About Westallgäu
Das Westallgäu ist eine Voralpenlandschaft voller Schönheit und Harmonie. Die Hügel sind sanft geschwungen, die Täler lieblich und weit. Und am Horizont bilden schneebedeckte Berge den passenden Rahmen für ein zauberhaftes Landschaftsmosaik aus blühenden Wiesen, stillen Wäldern, malerischen Dörfern und einsam gelegenen Bauernhöfen. Perfekter Startpunkt für eine Wanderung oder eine genussreiche Radtour vorbei an traditionellen Sennereien.

At times tranquil, at times spectacular: The circular hike near Steibis begins gently and culminates in the wildest section of the entire Weißach Gorge, the Buchenegg Waterfalls.

But water was power and, for some monastery fathers, a tool to harass the citizens of the Free Imperial City…

The power of water formed the varied landscape of the West Allgäu. During the ice ages, huge glaciers carved out the valleys in a U-shape. In the warm periods that followed, numerous streams cut into the landscape formed by the glacier masses in a V-shape. There are several hikes around Scheidegg that…
