"Oberallgäuer Rundwanderweg" – Round tour through the Oberallgäu

The pre-alpine landscape with its meadows, forests and lakes is an old farmland that thrives on dairy farming. Its various cheeses are famous far beyond the borders. The Allgäu Alps, summer pastures for cattle, are legendary destinations for hikers and mountaineers. With romantic valleys, grey rock faces and panoramic views that you can't get enough of. A varied tour for all those who prefer slow progress to relaxation and health rather than the fast pace of the car.

You can join this circular trail at any point along the route. Our description starts in the very north of the region, in Altusried, a place that is easy to reach. From here, the first stages of the route lead south. Hikers always have the mountains before their eyes, the most beautiful horizon to think of. Slowly it approaches: the main ridge of the Allgäu spreads out imposingly and shows its wild beauty. In Oberstaufen, the hikers start to climb uphill: the mountain stages wait.

The trail leads through the valley "Kleinwalsertal" and via Oberstdorf to Hindelang, where it slowly turns out of the mountains again. The hilly countryside awaits you again and the Iller, which dares a romantic breakthrough through the moraines before Altusried, in narrow loops through a deeply scored valley that is crossed to reach the starting point of the hike, Altusried, on the other side.
