Jungholz Parish Church was consecrated in 1789 and also serves as the meeting point for a guided herb walk. Other options for your stay include a moderately difficult themed trail, a winter hike, and a practice area for making your first turns in the snow.
Hikes with different time frames
The Jungholz Alphabet Trail is a moderately difficult themed trail: it is 7.36 kilometers long, with a stated duration of two hours and five minutes. The length and time give you a specific framework for planning your day. Another option is the winter hike from Jungholz via Reuterwanne and Alpe Stubental and back. This route is also moderately difficult, takes about three hours, and offers views of the Wertach Valley and the Sorgschrofen summit. The comparison is therefore between a themed trail with a precisely stated length and duration, and a winter loop with an approximate time frame. The Alphabet Trail is more precisely timed for a fixed day plan; for the winter tour, plan around the approximate three-hour time frame.
The hike from Jungholz to Alpe Stubental has its own time frame: you reach the alpine hut after about an hour, where food and drinks are available. This information applies to the route to the hut, not to the approximately three-hour winter hike via Reuterwanne and Alpe Stubental and back. This distinction helps you treat the route to the hut and the complete winter loop, including the return, as separate planning options.
Getting there and starting the route
Bus route 48 runs from Sonthofen in the Allgäu to Jungholz; Sonthofen is one of the nearest railway stations. Both points are useful when traveling by public transport: Sonthofen railway station and the bus connection to Jungholz. Check the timetable before traveling, as schedules may change.
On the “Jungholz around Grüntensee and back” route, the Jungholz bus stop is about 150 meters from the starting point. This distance helps you gauge access to the start of the tour; it does not describe the length of the entire loop.
A practice area for making your first turns
The Snow Learnland next to the parking lot is a practice area where people with a valid lift pass can learn and practice making their first turns in the snow. The lift pass is therefore something specific to include in your plans for a winter day when you want to use this area.
Herb walk and travel planning
The guided herb walk meets at the parish church. Dates are planned for 2026; check the specific event dates before your trip and match them to your stay. If the walk is the deciding factor for your trip, plan your travel dates around a suitable event date.
When looking for hotels in Jungholz, it helps to first decide on your travel dates and what you want to focus on: one of the hiking trails, the winter tour, or a date for the herb walk? Then plan your accommodation for the specific period and check the timetable when arranging your journey.
