Maps and trails
Friesenried is located near the edge of the Alps at the foot of the Grünten massif. The picturesque landscapes are characterised by rolling hills, green meadows and dense forests. The village is known for its idyllic atmosphere as well as its traditional architecture with many half-timbered houses.

The most important sights include Neuschwanstein Castle - one of Germany's most famous tourist attractions -, Ettal Monastery with its magnificent baroque church or the medieval town of Füssen with its narrow streets and historic buildings.

Culture enthusiasts should definitely not miss the annual "Musiksommer Allgäu" festival. Renowned artists from all over the world perform here and offer a varied programme ranging from classical music to jazz or pop concerts.

Friesenried also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Be sure to try the regionally famous Allgäu cuisine such as Kaiserschmarrn or Spätzle with spicy mountain cheese!

For outdoor fans, the region offers numerous opportunities: Hike through the beautiful nature, climb the Grünten or explore the Alpine foothills by bike. In winter, ski resorts such as Oberjoch or Balderschwang beckon.

And what to do when it rains? Visit one of the many museums in the area, such as the Allgäuer Bergbauernmuseum in Diepolz or the Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst in nearby Kempten.

All in all, Friesenried is definitely worth a trip - whether for a relaxing holiday for two or as a family outing. Discover the beauty of the Ostallgäu and experience unforgettable moments!

    Ich habe die Tour am Wochenende gemacht. Wichtig ist, sich die Beschreibung mitzunehmen oder sich von der App leiten zu lassen, denn es gibt keine durchgängige bzw. verlässliche Beschilderung (noch nicht?). Es ist eine stille Wanderung durch ein ruhige Gegend. Mir sind nur eine Handvoll andere Personen (Reiter, Mountain-Biker und Wanderer) begegnet. Wenig Spektakuläres, viel Ruhe, Natur und Erholung. Zwischen Oggenrieder Weiher und Blöcktach zieht es sich ein wenig, da hier ein eher langweiliger Forstweg. Alle anderen Stücke laden immer wieder zu kleinen Entdeckungen ein. Besonders schön: Die Einkehr in der Gfällmühle (leckerer Kuchen!). Mit dem Linienbus ging es zurück nach Kaufbeuren (Achtung: wenig Verbindungen am Wochenende!).

    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!
