The second hike during my stay in the Allgaeu led me up the Weiherkopf (~1660 m), a peak above the village Bolsterlang. This peak allows a great view on the Allgaeu main ridge, especially if weather conditions are ideal as they were at the day of my hike.
I had also climbed the neighboring peak, the Grosser Ochsenkopf and on the way there could capture a few atmospheric impressions from the high moor which is located in the drop between the two peaks.
Starting point is the village Bolsterlang, about 10 km north of Oberstdorf. The Hörner cable car brings us up at about 1400 m height, so that the climb to the Weiherkopf is just another 200 m.
On the way up, the peaks of the Kleinwalsertal start showing up. To the right the characteristic Widderstein.
Lots of paragliders started from the slopes below the Weiherkopf. Weather conditions were as good as it can get.
The so-called triumvirate of the Allgaeu Alps: Trettachspitze (2595 m), Mädelegabel and Hochfrottspitze.
In the background the Hochvogel (2592m), another signature peak of the Allgaeu.

Back just in time for today's sundowner.
I hope you enjoyed my photographic excursion up the Weiherkopf. Thanks for watching and see you next time.
