Durach

Summer: cycling, hiking and experiencing water

In summer, numerous cycling and hiking trails await you around Durach, taking you through the picturesque Durach Valley and to the edge of the Allgäu Alps. Walks and tours along the Durach, through green forests or up to small vantage points with sweeping views of the Illertal are particularly attractive. Cyclists benefit from the good connection to the Iller cycle path, which is popular with both sporty and leisure cyclists. Those looking for refreshment will find it in the Durach outdoor pool, which offers spacious sunbathing lawns and family-friendly facilities for relaxed days of swimming.

Active in nature - climbing garden and natural treasures

A highlight for outdoor fans is the "Rottachmauer" climbing garden near the well-known "Engelhalde" climbing spot, which offers a variety of options for both beginners and advanced climbers. Children can let off steam on the well-maintained playgrounds and in the nature adventure area by the Durach river. Those interested in botany can experience rare plants of the Allgäu meadows and moors around the village on guided excursions.

Winter: Enjoy cross-country skiing, winter hiking and proximity to the town

In winter, Durach transforms into a peaceful base for cross-country skiing (on well-maintained trails in the municipality and towards Kempten), winter walks and snowshoe hikes through the vast landscape. The nearby Eschach ski area is ideal for alpine skiing. The proximity to Kempten allows for cozy coffee house visits, museum strolls and small shopping trips, should the weather not play along.

Regional enjoyment & relaxation

Allgäu hospitality, well-kept inns and tranquil accommodation ranging from vacation apartments to farmhouses round off your stay. Sights such as the baroque parish church of St. Mauritius or the lovingly preserved townscape are well worth a visit. All in all, Durach combines rural idyll with urban comfort - ideal for a varied, relaxing stay in the Oberallgäu.
