Austria On the way to Krinnespitze

On your way to the Krinnespitze, there is a stunning ridge that deserves some special attention. This scenic spot offers a perfect pause to admire the Tannheim Valley and the jagged peaks of the Allgäu Alps. The ridge, located about halfway up the trail from the Krinnenalpe, is particularly striking in the early morning when the first rays of sunlight paint the mountains with golden hues.

Since the ridge provides a sweeping view over the valley, a wide-angle lens will capture the full grandeur of the landscape. To add a unique touch to your photos, try shooting just as the sun rises over the peaks, casting long, dramatic shadows across the valley floor. If you’re lucky enough to be there on a misty morning, you might catch the valleys blanketed in fog, with the peaks standing out like islands. Don’t forget a neutral density filter if you’re experimenting with long exposures.

Parking is available at the Haldensee Lake or at the Bergbahnen Tannheim Valley station. The hike to this viewpoint takes about 1 to 1.5 hours and features a gentle incline, making it an ideal place for a quick break or a photo session.
