Apartments in Allgäu
Old towns with small alleys and historical buildings in the middle of the mountains: This is how you live when you take a holiday apartment in one of the towns of the Allgäu that are well worth seeing. The town of Füssen lies on Lake Foggern with a view of Neuschwanstein Castle. In Kempten and the surrounding area many testimonies of Roman times can be found. In the old town of Kaufbeuren there are modern apartments behind historical town house facades and in Memmingen you live in medieval half-timbered houses. The varied nature of the Allgäu is never far away from the centrally located accommodations.
Rustic vacation rentals on the mountainsideThose who want to experience alpine meadows, mountain lakes and imposing rock faces up close will live in a vacation rental in the Allgäu Alps. White plastered houses with dark wooden gables radiate a rustic charm and a lot of cosiness. The large balconies and terraces offer an excellent view of the sunset behind the mountains. In summer children can romp on the meadows, in winter they go skiing and snowboarding in the nearby ski areas, for example around Oberstdorf, Immenstadt or the Hörner villages with fish.
Romantic hours in cosy chaletsAt Oberjoch, Hochgrad, Iseler and the many other Allgäu peaks you will live in a spacious chalet. Houses clad in wood already promise a cosy stay for the whole family from the outside. Natural wood is often also found in the interior design. Many vacation rentals in the mountains also have their own fireplace. In summer, you can enjoy the green of the alpine meadows on your doorstep, while in winter you can enjoy the view of snow-capped peaks.
Holiday in Allgäu
Location and orientation
The Allgäu is a landscape in Upper Swabia. It stretches from the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia via the south-eastern Ravensburg in Baden-Württemberg to Austria and the Kleinwalsertal. Most of the Allgäu is located in Germany. The landscape stretches from Lake Constance to the river Lech, and the Allgäu Alps form the southern border.
Varied alpine landscapeThe boundaries of the Allgäu are not fixed, but have changed again and again in the course of time. Today the Allgäu is divided into four sub-regions: The Oberallgäu with the Breitbachklamm near Tiefenbach is the southernmost district of Germany. The Ostallgäu extends around the Foggernsee in Bavaria. The Westallgäu includes the Lake Constance region with the city of Lindau. The Unterallgäu has many health resorts such as Bad Grönenbach and Bad Wörishofen to offer, a holiday apartment here is popular with wellness vacationers.
