A scenic tour that already offers a wonderful view of Reutte, which lies in the wide valley basin, as well as the Lechtal Alps and Tannheimer mountains during the ascent. From the summit and during the ridge hike, there is a fantastic view of the Säuling and the Ammergau Alps with the Zugspitze in the background. 
From the car park to the Hotel Restaurant Urisee and along the forest path that begins there we hike in the direction of Dürrenberg Alm. With a wonderful view of the turquoise-colored Urisee, we first hike along the forest path. Soon the trail branches off to the left (signpost Dürrenberg Alpe 23a), which you follow steeply through the forest to the Dürrenberg Alm (1438 m), which is in a beautiful panoramic location on an alpine meadow.
From the Dürrenberg Alpe on mountain path no. 23a continue north-northeast up to the Sattelkopfhütte. Then you traverse to the right below the Unteren- and Oberen Sattelkopf and reach a saddle from which you can see the summit destination for the first time. It is not difficult to continue via the south ridge to the Koflerjoch (1861 m). From here you can see Reutte, the Lech, the Lech Valley, Vils, Pinswang, Säuling and the entire Zugspitze massif, to name just a few. 

We huke then down a few meters until we see the signpost to the Zunderkopf. The way to the next summit is really great, you walk through a "pine tunnel" and through a small forest until you reach the small summit. The view from the Zunderkopf (1726m) is also fantastic till Forgensee, especially as the rock drops really vertically. We then start our way down till Bleckenau and Schwangau passing through beautiful view of Neuschwanstein Castle. We reach finally Alpsee to eat and drink something before heading to bus stop.
