Allgäu-Urlaub: von Königsschlössern bis zu Alpwiesen
The Allgäu is Germany's southern dreamland: gentle hills dotted with brown cattle, the jagged backdrop of the Allgäu Alps behind them, and in between royal castles, baroque churches and more than 20 health resorts. No wonder the region ranks among the country's favourite holiday destinations.
Each town sets its own tone: Oberstdorf is the address for mountain sports, Füssen the gateway to Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, Oberstaufen stands for wellness and its Schroth cure tradition, and Bad Hindelang boasts one of the loveliest ensembles of Alpine villages. Guests prefer to stay with hosts here: the Allgäu is the land of holiday apartments, guesthouses and farms where children watch the morning milking.
Between the Breitachklamm gorge, the flower trails of the Fellhorn and the giant ski-flying hill, the essential Allgäu experience remains a Brotzeit on an alpine pasture. Ask the host directly and you book commission-free – and learn which mountain dairy ripens the most aromatic cheese.
