Alpine Meadows - hiking tour from Ofterschwang

Every Thursday at 10.15 o'clock there is a free tour through the alpine dairy in the Bergbauern-Sennerei Hüttenberg. The high-quality alpine milk, the basic product of the famous Allgäu mountain cheese, is made from our succulent green meadows.

From the parking at the valley station of the World Cup Express in Ofterschwang, the path leads to the right around the primary school. Follow the sign "Hüttenberg". Cross the river, you enter a small settlement and enter the nature trail, which tells interesting facts about the forest, plants and origins of the Allgäu Alps. At the end of the nature trail above Hüttenberg follow the path straight ahead and take the second path on the left to Gunzesried. Magnificent mountain meadows and beautiful forest sections lead up to Gunzesried / Allgäuer Berghof until you finally reach the road. The route continues along the road, past the Kuckucksnest (private) to the Familotel Allgäuer Berghof (no stopover). Here you have a beautiful panorama view into the entire valley. The path leads either left downhill to Ofterschwang, or you  pass the hotel and after a small right-left loop to the Hochbichl hut (signposted). From here, go downhill for a short distance and then left-right with the Panoramweg downhill to Ofterschwang. We recommend avoiding the road straight down, because it is quite steep and difficult to walk.

Tips: Visit the alpine dairy in Hüttenberg. In addition to fine cheese and delicacies made from fresh hay-milk, you also get hearty sausage specialties from the Butchery (cooperative butcher shop). There is a disc golf course at the Allgäu Berghof. From Thursday to Sunday you can test your luck with Frizbees. Possibility for stop-over: At the valley station you will find the Schlitte Hitte, Pizzeria Cortina and the Wurzelhütte, on the way the Hochbichlhütte. In the summer months, the ice cream shop in the village center of Ofterschwang offers quality homemade ice cream made from our precious milk!
