Allgäu Alps hiking

The friendliest introduction to alpine walking in Germany: waymarked paths of every grade radiate from Oberstdorf, cable cars remove the worst of the climbing, and mountain huts serve Kaiserschmarrn at 1,800 m. The Nebelhorn ridge walk and the Breitachklamm gorge suit mixed groups; the Heilbronner Weg is for experienced walkers only. Snow clears from the high routes by late June.

Campsites that make a good base

Drive times are estimated from road distance, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.

We don't have a campsite close enough to recommend for this one yet.
