A short vacation in the Allgäu
Allgäu or Allgovia is a region in the state of Bavaria, where holidaymakers of all ages come together for a short vacation or a long weekend to have the time of their lives. With such exquisite beauty around, hiking seems to be an obvious choice. You can opt for different levels of complexity, from slow walks at the lakes to climbs at the steep alpine hills. The spa and skiing resort of Oberstdorf is a hiking heaven as it is surrounded by magnificent mountains and picturesque valleys. The Hindelanger climb, which starts at the Nebelhorn peak, is an endeavor for experienced climbers, but rookies can take a cable car up and, after the descent, stop by the Geissalp Lake for a nice break. The Heilbronner Trail promises a lot of stunning landscapes, too. Forggensee - one of several azure lakes not far from the Neuschwanstein Castle, and the Breitachklamm Canyon will become the highlight of your trip to the Allgäu region. The castle contributes to the magic vibes of the area and wandering around its spacious rooms will be an exciting adventure for both adults and children. From the Marienbrücke bridge you will have a great view of the building. In the distance, you can see another gem worth visiting - Hohenschwangau Castle. Children will love to explore the fascinating area of the Allgäu. The Center of Nature Experience Allgäu offers events and field trips to learn everything about local plants and animals. In the Scheidegg zoo, little visitors can see exotic reptiles and spiders.
In winter, skiing, as well as other winter sports, are the top choices in the area. Fellhorn/Kanzelwand – Oberstdorf/Riezlern are the most popular among the many ski resorts here.
