Wertacher Hörnle

Wertacher Hörnle is a mountain peak in the Allgäu Prealps reaching approximately 1,700 meters (5,577 feet). The route crosses through forest and alpine meadows, passing a shelter hut where visitors can take a break during the climb.

The peak took its name from the nearby village of Wertach, which has long served as a base for mountain exploration. Early mountaineers used this area to access the surrounding Alpine peaks of the Allgäu region.

The summit draws regular hikers from surrounding communities who gather here following traditional routes through the mountains. These group outings connect people across villages in the Allgäu region through shared mountain experiences.

The trail is clearly marked and passes through varying terrain with different difficulty levels. It is best to start early in the day to allow enough time for the hike and to return safely before darkness falls.

On clear days, the summit offers sweeping views across Bavarian plains stretching far toward the highest Alpine peaks. This wide panorama makes it a special vantage point for observing the landscape below.
