The hiking route to the 1,866 metre high summit of Tannheim's local mountain, the Einstein, is around 15 kilometres long and leads along angular rocks and past idyllic forests and yellow flowering meadows from Tannheim via Lohmoos to Zöblen. Due to the sunny location of the mountain, this hike is ideal for the first days of spring. The starting point is the car park in the centre of Tannheim: the tour to the Einstein summit starts on a firm path and leads through the district of Berg, then changes to a signposted, easily accessible gravel path, which later leads into an alpine trail. Once you reach the summit, the spectacular view of the Tannheim mountains opposite is one of the reasons why you don't want to go back down. The route downhill is worthwhile, however, as it runs along the many meadows that blossom in spring through the Lohmoos plateau to the Berghotel Zugspitzblick. And after a refreshing mountaineering snack, the route continues towards the village square of Zöblen. Once you have successfully arrived there, you have the option of taking the bus back to Tannheim.spring happiness on two wheelsAsa top racing bike destination in the Alps, the high valley has been inspiring both professional and amateur racing cyclists for many years.
