A steady 6.5 km climb of about 880 m from Oberstdorf up the Faltenbach valley, past the Stützel viewpoint, the Faltenbach gorge and the Seealpe middle station of the Nebelhorn cable car, to about 1,720 m in the upper Faltenbach valley. The path climbs through meadow and rock with sweeping views across the Allgäu Alps; the summit is well above the end of the line.
