Described by locals as the best location in Germany, this small municipality makes up for its size with its large offering of outdoor activities and beautiful scenery.
Known for its world renowned professional winter sports facilities it also offers ski fields which are enjoyed by locals and the many tourists who visit the area. In summer the mountains become the playground of hikers and bikers alike.
After a long day in the sun you may like to visit the main street which offers local food, boutique groceries and a classic ice cream shop.
The other benifit of this municipality is its central location to other attractions within the region. The city of Sonthofen is a short drive as is Oberstdorf. And if you’re feeling adventurous the winding roads to Austria could be calling.
