Discover the region

Geographically, Aitrang lies at the foot of the Alps and is surrounded by picturesque hills and meadows. It is an idyllic village with a rich history and culture.

Tourist attractions include the baroque parish church of St. Michael or Lautrach Castle. Another attraction is the nearby Forggensee - a beautiful lake with crystal-clear water and breathtaking views of the mountains.

Cultural highlights are also available: The annual local festival in August attracts visitors from near and far as well as various concerts throughout the year.

You should not miss the culinary specialities of Aitrang! Be sure to try the famous Allgäu cheese or enjoy regional dishes such as "Kasspatzen" (homemade spaetzle) or "Schupfnudeln" (twisted potato dough noodles).

If it rains there is still plenty to do: for example, discover the local museum or visit a local brewery for a tasting.

For outdoor activities, hiking is the best option - through the green meadows and along the rivers, hiking enthusiasts can unwind. You can also go cycling, fishing or even try paragliding.

The best time of year to visit Aitrang is in summer and autumn. At this time, the temperatures are mild and the weather is pleasant. However, spring also offers a nice opportunity for nature walks or bicycle tours along the Forggensee.

Overall, Aitrang is definitely worth a trip - with its breathtaking scenery, rich history and culture as well as culinary delights, there is a lot to experience here!

    Eine kleine Traumtour. Eine Einkehr auf der Seealpe mit klasse Kaffee und gutem Kuchen ist einfach wunderbar.

    Nette ebene Runde durch Wald, Sumpf und Wiesen. Asphalt, Schotter und kleine Pfade. Zwei Einkehrmöglichlkeiten. Die Sonnalpe hat einen SB Kühlschrank mit Getränken. / Wir hatten einen Parkplatz bei der B12 und sind von Osten auf die Runde gelaufen. Auf dem Rückweg nahmen wir die Abkürzung vor der Badeanstalt links weg auf den kleinen idyllischen Pfad. Die Runde bietet abwechslungsreiche Landschaften, aber den See sieht man eher selten. Uns hat es trotzdem gefallen.

    Die Route ist wie vom Autor beschrieben und hat uns gut gefallen. Manchmal wäre es aber auch möglich gewesen die Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Ortschaften auf weniger Verkehr lastigen Wegen zu führen. Die Einkehr in der Katzbui Mühle ist wirklich zu empfehlen!

    Tolle Tour mit dem E-Bike zur Alpe und mit Abstecher nach Marktoberdorf zurück. Strecke war super zu befahren, Kies manchmal etwas rutschig... Vielen Dank, die Runde hat uns gut 3 Stunden (mit Einkehr) viel Freude gemacht! Allgäu vom Feinsten ☺️

    Ein schöner und abwechslungsreicher Spaziergang. Eine Parkgelegenheit ist in Wenglingen eher ungünstig. Besser ist es die Runde am Waldrand zu beginnen. Wir sind noch weiter, Richtung Apfeltrang gefahren und haben das Auto am Wanderparkplatz abgestellt. Das verlängert die Runde etwas, aber auch diese Strecke ist sehr schön zu gehen.

    Sehr schöne und auch einfache Runde. Tolle Landschat. Die Zeitangabe ist aber etwas übertrieben. Auch wenn man sehr langsam geht, schafft man es locker unter 2 Stunden.
