Route Details
E5 - Oberstdorf - Vergano 02
Walking time: 6 hours, distance: 14km, vertical metres uphill/downhill: 950/850m
From the Kemptner Hütte, head in a southerly direction to the Mädelejoch ridge, past the Kratzer and Muttlerkopf mountains. After around half an hour you will reach the Austrian border. Continue downhill into the Höhenbachtal Valley as far as the Roßgumpenalpe hut (food & drink served). Shortly after leaving the hut you cross the Roßgumpenbach stream and reach a wide trail leading through the Höhenbachtal Valley. Go past the Simms-Wasserfall waterfall down to the village of Holzgau in the Lechtal Valley. At the Gasthof Bären inn take the "Madautal-Taxi" shuttle service operated by the Feuerstein taxi company through the Madautal Valley to the small service cable car which supplies the Memminger Hütte hut. This taxi transfer enables hikers to avoid a ten-kilometre walk through the valley.
Behind the small cable car used to transport supplies and materials, cross the Parseier Bach stream and climb up a series of steep switchbacks onto the north-facing slopes of the Seekogel mountain. Cross the Sewibach stream and, above the waterfall, take the trail to Obere Leg (views of the Seekogel mountain). After another short uphill section you will reach the Memminger Hütte hut (2,242m).

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
