December 15, 2024,🇦🇹 Christkindlmarkt am Vilsalpsee 👼❄️ 15.12.2024

Today we went to the Tannheimer Valley to the Christmas market at Vilsalpsee. Thanks @AllgäuWolperdinger and @Allgäu-Wiesele for the reminder 😉.

The small but lovely Christmas market is definitely worth a visit. The stalls sell culinary delicacies and beautiful goods. There is also quiet (!) music in the background.

I'd been there last Sunday at lunchtime, but I really wanted to experience the market in the evening atmosphere, when all the lights were on and reflected in the lake. …

January 19, 2025,🇦🇹 Vilsalpsee im Winter 🌞⛄️ 19.01.2025

Today we went from Tannheim to the Vilsalpsee. It is completely frozen at the moment, so you can walk in the lake instead of on the lake.

We had a very good meal in the new guesthouse on the Vilsalpsee. Even if the architecture does take some getting used to... 😉

April 27, 2024,🇦🇹☀️ Spaziergang zum Vilsalpsee 😎🧘🏼‍♀️ von Tannheim

To fully enjoy this ☀️day in the middle of the 🏔⛰🏔, we went to the Vilsalpsee.
As it was not possible to go around the lake due to the closure of the eastern shore due to a rockfall, we sat on the shore 🧘🏼‍♀️ and soaked up the sun - wonderful.
The danger of the weather also became apparent, as …
