The Heilbronner Weg is a nearly 3 km long stretch from the Rappensee hut to the Kemptner hut in the Allgäu Alps. The alpine hiking trail starts at the High Light junction near the small crag and ends at the Bockkarscharte. On the Heilbronner Weg and nearby are numerous peaks. The best known are the High Light, the Mädelegabel, the Bockkarkopf, the Trettach, the Steinschartenkopf and the Hochfrottspitze. Popular peaks on the Heilbronn Weg are the Mädelegabel and the Hohe Licht. The walking time from the Rappensee hut to the Kemptner hut is 6 to 7 hours. The Rappensee hut can be reached via the Hochalptal (junction between Steeg and Warth on the right-hand side of the road) in 3 to 4 hours or from Lechleiten from the Lechtal in approx. 3 hours. At Kemptner Hut you can descend to Holzgau or Oberstorf. The most difficult part of the Heilbronner Weg lies at Steinschartenkopf. A ladder is available for better ascent (easy climbing) This trail runs in high alpine terrain and snow fields and fresh snow are also to be expected in summer. The Heilbronner Weg is not suitable for winter hiking. The best time for a walk along the trail is from the end of June to the beginning/mid-September, depending on weather conditions. Alpine experience, freedom from vertigo and surefootedness are absolutely necessary for an ascent! (also easy climbing)
