Nature & Countryside
If you dream of experiencing nature at its most pure and unspoiled, you should visit Oberstdorf’s side valleys at least once in your lifetime. The Allgäu Alps are known for their diverse landscapes.
There are few places where you’ll find huge rocky mountains like the Trettach right next to steep grass mountains like the Höfats.
Oberstdorf’s side valleys
Oberstdorf’s side valleys and districts promise nature at its best and wild village romanticism
Nestled between steep mountain forests, the valleys are closed off to excursion traffic and offer completely undisturbed peace and quiet in a wild and romantic natural setting. The most stunning hiking and excursion opportunities invite you to explore.
In the Stillachtal Valley, you will not only find Germany’s most southerly inhabited village of Einödsbach, but also the beautiful hamlet of Birgsau. Other attractions include the Fellhornbahn cable car and the Heini Klopfer ski flying hill in its newly renovated form, inviting you to pay a visit.
The neighbouring Trettachtal Valley also has plenty to offer. Not only do the mountain farmers’ village of Gerstruben and the Christlessee Lake make this a popular destination, but the pretty hamlet of Spielmannsau also invites you to enjoy a leisurely hike.
You’ll pass by the Kühberg on the way to the Oytal Valley. The tree-lined lane takes you to the Gasthof Oytal, where the valley widens to offer a panoramic view of the mountain landscape. On your return, you can give your legs a rest by heading back out of the valley on an Oytal scooter.
The romantic Rohrmoostal Valley – with southern Germany’s oldest wooden chapel – is also worth a visit. Located in the Tiefenbach district, this hiking paradise has long-since belonged to a principality. Yet it is not just the Rohrmoostal Valley, but also the impressive Breitachklamm Ravine that makes the picturesque district of Tiefenbach well worth a visit.
