Horst Graf Director of To ur
Dear Oberstdorf holidaymaker and hiking enthusiast, Feel like you’re living in an ever faster moving world? One where you’re facing increasing daily demands and have little time for your friends and family. This makes it all the more im portant to take some time out occasio nally, catch your breath and slow the world down for a while. A long hike is a great way to do this. Step by step, you progress at your own pace without any external distractions – except for the spectacular views of the sur rounding mountains of course. Often, you are completely alone with your thoughts in the midst of the diverse natural landscape. As you reach the summit, you feel proud of what you’ve achieved. It’s successful experiences like these that bring you happiness
ism
and create fond memories. After all, what could be better after a strenuous hike in the mountains than reminiscing about your summit climb over a hearty sandwich in a cosy hut?
head out on your own: if you prefer hiking with others, the extensive hik ing programme offered by Tourismus Oberstdorf (the Oberstdorf Tourist Association) is the perfect solution.
When taking time out, it’s not about climbing as many mountains as possi ble, but simply about getting out into nature and enjoying the healing properties of the Oberstdorf air. Spanning over 200 kilometres, the hiking network offers a route for everyone.
In reading the latest hiking brochure, you’ll find plenty of incentives to take some time out – after all, you’ve earned it!
Choose whether to marvel at the im pressive mountain summits from the Oberstdorf side valleys or to start by acclimatising at mid-altitude be fore venturing up to the high-Alpine peaks. Of course, you don’t have to
Yours,
Horst Graf Director of Tourism

Objective and local – first-hand Alpine information The Alpine information available in Oberstdorf is unlike any other in the Alps, with everything you need to know about the entire hiking region on a single website. Hiking is BOOMING! In view of this, it became clear to Tourismus Oberstdorf that dealing with the huge number of enquiries made in Oberstdorf would be an impossible task for one person alone. As a result, Moritz Zobel, Head of Alpine Information, created an extensive website. This is packed with so much detailed information that there are few questions left to ask. www.oberstdorf.de / alpininfo

Zämed duss The “Zämed duss” (“Sharing the outdoors”) campaign subtly encourages people to treat one another with respect. It also aims to remind people that they are all out and about for the same reason: to enjoy nature.
There are plenty of places for potential conflicts: a moun tain biker might zoom past a hiker far too quickly without proper warning, a hiker might amble along the middle of a trail without heeding other route users or someone might simply be having a bad day. There are many reasons for disputes between cyclists and walkers but both can make the effort to share the great outdoors in peaceful harmony.
The recipe for doing so is simple: Pay attention Be friendly ◼ Give hikers the right of way ◼ Protect nature ◼ Keep to marked trails ◼ ◼
After all, we all want to share the outdoors for as long as possible.

A fantastic outlook for summer How to enjoy the mountains Diverse, exciting and family friendly: the six large hiking areas in Oberstdorf and the Kleinwalsertal Valley offer unique mountain experiences for people of all ages. This summer, the Nebelhorn, Fellhorn / Kanzelwand, Söller eck, Heuberg, Walmendingerhorn and Ifen once again offer a broad range of options.
dr
Oberstdorf Nebelhorn The spectacularly beautiful Oberstdorf Nebelhorn is known for its impressive views of 400 mountain summits. The new mountain restaurant at the top of the Nebelhorn offers a 270-degree panorama for meals with the best views. The Nebelhorn is also attracting further visitors with a second highlight, which opened in the winter season 2016 / 17: the Nordwandsteig (north face walkway). This newly created walkway leads around the summit and gives many visitors a real thrill despite being optimally protected and completely safe. The Nebelhorn is the star ting point for not only easy walks and wheelchair and pushchair-friendly circular trails but also high-Alpine tours and the Hindelanger Klettersteig (via ferrata). Young visitors simply love the unique “Uff d’r Alp” alpine discovery nature trail as well as the climbing wall and huge playground. The newly created and easily walkable Höfatsweg trail from the Höfatsblick cable car station to the Zeigersattel reveals what makes the high mountain so special. Informative stations answer questions about geology, flora and fauna. The large Marktrestaurant at the Höfatsblick cable car station, the new summit restau rant and the glazed Gemsnest panoramic restaurant all offer mouthwatering meals.
Ifen There’s plenty to do and see in this rocky region, which fascinates with not only its magnificent rock formations but also the impressive karst plateau Gottesacker (ancient German name for a cemetery). In the summer, the middle station of the two-seater chair lift at 1,586 metres is the starting point for walks, hikes and challenging day trips. Food and drink can be obtained at the Ifenhütte, which overlooks the children’s playground and the Kneipp pool. Due to renovations, the Ifenbahn chair lift will not operate during the 2017 summer season.
Fellhorn Cross-border region with Kanzelwand This well-known floral paradise is the ideal destination for families with children and anyone who wants to ex perience the mountains first hand. Gentle circular hiking trails, streams, mountain lakes, an educational flower trail, mountain summits and magnificent views make for an unforgettable visit. The Burmiwasser adventure trail on the Kanzelwand is a particular favourite with children. Mountain restaurants with large sun terraces provide plenty of refreshments, while the Bergschau 2037 natural discovery centre in the Fellhorn summit station offers interesting information and spectacular views. 16
Heuberg The Heuberg chair lift whisks you up to the summit sta tion at 1,380 metres. High up yet not in the high Alps, a spectacular view of Hirschegg and Riezlern awaits you. The Kleinwalsertal Valley lies at the foot of the mountain, which also offers numerous mid-altitude ridgeways for you to stroll, walk or hike along to your heart’s content. This is also a popular region for mountain bikers, who can enjoy a diverse network of natural routes in a spec tacular mountain setting. They, too, can reach the summit on the chair lift – without any extra charge for their bike.

Söllereck
Walmendingerhorn
This mountain is primarily geared towards families with children. As such, there’s plenty for this target group to see and do here. There’s the large forest climbing park with a parcours with several levels of difficulty and the Allgäu Coaster, the rapid toboggan run on rails. The nature trail with interactive stations, geocaching and children’s playgrounds are also genuine highlights.
The perfect place to delight the senses and tantalise the taste buds, this mountain guarantees sublime experiences even in summer. The large sun terrace and impressive viewing platform offer bon vivants everything they need for a relaxing day: spectacular views, deckchairs, chilled music from the “mountain radio” and gastronomic de lights from the nearby summit restaurant.
Special offer: cable cars included A top deal! All the cable car tickets you need for the cross-border hiking region Oberstdorf / Kleinwalsertal Valley are included in the accommodation price with selected hosts.

IN THE VALLEY
Oberstdorf’s valleys are characterised by glacial drift from the latest ice age, which has been ongoing for 2.5 million years and has included both cold and warm periods. During the coldest of these, the glaciers in the Upper Allgäu reached heights of up to 2,000 metres, with only the highest summits in the Allgäu Alps protruding from the ice. The valley glaciers from Oberstdorf’s large side valleys gradually crept south, forming the terrain that is visible today (for example the Stillachtal Valley). Smaller side glaciers were unable to embed themselves as deeply and so created many little side valleys at a slightly higher altitude (for example the Dietersbachtal Valley). As the glaciers receded, emergent watercourses at their intersections formed deep canyons and ravines, like the present-day Hölltobel Ravine. At the end of the valleys, you’ll find impressive traces of the former valley glacier: steep, semi-circular trough heads, many of which tower to several hundred metres in height.

From Oberstdorf in all directions Oberstdorf’s side valleys and districts promise nature at its best and wild village romanticism Embedded 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. Further attractions include the Fellhornbahn cable car and the Heini-Klopfer ski flying hill, which gleams brightly in its newly renovated form, ready for the Ski Flying World Championships 2018. The Trettachtal Valley has plenty to offer. Not only do the mountain farmers’ village of Gerstruben and the Christ lessee Lake make this a popular destination, but the pretty hamlet of Spielmannsau also invites you to enjoy a leisurely hike. On route to the Oytal Valley, you will pass the Kühberg. The tree-lined lane takes you to the Gasthof Oytal restau rant, 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 Rohrmoostal Valley is a hiking paradise in the Tiefen bach district. It has long-since belonged to a principality and has the oldest wooden chapel in southern Germany. Reichenbach is famed for peace and quiet. In the summer, the impressive Gaisalpe, located at high altitude, offers spectacular views of the mountains. 20
Rubi is known for its many hours of sunshine and cosy eateries. A picturesque mountain church is located just above Schöllang, from where you can also enjoy spectacular views. The Tiefenbach district, best known for the impressive Breitachklamm Ravine, and the Rohrmoostal Valley are both enticing options on sunny days. Fantastic views of the Nebelhorn can be enjoyed in Kornau. The Söllereckbahn cable car is located nearby. The village is characterised by chapels and cosy, private accommodation.
i Spielmannsau mountain climbers’ line Line 9763, also known as the mountain climbers’ line, 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 kilo metres 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. A timetable and price information can be found at: www.oberstdorf.de / busfahrplaene

Christlessee Lake In the heart of the Trettachtal Valley, by the hamlet of Gottenried, this beautiful, legend-shrouded mountain lake with its blueish green water sits at an altitude of 916 metres. Just to the south of the lake are power ful springs, which feed clear water into the lake, giving it good drinking water quality. This explains the lake’s unique character, which is also what makes it so mysterious: even in severe minus temperatures, the Christlessee Lake doesn’t ever freeze. The lake’s clear water can therefore be marvelled in liquid format at any time of the year. The Christlessee Lake is within easy walking distance of Oberstdorf’s Mühlenbrücke bridge, from where a path leads past Gruben and Gotten ried to the legend-steeped lake in the Trettachtal Valley.
Source of the Iller The source of the Iller is located in Oberstdorf, where it is formed through the confluence of the Trett ach, Stillach and Breitach. As it starts to head north, the Iller winds its way through the Allgäu past the towns of Sonthofen, Immenstadt and Kempten. On the second half of its journey, the Iller flows through Upper Swabia, roughly marking the state border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, before joining the Danube in Ulm and continuing to the Black Sea. The Breitach’s source is in the Klein walsertal Valley, while the sources of the two other tributary rivers, the Trettach and Stillach, are located in Bavaria. The Iller’s source is within easy walking distance of Oberstdorf, just by the “in form park” fitness centre to the north of the village.

Suggested walks dx
From the Moorweiher Lake to the Trettachtal Valley Length: 6.6 km Duration: 2 hours
Elevation gain: 136 m
This diverse circular route starts and ends at the Mühlen brücke bridge near the Nebelhornbahn valley station. The shaded climb through the forest above the Trettach is particularly pleasant on hot summer days. You will quickly gain altitude and reach the picturesque plateau with the Moorweiher Lake. On reaching Oberstdorf’s historic Moor bad swimming pool, we recommend taking the path to the right around the picturesque lake as this is sunnier and
offers better views. The surrounding mountain peaks are often reflected in the Moorweiher’s peaceful water. This little gem is a great place to visit at any time of year! On the northern edge of the lake, a path that is largely pleasantly shaded leads past the Dienersberg to the Oberstdorf golf course. Here, the route follows the valley path for a short stretch to the Zwingbrücke bridge.

There are many hiking trails that lead to the sunny meadows in the south of Oberstdorf. Head along Haldenweg near the Nebelhornbahn cable car, Gertrud-von-le-Fort-Weg or Heuweg and it’s just a few minutes’ walk from the centre to trails with spectacular views. In the south-west, the causeways along the Stillach River form the borders of the southern lowlands area.
Useful info: The entire hiking route network in the meadows around Oberstdorf is ideal for both short and long walks with a pushchair.

Visiting the village Length: 10.9 km Duration: 4.5 hours
Elevation gain: 213 m
The hike begins to the north of the market community, following the wild Trettach to its confluence with Oberst dorf’s other mountain streams. This marks the source of the Iller, which flows to the Danube and on to the Black Sea. The route then continues with a brief visit to the pic turesque district of Rubi before climbing to a north ridge. With every metre you climb, the more spectacular the views of the basin and the Allgäu Alps around Oberstdorf. After
reaching what has to be one of the most beautiful vantage points in Oberstdorf, the trail leads along a varied route to the Schöllang mountain church. Some 80 metres above the valley, the area around the little church provides further panoramic views.

T o the Reichenbach forest playground
A fun-filled and varied family hike through the Oberstdorf districts The circular hike starts at the Dummelsmoosbrücke bridge in the north-east of Oberstdorf. From here, the Trettach causeway leads to the source of the Iller, where all three of Oberstdorf’s wild mountain streams meet and continue on their way to the Danube as the Iller. Length: 8 km Elevation gain: 121 m Duration: 2.5 hours (3.5 hours via the viewpoint) The route then follows the causeway for a short distance to Rubi. After a short detour to the Illersteg footbridge, the trail continues to the middle of the idyllic district. Following a short stretch along the main road, you have a choice: follow the route to the left, passing the village chapel and up a steep climb to the top of a hill. The short but sharp climb is rewarded with a stunning panoramic view of the Oberstdorf Basin and the Allgäu Alps. After following the ridge for a short distance, the path bears off to the right
back down a short but extremely steep section towards Reichenbach. Follow the signs and you’ll soon reach the forest playground. The second (more pushchair-friendly) option takes you off to the right in Rubi, along the meadow path to Reichenbach. You essentially pass your destination for the day on route. The forest playground itself offers a variety of beautifully created and natural play stations from the double-decker bus and Formula 1 car made from tree trunks to a forest bowling alley and an Indian tepee. Mums and dads can enjoy pleasantly shaded seats. The return route leads through Rubi (for people with pushchairs who reached the forest playground via the meadow path, initially retrace your footsteps) and along the sunny meadow path with its lovely views back to the Dummelsmoosbrücke bridge at the edge of Oberstdorf.
i Hiking with children Sturdy walking boots with a good tread are advisable for this route. Although recommended for children aged six and above, it will also be enjoyed by younger children if you take a pushchair or child carrier with you. If taking a pushchair, we recommend that you opt for the meadow path in Rubi and continue along this to wards Reichenbach. If you want to visit the look-out
point above Rubi, it is possible but you need to be fit and sure-footed, as well as to additionally secure the pushchair just in case. Buses regularly return to Oberstdorf from Reichenbach and Rubi. There are also places where you can stop off for a while. One option for hot summer days could be to end your hike with a visit to the Moorbad swimming pool in Reichenbach.

Agriculture in Oberstdorf The Oberstdorf “Gassenkühe” first head to the pastures in spring From early May to mid-September, the cows are driven through Oberstdorf’s lanes. After the long winter, the animals are visibly keen to return to the pastures daily again. Wiggling ears and raised tails are clear signs of happy cows – and ones that can be seen by anyone who finds themselves in Oberstdorf’s lanes in the mornings and evenings. This is when the “Gassenkühe” (literally “lane cows”) are driven along these to and from the Oberstdorf community pastures on the northern and southern edges of the town. The cows belong to several farmers. They know which stall is theirs and can practically find their way back to it on their own. Most of the cows wear small bells (and sometimes large
ones) so that they can be easily located on the pastures and meadows even in bad weather. The small bells have a leather strap and no fringe or similar adornments. The larger bells, on the other hand, are fringed and often only used during the traditional “Viehscheid” cattle drive. The bells sound very musical and the animals use them to orientate themselves within the herd. Oberstdorf “lane cows” usually wear the same small bell for life. A varied information brochure on agriculture and Alpine business in Oberstdorf is available from the Tourist Infor mation Offices. More about this topic can also be found at www.oberstdorf.de / landwirtschaft. www.oberstdorf.de / landwirtschaft In the valley

AT MID ALTITUDE
Layers of spotted marl deposits form the base of the Allgäu’s central main ridge and give rise to particularly fertile and quick-drying soil. As a result, most of the farmed alpine huts with cows have their lush green pastures on this surface. Boggy damp and straw meadows with many rare flowers and deep ravines are typical signs of a “flysch zone”. In the west, the rain water turned the Schrattenkalk formation in the Gottesacker area into one of the Alps’ most extraordinary karst landscapes. The almost complete lack of vegetation, the deep fissures and the rock crevices as well as the razor-sharp rock formations are all reminiscent of a fossilised glacier. From a distance, it can be compared with a sad, grey and endless cemetery.

Freibergsee Lake Located 930 m above sea level, the Freibergsee Lake has a water surface of around 18 ha, making it the Allgäu’s largest high mountain lake. The lake has a maximum depth of about 25 m and no visible inflows and outflows. Instead, these are located underground and regulate the periodically fluctuating water level. Thanks to its stunning location and excellent water quality, the Freibergsee has long been a popular Oberstdorf bathing destination. People of all ages delight 28
in the water temperatures of up to 25°C in Germany’s southernmost natural swimming pool. The large lakeside lawn and the wooden terrace are the perfect spots for a little sun bathing, while children can enjoy the playground. Furthermore, rowing and paddle boats are both available for hire. A restaurant with a large terrace overlooking the lake and a wide selection of dishes and local specialities provides all the refreshments you could need.

Gerstruben An unmistakeable fusion between tradition-steeped cultural heritage and tourist attraction in the Dieters bachtal Valley. Gerstruben can be regarded as Oberst dorf’s history book of mountain farm ing. The former Alpine village and agricultural gem today has five houses of between 400 and 500 years old, a traditional “Sennküche” restaurant, the old saw mill and a chapel. Until the end of the 19th century, the historic mountain settlement was still home to several farming families. With its sun-browned timber buildings and surrounding mountain landscape, it today provides a truly unique setting. The buildings have been lovingly restored and preserved for posterity in an exemplary manner. The Jakobe- Haus, a farm house preserved almost completely in its original form, is open to visitors. The picturesque little rooms and chambers are truly enchanting.
Einödsbach One valley on, at the foot of a breath taking mountain backdrop, the small village of Einödsbach marks the edge of the Stillachtal Valley. The Einödsbach mountain inn is Germany’s southernmost permanently inhabited building. The former village was originally made up of three houses and a chapel, built in the tightest of spaces and surrounded by the im pressive massif of the Allgäu’s main ridge. Today, only the inn is perma nently inhabited. Records of there being a settlement here date back to 1613. It’s also worth taking a brief detour to the Chapel of Saint Catherine, which can be reached by following the road from Birgsau. To the east, a hiking trail runs through the Bacher loch Gorge up to the Waltenberger Haus. To the south, the route leads into the Rappenalptal Valley.

Suggested hikes dx
Anderl Heckmair memorial route Length: 5.3 km Elevation gain: 667 m Duration: 2.5 hours By hiking from the Söllereckbahn summit station to the Alpe Schlappold hut on the Fellhorn, you follow in the footsteps of the famous mountaineer Anderl Heckmair and discover numerous information boards with fascinating facts about various stages of his life. For example, about the early days of his explorations in the Eastern and Western Alps and the Dolomites, which he embarked upon back in the late 1920s. First, you will reach the rustic Sölleralpe hut, above which the ridge trail towards the Fellhorn begins. Away from the well-developed paths that link the cable cars, this takes you
through sections of Alpine terrain. Several slightly exposed passages have steel cables for your protection. After passing the Schlappoldeck and the Schlappoldsee Lake, you will reach the Fellhornbahn middle station, from where a cable car will comfortably transport you down into the Stillachtal Valley in the far south of Germany.
i
T his route description is not shown on the map as a specific suggested hike as it is a way to connect the Söllereck and Fellhorn with many possible start and end points.
Hike into the Stillachtal Valley Length: 13 km Elevation gain: 208 m Duration: 3 hours This hike offers you lovely views as you head across the sunny meadows in the south of Oberstdorf and along the wild Stillach River to the Heini-Klopfer ski flying hill. Note that the hill’s magnificent view over the Freibergsee Lake and the Stillachtal Valley is not for the faint hearted though! From the ski flying hill, continue up the road to wards Schwand and Ringang, an impressive plateau to the south of the Freibergsee Lake. From here, the sunny trail
with its panoramic views heads back downhill, passing the Fellhornbahn valley station and Anatswald to Birgsau. For many people, this is the rewarding and picturesque end point for the hike. If you’ve not yet had enough though, we recommend the climb through the mountain forests to Einödsbach. After visiting Germany’s southernmost inhabited village, simply retrace your footsteps to Birgsau from where regular buses will take you back to Oberstdorf.

To the historic mountain farmers’ village of Gerstruben Length: 12 km Elevation gain: 348 m Duration: 4 hours Starting from the west bank of the Mühlenbrücke bridge, the path to the Jägerstand café provides a varied route towards the Trettachtal Valley. The idyllic trail from the Jäger stand café to Dietersberg and Gottenried keeps your hike interesting with multiple picturesque views. Down in the Trettachtal Valley, continue along the near-natural Rautweg trail through the dense protective forests of the Kegelkopf and up to Gerstruben. On reaching the entrance to the Dietersbachtal Valley, it is not far to the former mountain farming village of Gerstruben – now entirely protected by a preservation order. The picturesquely located, sun-browned timber houses are up to 500 years old and offer an impressive
30
backdrop for a short journey back in time. From Gerstruben, it is well worth taking a detour to the end of the high valley where the cosy Dietersbachalpe hut offers both the chance for a short break and impressive Alpine views. The highly impressive and adventurous but also demanding descent option is via the Hölltobel Ravine just below Gerstruben. Here, a suspended viewing platform enables you to see deep down into the gorge’s interior. The alternative option of descending via the main road is far easier and still offers great views of the surrounding mountains. On reaching the valley, several multi-faceted trails lead back to Oberstdorf

I dyllic mountain setting above the Stillachtal Valley
From the Schönblick to the Hochleite to the Freibergsee Lake – a wealth of viewpoints and places of natural beauty After ascending on the Söllereckbahn cable car, we take the time to enjoy the spectacular view of the Upper Allgäu region from the Schönblick. Length: 10 km Elevation gain: 206 m Duration: 3 to 4 hours If you like to challenge your fitness, you can also ignore the cable car and ascend to this point on foot. The nature trail with its many interesting stations then takes us across the Hühnermoos, a high moor with unique flora and fauna, and through a shady mountain forest to the Hochleite. On route, we are regularly greeted by spectacular views of the Oberstdorf Basin and the upper Stillachtal Valley. The Hochleite is a plateau that sits high above the Stillachtal Valley and slopes upwards to the north. In the midst of the pastures in which cows are reared in the summer, our hike becomes flatter and sunnier. In addition to the all-round mountain panorama, little ones in particular will be espe cially impressed with the view down into the Stillachtal
Valley and over the main massif of the Allgäu Alps! At the end of the plateau, a varied descent takes us through idyllic mixed forests and across clearings with spectacular views to Schwand. After passing this little hamlet, there is still plenty more of interest to come. A visit to the nearby, newly renovated Heini-Klopfer ski flying hill is a lofty and impressive expe rience. The Ski Flying World Championships will take place there in 2018. The Dr.-Reh-Weg path then continues further north along the right-hand side of the Freibergkessel Basin. If you want to admire the picturesquely located Freibergsee Lake in its full splendour, a short detour to the viewing point to the north of the lake at the Seeblick café and hotel is extremely worthwhile. The final section of the hike leads down a slightly steeper, woody descent to the lower Renkstegbrücke bridge and from there across the sunny meadows back to Oberstdorf.
i Hiking with children Sturdy, ankle-high walking boots with a good tread are advisable for this route. The hike is recommended for children aged four and above. Hiking tours with children (from a simple walk to an Alpine mountain
tour) are largely dependent on the little ones’ motivation and a good amount of fun and adventure. You should therefore look into all details (directions, route lengths, places for breaks etc.) before setting off.

Alpine farming in Oberstdorf: dairy huts Dairy huts or “Sennalpen” are alpine huts with pastures where dairy cows are reared. These are milked twice a day. The farmer, who is also a dairyman and therefore a qualified cheesemaker, uses the milk to create our fabulous mountain cheese on site. In addition to mountain cheese, the farmers also make mountain butter, yogurt, quark and various other types of cheese. The dairy huts are managed by the farmers’ families.
You can try the products directly on site. There is nothing better than a hearty snack of bread and cheese washed down with a glass of milk to sate your hunger and thirst when hiking. There are also several alpine huts that don’t produce their own dairy products but are still great places to visit. Combined with a hike or a hearty snack made from local products, an unforgettable experience is guaranteed.

AT ALPINE ALTITUDE
The Main Dolomite is a primary rock formation in the limestone Alps and one of the oldest types of rock in the Allgäu Alps.
Some 200 million years ago, the layer of stone formed on a subtropical mud flat that was hostile to life. Although originally deposited the deepest, when the fold mountains were formed, it was pushed up on top of all newer earth and rock layers. As such, the Main Dolomite today forms the hugely rocky and impressive peaks of the Allgäu’s central main ridge from the Hochvogel to the Biberkopf and Widderstein. Also characteristic of the Allgäu Alps are the extremely weathering- resistant aptychi layers. Together with the spotted marl limestones, which are also extremely long-lasting, these were raised up during the creation of the Allgäu Alps and modelled through the weathering of the softer rocks that surrounded them. Especially in the case of the summits and rugged mountain ridges of the Höfats and the Schneck, this resulted in the mountains that are characteristic of the Allgäu Alps.

Multi-day hikes 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. Well-maintained mountain paths, ridgeways and via ferratas together with seven different shelters enable you to enjoy this unique landscape, Swabia’s largest nature reserve, to the full. Depending on weather conditions, the rustic mountain huts are open from mid-June to mid-October. Some huts are even open from the end of May. Seven huts are located within a day’s climb of Oberstdorf. From there, you can choose between nine hut connection routes of various difficulties.
Ibex route: Straight across the Allgäu Alps. Over lush, green pastures today and rocky mountain peaks tomor row. Past traditional Sennalpen (dairy huts) and through mountain meadows blanketed with flowers! E5 – from Oberstdorf to Merano: The hike across the Alps from Oberstdorf to Merano is a truly unforgettable experience! Border route: The manageable level of difficulty plus the clear climbs and daily stages make this a popular route for beginners and families.

Fiderepasshütte – Mindelheimer Hütte From the Fiderepasshütte, the route starts by heading uphill to the magnificent viewpoint of the Fiderescharte. From there, there are two options for continuing to the Mindelheimerhütte.
Via the Krumbacherhöhenweg Ridgeway: 3 hours, 360 m elevation gain, 4.84 km
◼
Via the Mindelheimer Klettersteig (via ferrata): 5 hours, 4.5 km
◼
Mindelheimer Hütte – Rappenseehütte The standard route leads along the Schrofen Pass and the Mutzentobel Ravine and offers plenty of spectacular views but is also very exposed in parts. Although a technically simple route, it certainly gives your thighs a workout.
Via the Schrofen Pass: 5 hours, 702 m elevation gain, 8.57 km
◼
Via the Eselsweg trail: 5 hours, 833 m elevation gain, 7.33 km
◼
Rappenseehütte – Waltenberger Haus Follow the best known ridgeway in the Allgäu Alps, making your way along mountain passes with protective steel cables over mostly rocky terrain. Sure-footedness and a good head for heights are prerequisites for this via-ferrata-like ridgeway.
Via the Bockarscharte: 5 hours, 664 m elevation gain, 4.24 km
◼
Prinz-Luitpold-Haus – Edmund-Probst-Haus This scenic route between huts offers a unique experience in terms of Alpine flora. With several exposed sections, it requires both sure-footedness and a head for heights.
4 hours, 726 m elevation gain, 9.5 km
◼
Waltenberger Haus – Kemptner Hütte A demanding climb leads to the Bockarscharte. From there, continue across the snowy fields at the foot of the Mädele gabel, then over the magnificent mountain meadows to the Mädelejoch.
Via the Bockarscharte: 4 hours, 550 m elevation gain, 6.52 km
◼
Enzianhütte – Rappenseehütte The short but picturesque route starts with a gentle uphill section along an often pleasantly shaded trail to the Muss kopfsattel before a following steeper, sunny section of winding trail to the Rappenseehütte.
1 hour, 317 m elevation gain, 2.07 km
◼
Kemptner Hütte – Prinz-Luitpold-Haus A particularly demanding day stage that requires excellent fitness but impresses with not just the Höfats, the land mark of the Allgäu Alps, but also the sheer natural diversity.

Suggested routes eh
Hindelanger Klettersteig Length: 8.5 km Elevation gain: 338 m Duration: 5 hours Start by enjoying a leisurely summit ride on the Nebelhorn bahn cable car. Just below the station, a small mountain path heads towards the via ferrata starting point. The route up to the arête of the Western Wengenkopf starts with an about 10 m long ladder. From the summit, which, on a clear day, offers panoramic views of the Zugspitze and into Switzerland, follow the rocky crest along the protective steel cables, up ladders and along rocky cols and exposed arête passes towards the Eastern Wengenkopf. For beginners
Heilbronner Weg to the Bockkarscharte Length: 4.24 km Elevation gain: 571 m Duration: 4 hours From the Rappenseehütte, the Heilbronner Weg climbs the large stone col to the Wiesleskar Cirque. A winding trail then continues upwards. On finally reaching the rocky terrain of the Hohes Licht, you may need your hands for support for the first time. The steep climb leads to a rock ledge on the east face of the Hohes Licht before continuing uphill at a slightly more leisurely gradient. Several exposed or difficult sections are equipped with steel cables for your protection. After a few more metres, the route continues uphill to the small stone col. After a little aluminium bridge,
Bergtour aufs Rubihorn Length: 13.5 km Elevation gain: 1,137 m Duration: 6 hours The route starts from the Nebelhornbahn middle station. Alternatively, the first almost 500 metres of elevation gain can be climbed via the Faltenbachtobel Ravine to the Seeal pe. The ascent to the summit takes you across the Roßbichl’s flowery mountain meadows before steeply winding its way up to the arête. The last few metres to the Niedereck involve a strenuous climb through dense mountain pines with steel cables for your protection. On reaching the arête, continue uphill to the summit of the Rubihorn. Several slightly exposed sections are equipped with protective steel cables. A fascinating panoramic view of the Allgäu Alps awaits

who decided to try a taster route lasting about 2 hours, the first interim descent point now leads back to the cable car station via the Koblat. If you continue to the end of the via ferrata below the Großer Daumen, you will now need to use multiple climbing aids, protective wire cables and iron ladders. This again requires a good fitness level. Athletic mountaineers with good stamina can extend the climbing route over the Kleiner Daumen and the Rotspitze to Breiten berg above Hinterstein.

the route becomes embedded in the rock once more and heads downhill towards the Socktalscharte where you will find an emergency descent route to the Waltenberger Haus. From the col, the route winds its way up to the summit of the Bockkarkopf. The rugged and rocky descent from the Bockkarkopf once again requires a great deal of concentration and sure-footedness. The more demanding section of the Heilbronner ridgeway ends at the Bockkarscharte, from where the route continues along gentler terrain over the Schwarze Milz and the Mädelejoch to the Kemptner Hütte.

you at the summit! The descent starts by returning a short way below the arête before heading down initially very steep slopes to the lower Gaisalpsee Lake. This invites you to stop and fully enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery from your still high-up position. Below the mountain lake, the route descends down a steep and slightly rocky pass to the charmingly situated Gaisalpe. From here, follow the Wallrafweg trail along the west side of the Rubihorn back to Oberstdorf. If you want to descend straight back into the valley, you can alternatively take one of two possible descent routes to Reichenbach.

Manfred Häusler Tourismus Oberstdorf hiking guide
Via ferratas The courageously and adventurously created iron ways in the Allgäu Alps are among the most popular and most scenic via ferratas in the Alps. Oberstdorf’s via ferratas take you to impressive heights and provide breathtaking views for both begin ners and pros when climbing. The Hindelanger Klettersteig on the Nebelhorn is one of the most famous classics of its kind. On tackling the Mindelheimer Kletter steig, one of the most beautiful and popular iron ways in the Northern
Alps, phenomenal views and a via ferrata experience at its best are guaranteed. The demanding route provided by the cross-border sports via ferrata with exposed traverses and strenuous climbing sections will challenge even experienced climbers and mountaineers. The Heilbronner ridgeway on the Allgäu’s main central crest has been one of the Alps’ most stunning and popular ridgeways for over a hundred years.

Cross-border mountain tour to the Fiderepasshütte
A day trip with magnificent views and a manageable level of Alpine difficulty The ascent on the Fellhornbahn cable car gets a large part of the elevation gain out of the way. If you don’t want to miss out on the Fellhorn summit, stay on the cable car to the summit station. Length: 12 km Elevation gain: 870 m Duration: 5 hours If you do so, however, you will have to start the mountain tour with a short downhill section. Kinder on the knees and still with wonderful views is the route from the Schlappold see middle station via the Bierenwangalpe hut. Away from the well-developed hiking trails that connect the cable car stations, an Alpine climb surrounded by flowers leads past the ruined Roßgundalpe and the Kühgundhütte (not serviced) to the Fiderepasshütte. Far-reaching views into the Stillachtal Valley and over many of the summits
in the Allgäu Alps remain your constant companions. Al though the ridgeway initially climbs gradually, the final section to the hut gets slightly steeper. Here, the route snakes its way upwards over scree. On reaching the shelter, you shouldn’t miss the great food. The Fiderepass marks the border between Germany and Austria. The descent on the far side of the pass offers views of the mountains in the Kleinwalsertal Valley, especially of the Hoher Ifen and Gottesacker plateaus. If you don’t yet want to descend, you can take in another summit via the serviced Kuhgehrenalpe hut. On returning to the cable car area, the Kanzelwandbahn will take you back into the valley. Alternatively, descend via the Fluchtalpe hut, down one of the easiest hut trails in the Allgäu Alps.
i Hiking with children Sturdy, ankle-high walking boots with a good tread are essential for this Alpine route! Sure-footedness and good physical fitness are also required. We furthermore recommend that you carry plenty to drink and a small snack to keep you going. The day trip
is recommended for children aged seven and above. Hiking tours with children are largely dependent on the little ones’ motivation and a good amount of fun and adventure.

Alpine farming in Oberstdorf: young stock pastures Some 1,400 young cattle spend their summer on the Oberstdorf young stock pastures or “Galtalpen” Young cows aged between one and three years that do not yet produce milk are also classed as young stock. As summer progresses, the farmers drive the young stock ever higher into the mountains, from one “Galtalpe” to the next.
at the highest altitude of about 2,000 m above sea level. There are no roads or paved routes to these pastures; the farmers must carry any necessary belongings and food themselves. As a result, the herds of cattle are often accompanied by donkeys, which are used as packhorses.
Unlike “Sennalpen” where the cows’ milk is processed on site, the cattle on the young stock pastures are left to their own devices. As such, young stock pastures don't normally have serviced huts.
Unexpected snowfall in high summer is a frequent pheno menon in the Allgäu Alps. This change in weather can sometimes be dangerous for the animals. Constant rain softens the ground so the cattle can no longer find a firm footing. Additional aids become necessary.
The cows are either looked after all day by smallholder farmers or kept in a large, fenced-off area. This prevents anything from happening to them and keeps them away from crevices or other hazardous areas. The young stock pastures are located at various altitudes. The young cattle often remain near the lowest hut for one or two weeks. They then move on to the second hut, followed in some cases by a third hut in high summer. This will be
The Alpine summer traditionally ends with the “Viehscheid” cattle drive when the young cattle are driven back down into the valley from the young stock pastures. On reaching the “Scheidplatz” (literally “dividing place”), the herd is divided up and owners can guide their young cattle back to their stalls.

The Breitachklamm Ravine Visit the deepest and one of the most beautiful rocky gorges in Central Europe
The Breitach River “bubbles and burbles and roars and gurgles” through the narrow gorge with vertical, overhanging walls that tower to almost 100 metres in height, thundering over high shelves of rock, gushing through deep pools and spraying the finest droplets that dance in the light.
Informative film
Many of the dark ravine walls haven’t seen the sunlight for thousands of years.
Guided tours
Whatever the season, whether summer or winter, the Breitachklamm Ravine in Tiefenbach near Oberstdorf is open for your enjoyment all year round – with the exception of the snowmelt period and late autumn. Formerly known as the “große Zwing”, the Breitachklamm is well worth a visit even on rainy days: the hiking trail through the deep canyon provides excellent protection against the wind and bad weather. When winter comes and the raging stream that sweeps through the gorge from the Kleinwalsertal Valley towards Oberstdorf transforms into bizarre ice sculptures and the impressive rock walls are covered in huge icicles, a particularly stunning natural spectacle is created. You definitely shouldn’t miss the chance to visit this unique natural monument! A visit to the Breitachklamm can also be combined with other subsequent hikes. One option is the popular circular trail: on leaving the Breitach klamm, after the upper ticket sale point, a hiking route leads to the “Zwingsteg”, a bridge that crosses the ravine at a dizzying height. You can then follow the circular trail past the Dornachalpe or Sesselalpe huts back to the start of the Breitachklamm. Although the trail through the Breitachklamm is well protected, sturdy footwear is still a must! 46

“Viehscheid” cattle drives in Oberstdorf and Schöllang Celebrations to end the summer in the pastures The cattle drives on 12 / 09 and 13 / 09 are a long-standing tradition. When the grazing period comes to an end in September and nothing bad has happened to any of the animals, it’s time for the Oberstdorf and Schöllang Viehscheid days. These tradition-steeped cattle drives mark the end of the summer in the Alpine pastures. Followed by his herd, the farmer leaves the pasture with his leading cow (known as the “Kranzrind”). This is the finest cow in the herd, which is adorned with a magnificent crown made from twigs, flowers and ribbons. As the cows wind their way down into the valley, their bells ring out for miles around – much to the delight of all locals and guests. The word “Viehschied” indicates that the cattle (“Vieh”) are separated (“geschieden”) in a large square. Each cow returns to its owner and its stall. This unique event is accompanied by an impressive community festival with brass band music, hearty traditional dishes and superb Allgäu beer. Oberstdorf’s crown maker, Jule Schleich, is one of the few crown makers to still use traditional methods 54
to create the headdresses worn by the finest cow in each pasture during the end-of-season cattle drive. The mirrors integrated into the headdress are said to ward off evil spirits from along the wayside during the procession. The lead cow is always pre-selected up on the pasture on the basis of certain beauty ideals. However, only if all the cattle on a pasture have been free from illness, falls or other strokes of bad luck throughout the entire summer can this deco rated lead cow be led to the herd separation point by the farmer. The Oberstdorf Viehscheid takes place annually on 13 Sep tember, unless this falls on a Sunday, in which case it is postponed by a day. In 2017, the date falls on a Wednesday. The animals in the district of Schöllang usually return from the Alpine pastures on 12 September, subject to the same Sunday rule as above. In 2017, the date falls on a Tuesday.

Villa Jauss

Art and culture Thanks to the hard work of the “Villa Jauss e.V.” initiative, over the last 15 years the magnificent timber building in the Fuggerpark has become a true cultural stage for Oberstdorf and the entire Allgäu. After acquiring the “Zur goldenen Sonne” brewery and inn in the centre of Oberstdorf in 1881, Melchior Jauss had a home constructed for him at Fuggerstraße 7 in 1895. In 1961, the Jauss family sold their protected villa to Markt Oberstdorf for age reasons. From 1997, the aforementioned association took over the renovation and use of this architectural jewel with art exhibitions, small concerts and readings. A classical modernism graphics foundation provides the basic works for a year-round exhibition, which is annually updated with several special exhibitions. Enjoy the special flair and cultural works offered by the villa.

You have to move with the times Oberstdorf then and now
No other event has so sustainably influenced Oberstdorf’s development as the construction of the rail line to it in 1888. Until the mid-17th century, Oberstdorf was regarded as a remote, sleepy mountain village, only accessible via impassable roads. The only way to reach the village was on foot or by horse and cart. An improvement was seen in 1853 when the village was connected to the post bus net work. The meagre transport conditions only really impro ved when the railway came to the Allgäu, although this initially ended at Immenstadt. The journey from there to Oberstdorf still had to be made in stage and post coaches. In 1873, the “Vicinalbahn” rural railway opened to Sontho fen. Little by little the line was gradually nearing Oberst dorf and the desire for it to be extended to Germany’s southernmost municipality grew. A public group made up of interested parties from Altstädten, Fischen and Oberst dorf finally got the project rolling. Prince Regent Luitpold granted the concession for the railway section in Septem ber 1886 and an engineering firm was commissioned with the work. After the designs had been confirmed by the head office of the company Lokalbahn AG in Munich, the first necessary plots of land were purchased in July 1887. Nothing more stood in the way of the start of the cons truction work on 01 September. The construction phase lasted until summer 1888. On 29 July 1888, the time had fi nally come: the railway section to Oberstdorf was opened! The opening celebrations were attended by guests from near and far.
The whole of Oberstdorf celebrated the new stretch of rail way line. The invited guests were treated to a sumptuous dinner, and even little ones got to enjoy a special treat as part of the day’s celebrations: all Oberstdorf school child ren received a sausage, a bread roll and, somewhat unbe lievably nowadays, a beer! The Oberstdorf rail line was open and started to provide a regular service. Over the years, not only was there an increase in visitor numbers, but the station building also became ever larger and more comfortable. By 1909, direct trains ran from Munich and Bruchsal to Oberstdorf. This once again brought more guests to the area. Oberstdorf and its railway line were unable to remain entirely unscathed by the First World War, the years of inflation and the coal shortage, which led to fewer spa guests. From the summer timetable of 1986, the Oberstdorf railway station became a “holiday destination station”, where spa guests were met directly and offered accommodation. Even though road traffic has taken away the railway’s former importance, there’s one thing you shouldn’t forget: over the last 100 years, it has played a major part in the development of trade, in dustry and the economy in the Upper Allgäu, as well as in the sustainable development of Oberstdorf to a top holiday destination.

In a climatic health resort, nurturing factors and stimulating impetuses can be administered in such a way as to support people’s health. Nega tive factors are largely excluded. In recent times, regular fine dust measurements have also gua ranteed the high quality of the air. Thanks to con sistent traffic calming measures, targeted urban planning and forestry programmes, nature and man still live in harmony. In addition to the com mitment to a healthy climate, the Premium Class locations also take care of nature in all other areas too. For example, they primarily use local 70
products in order to protect their own landscape. Oberstdorf has been a recognised Kneipp location since 1964. The Kneipp-based understanding of a healthy life and natural healing looks at the person as a whole and aims to maintain or restore good health. It is with good reason that Oberstdorf, as one of few healing resorts in Germany, has twice been awarded the top title of “Heilklimatischer Kurort und Kneippkurort” (Climatic health resort and Kneipp health resort). As such, Tourismus Oberstdorf offers you a very special service to enable you to optimally plan your holiday and health wishes.

Germany’s first hiking map for wheelchair users Detailed route descriptions for disabled-friendly hikes Oberstdorf has become the first German municipality to introduce a map for disabled-friendly hikes. AVA-Verlag worked in cooperation with Bundesverein barrie refreier Tourismus e. V. and Hotel Viktoria in Rubi to first publish a map with detailed route descriptions in 2009. When on holiday, this makes it quick and easy for you to find routes that allow you to explore and enjoy Oberst dorf’s unique mountain world in a wheelchair. Whether
along a wild mountain stream, through idyllic forests or in a wild and romantic valley – large parts of Oberstdorf’s trail network are fully accessible for wheelchair users. The roads in the Trettachtal, Stillachtal and Rohrmoostal Valleys are even tarmacked and closed to general traffic. The map can be purchased from the Oberstdorf Tourist Information Offices for €5.
