User provided description:

..The tour is part of the E4 Maximiliansweg trail and leads along paths and trails that are sometimes challenging but always well marked, from the summit station of the Mittagbahn cable car via the peaks of Steineberg (1660 m), Stuiben (1749 m), Sederer (1737 m), Buralpkopf (1772 m), Gündleskopf (1784 m), Rindalphorn (1821 m) to Hochgrat (1834 m). This adds up to a total of almost 1300 m of ascent and 1000 m of descent.

At Steineberg, there is a ladder approx. 20 m high to climb, but this can be easily bypassed on a path. Just before Stuiben, a wire rope helps you over a Nagelfluh slab.  This section can be classified as T3. From Stuiben onwards, the technical difficulties are over. However, the further route to the Hochgrat summit, which is physically demanding, should not be underestimated. The Hochgratbahn mountain station is located 20 minutes below the summit. 

The return to Immenstadt is by RVA bus 95 from the Hochgratbahn valley station to Oberstaufen station and then by train to Immenstadt. Those who have arrived by train can continue directly to Kempten
