The Giebelhaus
Photo: Hartmut Wimmer, Outdooractive Climbing

The gabled house in the Allgäu impresses with its traditional architectural style and a beautiful view of the surrounding area.

The mountain inn "Giebelhaus" is located on 1058 m in the Hintersteiner Tal - in the middle of the nature reservation Allgaeu High Alps. You can sit on the terrace or inside while enjoying the good Allgaeu cuisine. Several hiking and ski trails pass the Giebelhaus.
