Hiking and experiencing nature - summer retreat in Haldenwang

Haldenwang is a real paradise for hiking enthusiasts. The well-signposted network of trails takes you to magnificent viewpoints, through forests and across wide fields. The Kronholz hiking area in particular is an insider tip and offers fantastic views of the Illertal valley and the Alps. On your tours, you will come across traditional farms and small hamlets that characterize the typical Allgäu cultural landscape. A detour to the ruins of Wagegg Castle or the picturesque Leonhard Chapel in the Börwang district is well worthwhile along the way. Those looking for refreshment will find it in the natural swimming pool with clear spring water at the sports center - perfect for cooling off after a hike.

Active on the go - bike tours and more

Thanks to the location between gentle moraine hills and the open Illertal valley, you can go on fantastic cycling tours around Haldenwang. Many routes lead you away from major roads through idyllic landscapes, past viewpoints and small refreshment stops. There are also easy routes for families and leisure cyclists. Those looking for more action can use the sports facilities or try out the local spring water swimming pool.

Winter magic and cross-country skiing enjoyment

In winter, Haldenwang turns into a quiet paradise for cross-country skiers. There are several well-groomed trails of varying degrees of difficulty - both for classic technique and for skaters. The route takes you through the snow-covered hilly landscape with wonderful panoramic views of the Illertal valley and the Alps in the background. Of course, you can also enjoy the winter days on cleared hiking trails or on a walk through the quiet, snow-covered village.

Attractions and hospitality

In addition to the scenic attractions, Haldenwang is rich in history and culture. The parish church of St. Theodor and Alexander in the village center impresses with its interior, while the local history house in the Börwang district brings you closer to Allgäu tradition. In the inns and country hotels you will experience typical Allgäu hospitality. Whether hearty snacks or fine regional cuisine - your physical well-being is taken care of. Accommodation ranges from vacation apartments on a farm to comfortable family hotels.

Conclusion

Haldenwang is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the Allgäu in its original form - active in nature, with sweeping views of the mountains and valleys, and in a friendly community. Whether summer or winter, here you will find authentic Allgäu enjoyment with plenty of space for exercise and relaxation!

    Eine schöne Tour mit vielen Ausblicken. Wir haben die Tour im Uhrzeigersinn gemacht. Vorsicht beim kurzen, steilen, sehr engen Trail von der Teufelsküche hinab zum Parkplatz an der Ronsberger Straße: der Trail wird in Fahrtrichtung rechts von einem Stacheldrahtzaun begrenzt. Am besten das Rad schieben. Und auf die Fußgänger achten.

    Sehr, sehr schöne Tour! Ich bin unter Zuhilfenahme der Route 'May-Nui 04 Allgäu 2015' die Route von Kempten bis Hub geradelt und ab Bad Grönenbach mit dieser Tour wieder Richtung Kempten. Die Allgäu-Tour lässt sich hervorragend mit den Routen 'Radrunde Allgäu- Etappen 1-7' und 'Allgäu Radweg Achse der Radrunde Allgäu' kombinieren. Vielen Dank fürs Einstellen! 👍

    Man sollte die Tour auf jeden Fall in der anderen Richtung laufen, weil man da viel länger den herrlichen Blick auf die Berge genießen kann. Außerdem ist sie dann leichter zu finden. Geht man die Runde in der angegebenen Richtung, landet man auf unbeschilderten, überschwemmten Wiesen, wo dann das Ratespiel losgeht, wie der Weg verlaufen könnte. Und man sollte unbedingt wasserfestes Schuhwerk tragen, zumindest jetzt im Herbst.

    Schöne Aussichten. Sollte aber jedoch eher am Wochenende gefahren werden, da die Straße von Börwang bis Obergünzburg doch gut befahren sonst ist. Die Zeitangabe war sehr hoch gesetzt. Habe selbst mit Pause nur 2:15 gebraucht und bin sehr entspannt gefahren. Sonst top gerne wieder :D

    Es gibt zwar schönere Runden in der Gegend, aber nett ist diese allemal. Der Anfang mit einem langen Stück an der Bundesstrasse gibt einen Punktabzug. Kaum Steigungen und keinerlei Probleme mit der Wegführung machen Sie zu einem netten kleinen Spaziergang.

    Schöner Rundweg mit grandiosem Blick in die Alpen. Gutes Schuhwerk ist von Vorteil, da die Waldwege oftmals nicht trocken sind, und man rechts oder links in den Wald ausweichen muss.
