Year-Round Nature Paradise360 degree mountain views against a backdrop of sun-kissed fl ower fi elds. Crystal clear, light blue, sometimes even turquoise waters fl ow in rivers and lakes across the Iller Valley. While the last bits of snow glitter on Mount Rubihorn in spring, the valley is blooming in thousands of colours.

In the summertime the air is fi lled with the aroma of warm hay, fresh herbs and wild fl owers. The soothing tinkling of cowbells follows you wherever you go. A little higher, above the Iller river valley, a sun-drenched plateau looks out over Obermaiselstein, Bolsterlang and Kierwang, all the way to Ofterschwang.

The 110 km long, well sign-posted Nordic Walking Park includes the Iller Panoramic Route and the low diffi culty Lappach Tour in the 1,100 metre high Balderschwang Alpine Valley. You can do plenty of leisurely hiking and enjoy all the mountain vistas you could ever want at the Nagelfl uhkette Nature Park.

In winter, this mountain paradise is transformed into a winter wonderland, perfect for skiing, cross-country skiing, and winter hikes.

Untouched, authentic, and full of charm – that is how the Allgäu traditions come to life in the Hörnerdörfer region.

Allgäu Hiking Trilogy

New trail network with inspiring stories and impressive nature experiences

Source: www.allgaeu.info

Sponsored by the Bavarian State Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.

The Allgäu Hiking Trilogy in the Hörnerdörfer RegionAt One with Nature

From hilly meadow landscapes and softly rolling grasslands to the high mountain peaks. The Allgäu Hiking Trilogy offers 870 kilometres and 51 stages of hiking adventures at three altitudes. The trail network connects the Allgäu na-tural adventure spaces and gives the hiker insight into special stories from the heart of the region. These stories come to life at select locations and with strong symbolism. These places are known as the ‘trilogy locations’. One of these locations is at Lake Auwald, near Fischen.

The varied landscapes of the Allgäu region can be discovered via three different routes: trails for walkers, water rats, and peak conquerors. The Hiking Trilogy consists of nine ‘trilogy areas’, and each one has its own story to tell.

The Hörnerdörfer villages lie within the ‘Alpine Gardens’ Adventure Area. The Alpine Gardens and the Nagelfl uh-kette Nature Park offer a unique variety of landscapes and endangered fl ora and fauna. Characteristic for the area is the Nagelfl uh conglomerate, consisting of rock and gravel com-ponents which create unique rock formations.

Walker Route: 387 kilometres of rolling hills in the west, across the terraced landscape in the east, and all the way across Lower Allgäu.

Water Rat Route: 377 kilometres, perfect for adventurous hikers who want to experience the trails along the water’s edge, the waterfalls in the west, and the lakes at the heart and towards the east of the Allgäu region. The stages are more ambitious, but not quite a mountain adventure.

Peak Conqueror Route: 338 kilometres for more athletic hik-ers who seek challenges at the highest altitudes of the Allgäu region. The one-day stages are shorter, but not for the faint of heart in terms of altitude metres.

Fischen is the starting location of this route, with Balder-schwang as one of the stages. Selected circular trails with hospitality and information points bring to life the natural and local history, and the unique characteristics of the „Alpine Gardens“ adventure areas.

Hörnerbahn Bolsterlang Cable CarsThe Hörnerbahn gondolas with their panoramic windows will carry you comfortably from an altitude of 940 metres right up to 1,540 metres above sea level. The green Iller Valley stretches from Sonthofen to Oberstdorf, and the higher you travel, the more breathtaking the view across the surrounding mountain vistas of the Allgäu Alps is.

The famous high trails of the Hörner Mountain Range, starting right at the mountain station, await with beautiful mountain meadows, dotted with fl owers of many species indigenous to the Allgäu Alps.

From the „royal“ viewing peak Riedberger Horn, which puts to shame some of the most well-known panoramic peaks of the Allgäu region, you will be able to see as far as the glistening fi rn fi elds of the faraway Schesaplana and Säntis.

World Cup Express OfterschwangUntouched nature ... Ofterschwang, because of its location along the edge of the Alps, is a perfect starting point for wonderful hikes and bike tours. On the World Cup Express, it only takes a few minutes to the top of Ofterschwanger Horn. Here, at 1,400 metres above sea level, active holiday enthusiasts will have just as much to look forward to as will those who are simply looking for some peace and relaxation.

A wide coverage trail network offers high-octane mountain tours, but also paved paths for relaxed strolls. And all the while you can enjoy the stunning backdrop of the surrounding high Allgäu High Alps.

RadrundeAllgäu

Cycling & eBiking60 bike tours wind around the Hörnerdörfer region from the mountains to the valley, with beautiful stage stops: waterfalls, picturesque swimming lakes, peaceful Alpine valleys, authentic mountain cabins, the deepest cave in Allgäu, and the Alpine Wildlife Park near Obermaiselstein. The Alpine nature at three different altitudes is best appreciated from the saddle of a bicycle. There are thousands of discoveries to be made by the wayside! On even paths along the mountain river, on peaceful trails across green mountain meadows, and on challenging panoramic high-trails into the mountains.

A new premium quality circular bike trail, the ‘Radrunde Allgäu’, similarly leads across the Hörnerdörfer region, right through the Alpine Gardens, which are the homes of our moun-tain farmers, mountain cheese, and pure Alpine beauty.

Regional Delicacies & Allgäu CraftsmanshipThe Hörnerdörfer region is a great place for discovering the culinary side of Allgäu as well. Hotels and restaurants serve seasonal delicacies made with local produce. The traditional Alpine cottages and dairies sell high quality cheese and milk specialties which are made by local fresh milk. Fish and venison dishes, sausages and baked goods, as well as honey and herb delicacies are all part of the culinary experience.

Traditional craftsmanship is another important aspect of the Hörnerdörfer region.
