Around the Imberg

The circular route starts and ends at the Imbergbahn valley station. First on the road towards Hochgrat up to the so-called Giebel, from where you get a first direct view of the mighty Hochgrat. At the Berggasthof Hirsch it goes downhill along the forest edge. Passing several flowgates, you reach the Tarzansteg, cross it and follow the trail upstream to Hochgrat. With consideration for pedestrians across the parking lot. Then right under the railway and at the next fork follow the steep paved hiking trail towards the mountain station. After about 1.5 kilometers turn right and continue on gravel. It passes the Unterstieg alp, then a steep climb to Morgen alp must be tackled. Continue on gravel past some veteran trees to the Mittlere Stiegalpe. A bumpy descent follows, then it’s time to pedal once again uphill past the Ziehen alp. Shortly after, we turn right and follow the flowing path through a small forest. We pass three flowgates, ride past the Eineneck alp on the left and shortly thereafter reach the paved alp road, which we follow towards Imberghaus. With a clear view of Oberstaufen, we either roll back leisurely on the alp road to the valley station of the Imbergbahn or more demanding ride to Hohenegg alp, from there via the valley station of the Fluhexpress on the Fairtrail path, which leads back to the starting point via the Bärenloch alp.
