A wonderful short and easy tour with a great view of the local mountain and the Allgaeu Alps, starting from the free and spacious car park in the Langenschwand district. The trail starts right in front of the Waldhorn Hotel (about 300 meters from the parking lot) and ends above the village in a 3.5 kilometer long and optimally developed hiking trail. After around 700 meters you land at the Jungholz treading pool with a refreshing drinking water fountain to enjoy the wonderful view of the Sorgschrofen local mountain. A few hundred meters further there is a letter (part of the letter path in Jungholz) which aims directly at the church of the village and emphasizes the idyll of the place. After further sights, such as faces carved in tree trunks, you end up at the most impressive place of this tour. The artificial snow-making lake with a wonderful and romantic view of the far-reaching Allgäu Alps is a relaxation point to dream about. The further tour ends in the village with a special church, which is very old-fashioned but very well cared for. The then signposted forest path with its pure nature reflects this excursion. Back at the Langenschwander car park, the Kamelstüble restaurant and cafe offers a calm and relaxed end to the short trip, where small but fine delicacies and drinks can also be purchased.
Author’s recommendation
Take a short detour along the forest path to the Schrofenhütte restaurant and enjoy a coffee on the beautiful outdoor terrace with a view of the Sorgschrofen local mountain!

Turn-by-turn directions
The start and end point is the free Langenschwander car parking slot, which is about 1000 meters above the church in the Langenschwand district. From there you have to walk about 300 meters to the Hotel Waldhorn on a street. From this point the high altitude circular route begins. For almost 3.5 kilometers it flows directly into the Jungholz district. From there you walk again on an asphalt road and turn left at the next intersection into the town center. After about another 500 meters there is a signpost directly at the church. Here you should turn onto the forest path. This ends after another 1.1 kilometers and leads directly to the Langenschwander parking lot.
