Die Alpe Eschbach (949 m) ist malerisch im hinteren Stillachtal gelegen, zwischen Birgsau und dem Abzweig ins Rappentalptal.

Während der Sommersaison werden Brotzeiten, Kuchen und Getränke angeboten. Zudem können Produkte aus der eigenen Sennerei direkt an der Alpe gekauft werden.

Erreichbar ist die Alpe Eschbach mit dem Bus von Oberstdorf, alternativ nur zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad. Der letzte öffentliche Parkplatz für Autos befindet sich an der Fellhornbahn ca. 2,5 km vor der Alpe.
