One of our favorite autumn hikes leads through the Griesbachklamm gorge near St. Johann in Tyrol. The tour is almost mystical in late autumn and above all particularly varied: after the wildly romantic gorge, it goes through autumn forests over two huts and two summit crosses with great views through a magical forest back to the valley.
The hike up to the top of the Höfats would be an extraordinarily challenging hike, which even extremely experienced mountain sportsmen and women should dare to do. But: Does it always have to be a summit climb? How about a round trip instead? After all, the circular route around the Höfats offers breathtaking views of the mountain as well as several other Allgäu Alpine highlights and cozy places to stop for refreshments.
Hiking in the Taunus with children goes particularly well on the Wichtelweg. The route combines fantastic vantage points with exciting stories along the way, making it perfect for families. A free Wichtel fairy tale podcast can get you in the right mood for the hike while you're still on the trail.
