Allgäu
The Allgäu destination in the very south of Germany extends from the Nebelhorn to Mindelheim, from Lindau to Kaufbeuren. The region is divided into four districts. While the Alps in Oberallgäu and Ostallgäu offer a wide range of sporting activities, the rolling hills of Westallgäu and Unterallgäu are perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature.

Varied Alpine foothills
What is special about the Allgäu nature area is the varied landscape: wide, open valleys and gentle hills in the foothills of the Alps, majestic mountains and peaks on the main Alpine ridge.
There's the Große Krottenkopf for example, with its 2657 m the highest mountain of the Allgäu Alps. It is followed by the Mädelegabel with 2645 m and the Hochvogel with 2593 m. Between the rugged peaks lie refreshing rivers and lakes, wild and romantic gorges such as the Breitachklamm, traditional villages and historic towns. The best conditions to get active while hiking, biking and skiing, to enjoy Alpine wellness in the middle of the mountains or to stroll through beautiful towns. And all this combined with the warm hospitality of the locals.

Culinary delights in the Allgäu
In the Allgäu, great importance is attached to local produce and regional dishes. Be sure to try them: Allgäuer Kässpatzen! In addition to tourism, dairy farming is an important economic sector in the region. Tasty mountain cheese, Allgäu Emmental and many other types of cheese are made from the milk of the typical Allgäu brown cattle in the alpine dairies. In many alpine dairies, you can take a guided tour and look over the cheesemaker's shoulder.
The Allgäu cows spend the summer high up on the green alpine meadows. The associated huts - called alps - are a popular destination for hikers and mountain bikers. Hearty snacks are served here until the cattle drive in autumn. The best accompaniment to a snack is a beer from the region. Many Allgäu breweries have award-winning beers on offer. Just like the alpine dairies, a brewery tour in the Allgäu is also well worthwhile.

History of Allgäu
Relax in the city - that's no problem in the Allgäu! In the winding alleys of the Allgäu towns you can discover a lot. Old arches and city walls, rippling fountains, lively market squares and historic churches, monasteries and castles give the cities their very own character. Whether Kempten, Isny or Leutkirch - all cities have a historical townscape and a lively urban culture in common.
A very special highlight is a tour to one of the small Christmas markets in the Allgäu, for example the Bad Hindelang Adventure Christmas Market. If you are interested in Allgäu tradition, it is best to visit one of the Klausen or Bärbeletreiben, where young men and women dressed in furs, rags and masks parade through the villages, making a lot of noise with chains and bells and thus putting the dark figures and evil spirits of winter in their place.
