December 19, 2025,Wanderung zum abendlichen Christkindlmarkt am Vilsalpsee

Last workday before Christmas vacation. What to do after work? Relax. I drove to Tannheim to relax and then walked into the twilight to Lake Vilsalpsee and its Christmas market. 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. …

There on foot - back by bus.

A wonderful place for a Christmas market on the Vilsalpsee with a mountain panorama.

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.

Family trip to the Vilsalpsee.
And by the way, the path along the shore is not closed at the moment, so the path to the waterfall is open 😉

With mulled wine and Stollen by the lake in the bright sun on the frozen lake. It couldn't be more beautiful. There is even an electric car charging station. Maximum parking time is 4 hours.

January 21, 2024,Wanderung zum Vilsalpsee, die Zweite😄

Before we leave, we hike up to Vilsalpsee again.
The hot air balloons are rising again in Tannheim. The festival lasts until January 26th.
The Vilsalpsee now has a 17 cm thick layer of ice. Nevertheless, the edges and tributaries are still partly open🤔
We say goodbye to the beautiful Tannheimer Valley and are back home after a three-hour drive.
