Maps and trails
Stiefenhofen is known for its picturesque hiking trails through the beautiful nature of the region. The routes along the river Argen or to the Hochgrat lookout point are particularly recommended. In winter, the area is transformed into a paradise for skiers and snowboarders, with several pistes and cross-country ski trails around the village.

In addition to outdoor activities, there are also cultural highlights to discover. The 18th century parish church of St. Peter and Paul is well worth a visit, as is the Stiefenhofen local history museum, which provides insights into the lives of the inhabitants in earlier times.

For culinary delights, be sure to try the regional specialities: Kässpätzle (cheese noodles), beef soup or Allgäu mountain cheese are among them - accompanied, of course, by a glass of local wine.

Even when the weather is bad, there is plenty to do; for example, visit the Aquaria adventure pool in Oberstaufen or take a guided tour of one of the many castles or museum villages nearby.

In summer, you can relax on a warm day at nearby Lake Constance and go swimming or take a boat trip. In autumn, the surrounding area offers a breathtaking play of colours, which you can enjoy on a hike through the forest.

Stiefenhofen is worth a visit at any time of year - whether for outdoor activities, cultural experiences or simply to relax in nature. Set off and discover this enchanting destination in the Lindau am Bodensee district!

    Von Oberstaufen geht es zunächst im Tal entlang an vielen Wiesen und Bauernhöfen vorbei. In Sulzberg hat man nach einem knackigen Anstieg einen tollen Ausblick über den Bregenzerwald bis hin in die Schweiz. Dann geht es weiter nach Norden über Weiler nach Röthenbach, hierbei besonders schön der Abschnitt auf der ehemaligen Eisenbahnstrecke durch den Wald. Von Röthenbach kommt man dann wieder zurück nach Oberstaufen.

    Eine sehr schöne Route mit vielen leichtläufigen und kaum befahrenen Straßen, toller Landschaft und viel Sehenswertem. Die Strecke ab Hinterstaufen bis Immenstadt ist an Wochenenden und Feiertagen recht gut durch Mitradler*innen frequentiert. Unbedingt lohnenswert ist ein Abstecher zum Alpsee, wo es auch einen gut versteckten kleinen und ruhigen FKK-Strand gibt. Die Allgäu-Tour lässt sich hervorragend mit den Routen 'Radrunde Allgäu- Etappen 1-7', 'Illerradweg', 'Allgäu Radweg Achse der Radrunde Allgäu' und 'May-Nui 04 Allgäu 2015' kombinieren. Vielen Dank fürs Einstellen!

    Eine sehr schöne Tour, die die meiste Zeit dem Wasserweg 14 folgt. Wenn man von Röthenbach startet ist das letzte Stück ab der Hammerschmiede kein Rundwanderweg mehr und es geht viel bergauf und bergab, am Ende steht man an einer Straße und dreht wieder um. Ich persönlich würde diese Etappe weglassen auch wenn sie herausfordernd und wunderschön in der Natur liegt. Die Eisenbahnbrücke ist gigantisch!

    Sehr entspannte, leichte Tour auf guten Wegen und Nebenstraßen. Herrliche sanfte Topographie, hügelig mit häufiger Weitsicht und großen Weideflächen. Der Biergarten Badwirtschaft Malleichen ist einer der schönsten im Allgäu mit guter Küche zu fairen Preisen.
