Smuggler's Trail (Schmugglersteig)

The hiking trail called "Schmugglersteig" from Wannenjoch to the Iseler. This path was a popular smuggler's path because of its proximity to the border, and you can still feel all kinds of smugglers' footsteps today. A unique adventure for young and old. Already at the valley station you will be welcomed by the so-called "black man" and you decide which role you want to take on: that of smuggler or that of border guard. Once you arrive at the top station, you will receive the smuggler's or border guard's paraphernalia and be initiated into the respective task. You now walk through the smuggler's path and as a smuggler you are supposed to transport the smuggled goods from Tyrol to Bavaria and as a border guard you are supposed to track down as many smugglers as possible. Once you have completed the task, all hikers, whether smugglers or border guards, receive the "Smuggler Pass".And if it doesn't work out immediately at the beginning, there is the possibility to come back again!Start at the Wannenjochbahn valley station in Schattwald (Tyrol) or at the Iselerbahn valley station in Oberjoch (Allgäu). The hiking bus between Oberjoch and Schattwald runs every hour.
