Instead of continuing on from below the Schneck to Himmeleck, this route can be extended into a multi-day tour by continuing along path 428 to Prinz-Luitpold Haus. Shortly after passing Schönberg Hut the trail crosses the Stierbach stream and goes past the track (to the left) down to Giebel Haus in the Bärgündeletal. From here Prinz-Luitpold-Haus is soon reached on a good trail – 1hr from Schneck. Spend the night at the hut, then continue next day to Landsberger Hut in Austria (see Walk 6).

The rest of the route back to Oberstdorf is all downhill. Already on the way to Wildenfeld Hut the trail loses about 300m in altitude. The stretch of track that passes below the scree-covered slopes of the Großer and Kleiner Wilder is quite badly eroded in places and can be extremely slippery if wet. Chamois are often seen in the vicinity. At the small hut turn right; the trail now zigzags steeply down to Käser Alpe. Surrounded by craggy peaks, the hut has a magnificent situation (refreshments available for walkers from July–late October).
