Tour on passable routes from the backyard mountain of Mittelberg down to the wild and romantic Schwarzwassertal
moderate

Leaving the cable car behind you can enjoy sights on the incomparable mountain panorama of the Kleinwalsertal – and hike with little effort. As you descend into the Schwarzwassertal you can admire the Ifenplateau and will probably be surprised by the relatively lush vegetation. Several alps invite you to stop while you walk down to the valley.
Author’s recommendation
Take down the panoramic elevator at the mountain station of the Walmendingehorn cable car and start your tour from here.

From Tyrol the fastest route is over the A7 to Kempten carrying on along the B19 direction Oberstdorf. A motorway vignette is not required to reach the valley.Parking
