  • Difficulty:
The Ost­all­gäu regi­on offers many small, idyl­lic spots—secluded retre­ats that invi­te you to lin­ger and dream. Step by step, the trail winds through nature—across green mea­dows and fields, through spar­se forests, a wild and roman­tic gor­ge, and over gent­le hills—to quiet lakes and his­to­ric sites. Every now and then, the Königsal­pen greet you from afar. The­re are even gar­dens within the­se idyl­lic set­tings: for exam­p­le, the monas­tery gar­den in the colorful old town of Kaufbeuren—the start­ing and ending point of the rough­ly 96-kilo­me­ter-long route—and the Kur­fürs­ten­al­lee in Markt­ober­dorf, who­se end once mark­ed the magni­fi­cent scenic back­drop of the regi­on. For lei­su­re hikers who pre­fer lon­ger walks to steep climbs.
