The Hindelang via ferrata is the longest and most demanding via ferrata in the Allgäu. It runs along the rugged grade between Nebelhorn and Grosse Daumen. Via the Gündlesalpe, the Käseralpe and the Engeratsgundalpe we descend to the Giebelhaus. A fantastic panoramic tour with views of the Allgäu Alps.
