Allgäu - Oberstaufen
In for a break - a weekend or longer? Oberstaufen has it all...
The Allgäu is a wonderful region in Bavaria and just 2 – 2,5 hours away from Stuttgart – great for hiking, sightseeing, biking, golfing, wintersports and relaxing in one of their great SPA hotels and great food!
There are many things to do with kids, too, like aquaparks, climbing parks, summer roller coasters, hiking trails esp. for children and much more. Every town has its own attractions.

Oberstaufen
Today we are featuring OBERSTAUFEN – we have been there numerous times and it is a great area to enjoy and be active with or without children.
Last time we hiked to Austria without even realising that we crossed the border and quite nosy cows were blocking to path...
We really enjoyed the carefree package of Oberstaufen PLUS card – read more below. It really gives you lots of ideas what to do and a very good value for your money (or hotel accomodation).
Into GOLF? Some hotels have also green fees included in their rate or even a golf course directly attached to the hotel.
Main features taken information from their website - here you can find and book your accommodation in English (see end of the post).
Hiking On Three Levels
Sunny trails through flowering meadows, stop off for refreshments at authentic alpine huts, panoramic views across the mountains to the Swiss and Austrian Alps - hikes that guarantee that “feel-good” factor. Walks at all levels and requirements are possible in Oberstaufen: alpine mountain tours, walks through the alpine foothills and family friendly tracks along the valleys (also with a stroller possible).
Here the website (albeit in German) for the 3 cable cars running - but you can get an idea of the trails from their maps. www.imbergbahn.de, www.huendle.de, www.hochgrat.de

In Oberstaufen the pistes aren’t the only attraction in winter: carefully prepared cross-country ski tracks and winter hiking paths for miles and miles are waiting to be discovered on a snow shoeing tour or during a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride. Indulge yourself in one of the rustic alpine huts to an Allgäu delicacy , such as “Käsespätzle” (a traditional dish with cheese and roasted onions and homemade egg pasta), or “Kaiserschmarr’n”, (sweet cut-up pancake with raisins), and enjoy the Allgäu winter fairytale.
