Discover the region
Summer: Hiking, cycling and enjoying nature
Lauben is a wonderful starting point for relaxed walks and extensive bike tours through the Iller valley and towards Kempten or Durach. You can set off directly onto the Iller cycle path, which offers plenty of variety for both families and active sports enthusiasts: gentle river landscapes, meadows, forests and plenty of beautiful vantage points. Walks through the Laubener Moos or to the small districts will give you an insight into the typical Allgäu cultural landscape. For a refreshing dip, there are natural swimming opportunities on the River Iller or in the nearby outdoor pools in Kempten and the surrounding area.
Experience nature and village life
In summer, the colorful meadows around Lauben are in bloom, and from numerous benches and picnic areas you can enjoy unobstructed views as far as the Alps. Take the opportunity for a short bike ride towards Kempten and combine your excursion with a tour of the town or a visit to the museum. Families with children will find playgrounds and quiet paths for a safe romp in the great outdoors.
Winter: Gentle activities and relaxation
Lauben is also a haven of peace in winter. The flat paths are ideal for winter walks through snow-covered fields and along the River Iller. With a bit of luck, you can go cross-country skiing or skating on cleared trails in the village or the surrounding area. For alpine skiing fun, there are nearby ski resorts that you can easily reach by car. After ice skating or a snowball fight, we recommend a cozy stop at an inn or café.
Allgäu village life and proximity to the city
Lauben stands for genuine Allgäu tranquillity and hospitality - you usually stay in family-run guesthouses, guest rooms or vacation apartments, often on beautiful farms with a view of the countryside. The proximity to Kempten ensures the best connections to the city's shopping facilities, restaurants and cultural offerings, while at the same time you can enjoy peace and quiet and pure country life in Lauben.
