The tour is ideal for hikers with a soft spot for extended stops and refreshments. Whether in Wildental or Gemsteltal, or in the middle of the route at the Mindelheimer Hütte – there is a choice of idyllic alpine huts recommended for a rest. Between the romantic valleys the higher areas offer great views of the Allgäu Alps and the southern summit panorama of the Lechquellengebirge.
Author’s recommendation
Early hikers can enjoy their coffee on the terrace of the Mindelheimer Hütte together with the remaining overnighters.

Turn-by-turn directions
From the starting point at the car park in Schwendle a moderately ascending trail leads us into the Wildental. From the Fluchtalpe we keep right and follow the stream upwards towards the waterfall. The path is steep and demanding. When the Kemptener Scharte (wind gap) is reached, we descend to the Mindelheimer Hütte. From there we follow the so called Schwabengrat to Geißhornjoch. Right hand is the summit of the Geißhorn. The path leads us on serpentines to the Sterzer Hütte and past the "Sterzer Seele" to the Obere Gemstelhütte. The descent is via the Hintere Gemstelalpe; just before the hut a boulder field has to be crossed. At the end of the valley at the river mouth, we follow the Breitach downriver to the Schwand bridge. After 10 minutes we return on the asphalt road to the starting point.
