Flower-rich alpine meadows, rushing wild streams, and thundering waterfalls, steep grass mountains, and massive rock castles - the Allgäu is a popular destination for outings and vacations. Particularly appealing is the contrast between the lush meadows in the valley and the impressive rock formations of the Allgäu main ridge. The Rother hiking book "Allgäuer Wanderberge" describes 50 selected hikes in the Allgäu Alps, the Tannheimer Mountains, and the western Ammergau Alps. The focus is on easy to moderately difficult mountain hikes, but more challenging summit destinations are also included in the selection. The range spans from family-friendly half-day hikes to Hirschberg in the Bregenz Forest to demanding mountain tours to the highest peaks in the Allgäu, such as the Grosser Krottenkopf, Mädelegabel, and Hochvogel. All notable Allgäu peaks are represented.
