Here’s to the future
Oberstdorf is the world’s very first municipality to use completely pollutant-free propellant techniques in their commuter traffic system.
The latest low-platform busses equipped with the latest-generation of electric and hybrid driving techniques, in addition to the fuel cell driven bus which is to be used as from the summer of 1998 for the first time ever in the world, just go to show that you don’t have to go without mobility for the sake of the environment. That also goes for the energy supply - 40% of the electric current comes from the municipality’s own hydroelectric power station, „Warmatsgund“ and Bavaria’s largest communal solar plant. The use of regenerative energy has been incorporated into the traffic policy of Oberstdorf’s environmental scheme. The first non-pollutant energy circulation has been concluded. With its pace-setting ecological conceptions, Oberstdorf heads the list as far as their compliance with the ... „local agenda 21“ is concerned. All these points go to show that it is even possible to become a pioneer by way of the motto „Back to nature“.

Protecting the environment is always a worthwhile issue. At Oberstdorf, all your senses benefit from it. The cleanness of the air is ranked first-class and even the taps provide refreshment at a mineral water quality with such a low sodium content that it is even suitable for preparing baby food.
The sun shines abundantly on the magnificent landscape and the soul also profits from the multifarious experiences made in such natural surroundings. Other factors are the varied climate levels that are naturally salubrious - from the mild climate down in the valley to the stimulating climate up in the mountains. Could there be any better reasons for doing good to your body and soul?
