Hiking suggestions
Footpaths, hiking trails and more
Those who take on the 200 km walking network all around Oberstdorf, leave behind their stress, hectic pace and everyday life. Together with the neighboring Kleinwalsertal, Oberstdorf is the largest hiking and mountain sport area on the north edge of the Alps.

...runs from Oberstdorf past the golf course and
the Christlessee Lake to Spielmannsau – and can be
used by anyone. The small, Alpine settlement in
the heart of the Trettachtal Valley some seven kilometres
south of Oberstdorf is the perfect starting
point for many hikes. Thanks to its proximity to the
Kemptner Hütte, for example, this even includes
hikes along the E5 European long-distance hiking
route from Oberstdorf to Merano.
