A cozy atmospheric hotel in the center of the village. Magnificent nature on the way to it. Fields, cows, farmers. Hearty and delicious breakfast. The room exceeded all expectations. The service is more like family care than hotel service. If you are looking for a place to spend the night in this region, it is worth turning off the highway.

We had a wonderful stay at Alpenkönig. We had booked it for our 45th wedding anniversary based on reviews that the food was so good and it was a very welcoming atmosphere. And sure enough, the food was exceptional. Breakfast had everything you could wish for. Eggs were made to order, bacon was cooked for you too, French toast, oatmeal... all made to order. The buffet part of the breakfast was great. Mini croissants delicious. We took the half board option and were treated to gourmet-like food as well as presentation of the food. Delicious! The room we had was very big and comfortable with a sitting area. Everything was spotless. The walk into town was roughly 5 minutes. The scenery is beautiful. I highly recommend taking the Hündlebahn cable car. Beautiful open views and many possible walks. The owners were very welcoming and caring. Altogether a great vacation.

    An absolute great wellness and relaxing experience. The hotel is excellent, with astonishing views and excellent customer service. We had an absolute nice time during our stay and will come back without any doubt. The restaurant serves delicious food during the evening. The breakfast is a very varied buffet with cold and hot dishes including vegetarian alternatives. The food is very natural and well prepared. It includes fruits, smoothies, pancakes, eggs, bread, vegetables, cheese, ham, tea, coffee, etc. The SPA installations are excellent and worth a visit: pool, sauna, etc. We had the 5 elements massage: a very relaxing experience carried by very professional staff. Rooms are very comfortable, and waking up to the sound of a (small) waterfall nearby, birds and surrounded by mountains makes this visit one of our best relaxing experiences.

The hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful at all times, the apartment was spacious and the food was exceptional (organic and locally grown) - fantastic breakfast buffet and a delicious choice of freshly cooked dishes every evening. The pool area is spacious and welcoming and there are free aquagym courses on offer.

Staff very friendly and helpful. We opted for a balcony room for one of us which was amazing with views of neuschwanstein Castle and the lake and mountains. 2 other rooms were without the view but were large and comfortable.

    This town in a valley within the Allgau Alps is out of a picture book. We came specifically for the "Almabtrieb" or the "Viehscheid," when the cows from upper pastures on the mountains are paraded down into the valley pastures for the winter. It is a super festive time in Alpine villages, and Obertsdorf really knows how to celebrate with music, beer, food, and all types of festivities. There are many beautiful shops in town, terrific places to eat and drink (everything from cafes to beer gardens to ethnic food), and a state of the art mountain gondola/lift that everyone should take whether for hiking, views, a short walk -- its absolutely breathtaking. This town is what life should be like everywhere. I would note that this town did not feel "touristy" even though there are many visitors to this town, but the tourism is largely cycling/hiking/skiing visitors, so that feels a bit different.

    Memmingen city is a gem. It is only 15 mins drive from Memmingen airport, and the old city is within walking distance of the main bus / train station. Everything is within walking distance, and there are an excellent range of shops, cafes and theatres. Of all the places we have been to in Germany, this was our favourite!

    Excellent little Bavarian town. Surrounded by trails, mountains etc. If you don’t like quiet, then this is not for you. But Oberstaufen is located a short drive from the towns of Lake Konstanz and all the touristy things that you may require.

    Hohenschwangau is a very busy and very touristy place,...

    Hohenschwangau is a very busy and very touristy place, especially in summer but you can still enjoy the area and visit the castles if you plan things a little. Firstly, I strongly suggest you book your tickets in advance as you must visit the castles at an appointed time. Secondly, in spite of the fact that you only have barely half an hour inside Neuschwanstein Castle and 45 minutes at Hohenschwangau Castle, the lead up times (how long it takes to get there from Hohenschwangau village, and then how far in advance you need to be at the Castle gates), you will find that you will probably take close to an entire day to visit both Castles! Allow at least 3 hours for Neuschwanstein (queue for the bus, walk to Marienbrucke for a spectacular view, be at the Castle entrance at least 15 minutes before entry, 30 minutes for the tour, another 30-40 minutes for the walk downhill), and at least 2-3hrs for Hohenschwangau Castle). While you cannot plan the weather, obviously for the best views over the lakes and the countryside will be in sunshine, but there's no reason you cannot enjoy the castles even in rain or snow, however transportation may be limited in some weather. It's a long slog up the hill to walk to Neuschwanstein (not so bad for Hohenschwangau) so recommend spending the EUR 3.50 per person to take the bus (pretty scary windy drive!) or splurge and take the horse drawn carriage! It's a nice walk down from both castles. Lots of places to stop for a snack or a meal in Hohenschwangau but of course at tourist prices!

    [12:18] Orecny Peter Worst apt. where I was.

    [12:18] Orecny Peter Worst apt. where I was. Dirty and smell. Key box on the ground behind trash can and you will be have a problem with open the key box, because of rust and in a rain also wet. Problem with parking and no internet connection. This place is for animal not for human. Dirty socks front of the door. Used dishes and leave it in kitchen. If you open the fridge, you have a fiiling that there died some animal, not for food. Best thing it was hole in the wall, where you can see out of the apt. and it was not possible to cover somehow. It was fck cold inside, because od this hole. The kitchen is unusable, I don't understand how they can rent it without cleaning, they leave a used fork there. Bathroom, same story, dirty, dust and mold. Go away from here. [12:18] Orecny Peter Nothing was good. I can only say, go away from here or do not make a reservation here. This apt. is really only for animal. Location, not good, problem with the parking. Not internet conection.

    Kempten is a right place to start exploring the Allgaü alps of Germany. You get better stay options here as it gets a bit more costlier as you go down. The town is big and you even have food options late in the night. Also public transportation is available.Looking forward to visiting again in Summer.
