Through the dense trees, the ice of the hop lake glitters, it smells like fir trees for Christmas and with a bit of luck, deer and deer can be discovered in their search for food. At the fork behind the axle bridge, turn towards feet. A short time later you will arrive via sunny meadows, on which great views of the Allgäu mountain world are offered. The striking seedling, the Hausberg Füssens, dominates the panorama here, but also the Falkenstein can be seen, for example, on which the highest The ruins of Germany tower.

After Birkenallee, turn right to reach the shore of the Hopfensee on wide paths. Orientation is provided by the guides to the “Wiesbauer”. While it is slowly going back to the starting point along the shore, fantastic views of the Allgäu Alps, which now appear as white giants in winter, are also produced here. If you want, make in between a small detour on the wild romantic natural ice of the hop lake and look forward to an experience of the extra class. After the tour, there is a stop at the inn to warm up with a hot drink and strengthen an Allgäu delicacy.
