The Heilbronner Weg is a renowned high-altitude mountain trail located in the Allgäu Alps. Its long T4 section is known for its narrow ridges, steep climbs, and the necessity for sure-footedness and a head for heights. We will traverse secured passages with wire ropes and ladders, making it a thrilling adventure. The route will reward us with stunning views of rugged peaks, vast valleys, and pristine alpine lakes.

Dear buddies, I updated the meeting place with the platform number. Saturday 08:00 at platform 27. Depending on the weather and the mood, we may do an optional peak on Saturday near the lake.. On Sunday we will do the Heilbronner Weg if it has been cleared (see here https://www.oberstdorf.de/alpininfo/bergsportbericht/), else a nice alternative towards the Lechtal . We will adapt to the conditions and have fun anyways! Bring the spikes as stated in the packlist and good mood. If you dont know my whatsapp, you can PM me. Looking foward to seeing you on Saturday.

Especially in case weather forecasts stay Like they are now for Sunday, I would prepare a Plan B. The Rain quantitatives look High and good possibilities for thunderstorms. Also according to last reports as you posted and my eyes can confirm front the Flight I had few days ago, that area of Allgäu has significant amount of snow coverage still. Enjoy anyway beautiful Allgäu! 😊

Dear buddies, looking forward to a sunny Saturday tomorrow, bring your swimming suit for an unforgettable swim in Rappenseelake. And on Sunday we will see. It is probable we will start very early either for plan A,B (hohes licht and down to the valley), or C (just down to the valley). And everyone can also decide for themselves as im not professional guide and you are responsible for yourselfes. Bring also your gloves to touch iron cables, spikes and warm clothes, rain gear. See you!
