Excursions & Activities in Allgäu and the Surrounding Region
Variety at every turn
The Allgäu Region is an especially beautiful corner of the world. There are interesting towns, idyllic places and exciting activities waiting for you to discover them at every turn. You don't have to go up in a balloon or sail a glider plane to enjoy them, but if you want to, you certainly can ...
This enchanting, small, medieval town, known for its violin and lute making, is located along the Romantic Road and the ancient Roman road Via Claudia Augusta and only 6 km away from Hopfen am See. The baroque monastery complex, the city walls and defence towers as well as the Hohe Schloss with its garden and the Old Town with Italian flair are worth a visit. There are also numerous museums which are exciting for sightseers.
The Allgäu metropolis, Kempten, Oberammergau with the artistic frescoes, the Zugspitze – Germany's highest mountain – and many other wonderful places are close enough for a day trip.
Or would you rather spend your holiday actively? Relax while golfing with a mountain panorama, enjoy the thrill up high in the treetops or swaying back and forth on the back of a camel? There are numerous options in the Allgäu region.
Our family will be happy to give you further tips - feel free to ask us!
