Accommodation

Wiggensbach is idyllically situated between the mountains of the Allgäu and offers a breathtaking landscape with lush green meadows and clear lakes. The region is known for its pure air quality and picturesque hiking trails through the mountains. It is definitely worth a visit!

Tourist attractions include Neuschwanstein Castle, which is only 40 minutes away, and the nearby Lake Constance. Culture enthusiasts can look forward to the annual music festival or visit one of the many museums such as the Farmhouse Museum in Wolfegg.

Culinary Wiggensbach has a lot to offer - try local specialities such as Kässpatzen or enjoy a fresh beer from one of the local breweries.

The best outdoor activities are hiking in summer or skiing in winter at one of the surrounding ski areas such as the Grünten or the Fellhorn-Kanzelwand area. Mountain biking along the numerous trails is also very popular with tourists.

If it rains, we recommend a trip to the thermal baths in Nesselwang or visit a traditional alpine hut for a cosy time in bad weather.

Wiggensbach is at its best during spring when the landscape is in full bloom and during winter with snow-covered mountain peaks.

Overall, Wiggensbach offers a variety of activities for every traveller. This guide is designed to help you make the most of your stay!

Ich bin die Route von Marktoberdorf bis Kempten geradelt im Anschluss an die Strecke von Füssen bis Marktoberdorf (siehe hierzu die Tour 'Radrunde Allgäu - Etappe 1'). Die Allgäu-Tour lässt sich hervorragend mit den übrigen Routen 'Radrunde Allgäu- Etappen 2-7' und 'May-Nui 04 Allgäu 2015' kombinieren. Die Strecke von Marktoberdorf verlief auf kaum bis mäßig befahrenen Straßen mit sanften Steigungen und Gefällen durch schöne Landschaft. Vielen Dank fürs Einstellen! 👍

Really nice trail with a lake where you can take a nice break for a swim. Probably the best trail run one can do directly from Kempten.

Eine schöne Winterwanderung. die wir am 28.12.23 mit unserem Hund gemacht haben. Das letzte Stück auf dem Rückweg war wegen Baumfellarbeiten gesperrt, weshalb wir ein Stück an der Strasse zum Ausgangspunkt zurück laufen mussten. Das war aber kein Problem.

Schöne Tour von Wiggensbach zum Blender mit vielen schönen Waldwegen. Die Aussicht vom Blender ist fantastisch. Tipp: Nahe von Wiggensbach gibt's am Weg eine kleine Hütte wo man sich mit Getränken oder Produkten von Bauern aus der Region versorgen kann.
