Route description for Hiking holiday in the Allgäu

Here we go. The car is packed and ready to go! We don't have bikes this time. Yes, we want to go hiking. But first we go to the lake stage in Bregenz. We are very happy and hope for nice weather!

Arrived and we were very lucky. No traffic jams and just before the finish line, some rain. The autobahn towards Bregenz is closed anyway due to flooding. Certainly free again soon. Was a nice ride!

As always, we received a warm welcome. Right on the lake and pretty big. You can always find a spot there. Jumped straight to the water and chilled a bit. Dressed up after dinner and walked to the lake stage.

What a great idea. Always surprising. Went for a glass of wine with friends afterwards. Such a great day!!

The weather is great and we decide to extend it by one day. Want to go hiking in Bregenz. The local mountain is worth a tour but not easy to climb after the storm. At the top there is a small animal park, a playground and of course a restaurant. Enjoyed the great view and descended via a beautiful path. In the evening we sat again at the lake stage and enjoyed the atmosphere. Was a great day!!

A new day and new plans. We actually wanted to stay a day longer, but the ships only go on weekends. Otherwise we would probably have explored the lake. So pack your things and let the journey continue. Didn't have to drive far. To the "Ice Creamer". A small gorge and really very beautiful. Two large parking lots await the numerous hikers. Be there early on weekends! Some also stay here. But we prefer to keep going. Tomorrow we're going up the mountain! But it was nice! Walked 6 km and enjoyed nature. A great introduction to the Allgäu!

Well, that was a nice ride... Allgäu, blue sky and sun - a dream. Found the place quickly. Located in the village of Steibis directly on the through road. Lots of curves up here. I would not have liked to go back there. But we find a nice place and set ourselves up comfortably. You have to register in the adjoining workshop. Just ring. Really nice here and everything well thought out. The ramps that are provided help against the incline. The view is great. Open the door and the mountains look in! Great! Unfortunately also the adjacent street! But you get used to it. Now let's explore and go to the beer garden!

We are still in Steibis and are happy about the great weather and the beautiful view. Had a good night and sunny morning. The road was not very disturbing at night. But during the day it is very present. But we're on the way there anyway.

Yes, we had several ideas to spend the day. We then agreed on a nice hike. To the waterfall and the "Hochgrat". A neat way. Phew.... But it was worth it. There was a service on the mountain with a sunset party. A really good vibe. Even with a chapel! We had fun. You can find out about planned events on the Bergbahn website. It's really worth it!

The way home went through the dark forest. Huuuu... But that also had something.

There was a delicious wine on the pitch and a great view of the starry sky. What a day!

A new day and a new place! Even if it was very nice on the "Hochgrat", we wanted to continue! The Allgäu is quite large and there is still a lot to explore! After a short drive we move into a great place at the "Alpsee". What luck! Anyone who can is sitting by the water right now! We use the unexpected luxury to do the laundry. Very nice here and we were greeted nicely. Let's see what's going on. Here you can not only swim, but also great hiking!

After the meal we started right away. Simply along the promenade and eventually into the forest. Everything well signposted. About 200 meters in altitude have to be mastered. But it is a nice path with a view of the lake. As a reward, there's a delicious snack on an alp and a cold beer. What a pleasure..... In addition funny guests. What more do you want. The way back leads across colourful, lush meadows and peaceful cows graze everywhere. Great! Once at the bottom, it's quite easy to follow the circular path to the campsite! We use the luxury offered and take a long shower. We want to continue tomorrow. It was nice here!!

Well, after a short drive with the usual traffic jams, we arrived in Oberstdorf perfectly! A big square in the middle of the city. Parked safely and started straight away. Registration is only possible in the morning or in the evening! Simply fill out the form and hand it in. Here there are showers, toilets, etc. Shopping is also nearby. Very cool. Parking is close together. parking space. We are here to hike and we don't care. The main thing is a place to sleep. So we rush off to the bus station and drive to the Walsertal! Very cool. Much better than looking for a parking space there forever! Hope we can do it all!!

Great!! The bus stops right at the valley station and we drive straight up the mountain. This is great fun! What a view!! When we got to the top, we had to leave right away. About 9 km over the Fellhornstieg to the Söllerbahn. This is said to be one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the Allgäu. And that's it! The landscape is just terrific! In addition this great weather with the distant view. What luck! You should be at the station by 5 p.m. at the latest. So run fast and don't take too many breaks. Arrived at the mountain station at exactly 4 p.m. and was able to drink a delicious yeast! Was for a tour!! Perfect! A few meters of altitude are to be denied. Good shoes and walking sticks are recommended. On the last piece, some climbing is also announced. So better only do it in good weather! Then down the hill and take the bus back to the campsite! Worked great! In the evening again in the place. Good food!! Do we deserve it!

Still in Oberstdorf on the pitch. I have no idea why people are complaining here... we are very happy. Lots of space and a great wash house. Everything clean and quite new. Of course, some cars are very close together, but that's intentional. The shady places are just coveted! Overall a good location, couldn't be better. We'll definitely be back.

Of course we went hiking again today. Between the mountains to the "Gutenalp". No walk in the heat. Are about 250 meters. But they are really worth it. The path is easy to walk and at the end a really great hut awaits thirsty guests. A dream. Also easy to reach by bike. The way back by the water is a highlight …. You rarely see such clear water. There are a few ways to put your feet in the water. A good idea in the heat. When we arrived in town, we had to catch our breath. That was a few kilometers the last few days. But we experienced so many beautiful things... with a bit of melancholy we enjoy the last few hours here. Goods to buy. But I didn't feel like cooking today. A spectacle is taking place in the sky. Weather lights at their finest. It's rumbling and will probably rain soon. That makes saying goodbye a lot easier for us. Tomorrow evening we want to go home. Now let's enjoy the evening! It actually starts to rain. Hmm... sooo nice!

So it really rained last night! A nice thunderstorm. But only came down very moderately. No storm as predicted. That's why we stayed in Oberstdorf. The place is paved and certainly good in heavy rain.

In anticipation of further rain, we decide to go on a city hike. Nice and fresh outside! Actually wanted to go to Nesselwang and climb the Alpspitz. Then just the next time and Oberstdorf is also quite pretty. Lots of fun shops with interesting local produce. Bought a lot of cheese. hmmm... it will be delicious when we get home. Still properly fed and back to the car.

The entrance barrier is closed at the weekend and you should try to get a coin. As a rule, an employee comes by and hands them out upon presentation of the receipt. So be sure to cancel!

Well, with a heavy heart we say goodbye to Oberstdorf and start our Frida. Just get rid of it and then get on the freeway. Since we like to drive in the evening, we expect a stress-free drive to enjoy the great scenery. It was nice again and see you next time!

As expected, we arrived home after 4.5 hours of stress-free driving. Everything worked fine. No traffic jams, just the occasional heavy rain to clean the car! :-)

Unfortunately, the beautiful days are over now and we are looking forward to new adventures. Now let's go diving with the plane. Have a great time everyone and have fun exploring the world!
