Description:
A real pleasure hike. The Einstein is one of the most beautiful peaks of the Tannheimer Tal. A wonderful natural scenery, respectively two views of the Einstein are waiting for us. From the Engetal the Einstein looks really inconspicuous, but seen from Tannheim the Einstein appears as a real colossus.

Directions:
We start at the parking lot or bus stop, keep south and follow the signs to Einstein. At the beginning we are going rural, from time to time it gets steeper and steeper. We walk in the forest until we reach the ridge after some time. A wonderful view over the Tannheimer Tal opens up. We hike along the ridge to the summit. After the traditional rest at the summit cross, we hike downhill towards Tannheim. Having reached the district Berg we follow the local road through the underpass to the municipal office. From here we take the bus or taxi or of course we walk back to our car.

Tip:
The last meters to the summit are to be walked with extreme caution.

By bus to the Engetal otherwise you have to pick up your car again.

However, please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.
