Allgäu-Swabia route

Untouched nature and lively towns: Experience the impressive contrasts of Bavaria up close. The Allgäu / Bavarian Swabia tourist region represents the south-west of Bavaria and represents pure cordiality, closeness to the homeland, love of life and an idyllic landscape.

The name “Bavarian Swabia” reveals the linguistic and cultural diversity of the region. “Where Bavaria talks Swabian”, Swabian down-to-earthness meets Bavarian cosiness. You can also experience holiday adventures in LEGOLAND Germany or get to know the famous puppets in the Augsburger Puppenkiste.

The name says it all for the “Romantic Road”. Germany’s most popular holiday route takes you straight through Bavarian Swabia – through the Ries meteorite crater, past the famous Harburg castle and via the Fugger town of Augsburg on to Friedberg with the Wittelsbach Castle.

Hiking is part of the Allgäu like the Kässpatzen is part of the hut weekend. Become a sky climber, water strider or meadow walker on the Allgäu hiking trilogy and enjoy the feeling high above the clouds. A total of 53 stages lead you across lush meadows, to rushing waterfalls and to the highest peaks. Or bike on the “Radrunde Allgäu”. The 450 km long long-distance cycle path can also be explored in stages or daily routes.

Where there are mountains, there is of course snow in winter. That means: fun for everyone when skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing – in nice, clear and snow-sure ski areas. Then as now, the Allgäu is a paradise for those looking for relaxation and those who are health-conscious. There is a lot to discover here under the motto “Alpine wellness Allgäu”. The Allgäu offers many options for an eventful and sustainable holiday.

White and blue enjoyment also applies in Allgäu / Bavarian Swabia. Here you will experience the variety of local cuisine on your culinary journey – from traditional to unusually cheeky and modern. Simply delicious. Try traditional delicacies or experimental star cuisine that plays with old favorite recipes: in Bavaria you can taste the white-blue way of life with every bite. In Bavaria, eating and drinking are closely linked to conviviality and lively customs: Enjoy Bavarian specialties with family and friends in the rustic tavern or under the shady chestnut trees in the beer garden.

The Allgäu / Bavarian Swabia region is characterized above all by its untouched and unique nature: from fascinating moor meadows and extensive flax fields to clear mountain lakes and the native herbs of the Allgäu Alps. Experience the unique variety of landscapes on high alpine hikes with unique views high above the clouds and on more leisurely tours such as the historic Schäferweg in the Nördlinger Ries. Or you can jump on your bike and cycle on the Danube Cycle Path through the Swabian Danube Valley, lined with floodplain forests, to Neu-Ulm and Donauwörth. In winter, the snow-capped mountains invite you to go skiing, snowboarding or tobogganing.

Those who like it more relaxed will also get their money’s worth in the Allgäu. From herbal hikes to Kneipp cures to wellness treatments with hay or moor: the rich and healing treasures from nature help health-conscious people and those looking for relaxation to switch off from everyday life and recharge their batteries. The beauty of the region was not hidden from the aristocracy either and so fairytale king Ludwig II once had his legendary Neuschwanstein Castle built on the rock near Füssen – one of the most famous sights in the world.
