiten (1170), in wide loops with many flat passages, we continue on a wide path along the beautifully made nature trail and it takes a long time until "Fellhorn" is finally signposted as the destination. From the Sölleralpe it goes well uphill and after another quarter of an hour we stand on the Fellhorngrat and thus we have a great view towards Kleinwalsertal for the first time. We reach few summits one after each other: first Schlappoltek and Söllerkopf and then Schlappoldkopf. We will definitely take a break to enjoy views here. The further hiking trail is pure joy: beautiful views in all directions. The continuation of the path is not demanding and again very promising and extremely rewarding, if you also have taste for the views. We finally reach Fellhorn cross. We take a break here and we then go down to Schlappoldsee on the way down to the valley.
