Attractions in and around Oberstaufen
Oberstaufen: Schrothkur, Alpenwellness und Käsestraße
Oberstaufen is Germany's only Schroth-cure health resort – and has grown from a farming village into the wellness mecca of the Allgäu. Between the Hochgrat summit and the Paradies viewpoint, everything here revolves around regeneration, good food and mountain air.
The hotel scene plays in the upper league: houses like the Allgäu Sonne and Haubers Gutshof combine spa landscapes with farmstead roots, while the Berghotel Kienles Adlerkönig is enthroned above the valley. Those preferring it simpler stay centrally at the Hotel Hirsch or Am Rathaus, and guesthouses like the Haus Sabine keep the village open to smaller budgets too.
Ski areas on the Hochgrat and Hündle, the Cheese Road with its dairies and the Alpine lido summer make Oberstaufen a year-round destination. A direct enquiry with the host saves the agency fee – and opens doors: many houses keep their best rooms for regulars and direct bookers.
