An extremely attractive mountain tour in the Allgäu, which delights with varied natural impressions and great panoramas, leads from Buching via the Buchenberg Alm, the Mühlberger Älpele and the Drehhütte to the Schwangauer Tegelberg. Allgäu holidaymakers in Füssen-Weißensee who are fit and sure-footed will get their money's worth on this beautiful hike.
You should be in good physical condition for the mountain tour from Buching through the beautiful Ammergebirge nature reserve to the Tegelberg, then nothing will stand in the way of an unforgettable day in Allgäu. Mountain hikers can look forward to fantastic natural impressions, fantastic views over the picturesque foothills of the Alps with its green meadows, crystal-clear lakes and magnificent mountains, as well as delicious culinary delights in rustic mountain huts. The starting point of the tour is the valley station of the Buchenbergbahn. Allgäu holidaymakers in Füssen-Weißensee take the B17 towards Schwangau to get to Buching. The valley station, where there is sufficient parking space, is located on the right at the entrance to the community.
The hiking enthusiasts set out on the Kulturweg, which takes them up to the Buchenberg Alm in around an hour, interrupted only once by a forest road. Sometimes it's relatively steep uphill in narrow serpentines, so your fitness is tested a bit on this first section. The Buchenberg Alm, located on a plateau at an altitude of 1140 , has cozy rooms and a sun terrace and pampers hungry hikers with delicious snacks and warm Allgäu delicacies. These can be enjoyed here with a great view of the surrounding royal castles, mountains and lakes.
Refreshed, the hikers then first follow the road slightly downhill before turning off to Mühlberger Älpele in front. The tour runs relatively comfortably on wide hiking trails through pretty forests and does not involve any significant inclines. At Mühlberger Älpele, an uncultivated alpine pasture that is ideal for a rest, hikers turn right to complete the challenging descent to the Drehhütte. Narrow paths lead steeply downhill in serpentines, requiring concentration. After about two to three hours of total hiking time, you will reach the rotating hut, which is open every day except Mondays. Here, too, there are delicious snacks and delicacies such as Kässspatzen and Schupfnudeln, which strengthen the hikers for the rest of the tour.
From the Drehhütte the route continues steadily up the Tegelberg. On the way there are wonderful views of the picturesque Alpine foothills with its attractions. If you want, you can also stop off at the Rohrkopfhütte on the way before making the final effort with the climb to the Tegelberg mountain station. The last five minutes of the tour are spent on the legs, then the goal is reached. At the mountain station at 1720 metern there is the Tegelberghaus and a panoramic restaurant. The hikers then travel comfortably with the Tegelbergbahn down to the valley station, from where they can take the bus either directly to Füssen-Weißensee or back to the starting point.
The mountain tour from Buching through the Ammer Mountains to the Tegelberg guarantees a great day on vacation in Allgäu with lots of fun and unforgettable impressions. Hiking enthusiasts with sufficient fitness will really love this tour.
