About the Book
Lush green meadows and deep blue lakes, rugged mountain peaks and gentle hills characterize the Allgäu region. It is a landscape that invites a variety of outdoor activities while also being perfect for relaxation—whether in nature or during a soothing spa treatment. Wellness has been a tradition in the Allgäu since the time of Pastor Kneipp. You will get to know the region through hikes at high altitudes, walks along the trails of poets or local craftsmen, and bike tours along the cheese route or to artistic treasures. Cultural experiences abound with visits to baroque churches, castles, and venerable monasteries. Food lovers will find satisfaction in traditional mountain inns as well as in restaurants serving regional cuisine at the highest level. Perhaps you will also experience the Allgäu in festive spirit—there is much to enjoy throughout the year, from classical music festivals to the Almabtrieb. With the tours and favorite spots of Elke Homburg, you will discover the full diversity of the region.
