Holiday in Oberstdorf

About Oberstdorf

Oberstdorf in the Allgäu is Germany's southernmost town and one of the country's most renowned alpine spa resorts. Nestled in a high valley at an altitude of 815 meters, surrounded by peaks over 2,500 meters high, the market offers a unique combination of alpine sports, healing climate, and Allgäu coziness. The ski flying hill at Schattenberg is world-famous: Here, the opening jump of the Four Hills Tournament takes place annually, attracting around 25,000 spectators to the stadium. The hill, where distances of over 230 meters can be achieved, can be visited outside of competition times. The Nebelhorn (2,224 m) offers the largest panorama of the Allgäu Alps: On clear days, 400 peaks are visible, with views ranging from the Zugspitze over the Lechtal Alps to the Säntis. The Nebelhorn cable car takes visitors to the summit in three sections, where the spectacular North Wall Trail awaits. The Breitach Gorge is the deepest and most impressive rock gorge in Central Europe: Up to 150 meters high vertical rock walls, through which the Breitach carves its way, can be traversed on secured walkways — a natural spectacle both in summer and winter, when the gorge is enchanted by bizarre ice formations. The Kleinwalsertal (Austria) is directly accessible by road, but only from Germany — a geographical peculiarity that seamlessly connects the German-Austrian hiking area.
