Leisure time variety
With a wealth of leisure and excursion options, the Allgäu is a true paradise for active vacationers and not just for cyclists and hikers. Every day brings something new- slides in the leisure pool, fast rides on the alpine roller coaster. There is always something going on.
Whether you are a music or culture lover, there are numerous events, exhibitions and museums. It's no secret that customs and traditions are still very important in the Allgäu, so experience them for yourself!
Tradition and customs
- Every year, the end of the alpine summer is celebrated with a traditional ‘Viehscheid’. You can hear the loud ringing of bells as festively decorated, brown cattle return from the mountains to the valley. It truly is an unforgettable experience!
- In December, spookily dressed figures parade through the villages and alleys of the Alpine region during the so-called Klausentreiben. With big bells and rods, evil winter spirits are chased away!
Landscape and nature experiences
- The deepest rock gorge in Europe is located in the neighboring Kleinwalsertal (small Walser valley). The Breitachklamm (Breitach gorge) is a fascinating natural experience and displays the true power of water. A great excursion destination at any time of the year - even on rainy days!
- Impressive rocky outcrops and a blooming variety of plants. The Nagelfluhkette Nature Park stretches over 405 square kilometers (156 sq. miles) between the Hörner villages and the Bregenz Forest.
