Scenic and easy route that offers a lot for relatively little effort. About one third of the one and a half hour route can be done on the mostly packed hiking trail. Then follows gently to moderately steep terrain. A 1080p video with a drone can be seen under Details/Videos

From Gunzesried to the Bleicherhorn (1,669m) by Achim
April 15, 2023 · alpenvereinaktiv.com
Sagenhafter Blick über die Nagelfluhkette, das Autal und Ostertal über die Hörner bis zu den Allgäuer Hochalpen, die Tour ab der Gunzesrieder Säge ist ca. 1 h insgesamt länger, bei schwierigen Schneeverhältnissen nochmal etwas Zeit obendrauf einplanen. Wir sind die Route im Gipfelbereich des Bleicherhorn in entgegengesetzter Richtung gegangen, was problemlos möglich war, allerdings ist dort auf die Lawinenlage zu achten.
