From the free car parking at the valley station of the Weltcup-Express, the road leads us down into the village and next to the Tourist Information to the parish church of St. Alexander. We follow a short stretch of the road up to the Landhotel Alphorn to the right. On left-hand side of the road, take the path down across the meadow to the Ettersbach. The path leads carries on uphill to the small village of Wielenberg.
To the left we follow the few meters to the end of the street. Follow the path on the right and in just 300m before the small forest turn left. After a slight right turn we turn left and follow the path through a small forest along a farm until we reach a wider path. If we follow the path on the left, it leads around the Wittelsbacher Höhe until a signpost to the right shows the slight ascent to the summit - recommended. From the top we can see the Aggenstein in the distant valley of Tannheim to the east, following southwards the Iseler, the Rotspitze, the Sonnenköpfe, the Entschenkopf, the Rubihorn, the Nelbelhorn as well as the majestic mountain summits of the Oberstdorfer and Kleinwalsertaler mountains to the south, and the Hörnerkette to the west side.
After an extended break, we head south downhill to Schweineberg. Depending on the time of the day, it is worthwhile to visit the Bergkäs-Sennerei Schweineberg, a mountain dairy. Or take a stopover in the Bauerngasthof Café Mayr with a lovely terrace and recommended regional cuisine.
We return via a beautiful meadow path from Schweineberg to Wielenberg back to Ofterschwang.
Refreshments: Landhotel Alphorn in Ofterschwang, Bauerngasthof Café Mayr in Schweinberg or a delicious ice cream from alpine milk in the ice cream parlour in the village center of Ofterschwang during the summer months.
