Go wild for a bit and make the mountains your home
Nestled on a vast valley floor at the base of the rugged and craggy Bavarian Alps, in southwestern Germany's rural Allgau region, you'll find the quaint mountain village of Oberstdorf. Book an Oberstdorf vacation rental in this picturesque scenery and you'll spend your days inhaling crisp mountain air, while strolling through a fairy tale-like landscape dotted with 17th-century farmhouses and charming churches. No matter the time of year, there's always something to see or do, as the town is known for its host of outdoor activities, particularly skiing and hiking.
Keep moving—fun in the great outdoors (and indoors)
Your Oberstdorf vacation rental never puts you far from natural wonders, such as Breitachklamm, a deep, rocky gorge lined with a 1.5-mile path. The 7,297-foot Nebelhorn mountain provides panoramic views and is accessible via a cable car. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can descend the mountain by paragliding. For those who prefer spectator sports, the Erdinger Arena is a ski jumping stadium where you can watch athletes train and compete. The complex also offers guided tours, concerts, and a ski museum. Nearby Eissportzentrum is a 3-rink figure skating complex that hosts competitions and offers public skating sessions.
The powder is falling, the mountain is calling
When the mountains are blanketed in snow, you'll find plenty of trails for skiing and snowboarding, while daredevils can try their hand at ski jumping. If you're not quite that adventurous, the winter wonderland also features outdoor curling sheets and horse-drawn sleigh rides. Book an Oberstdorf vacation rental in the summer and spend your days hiking, flying down toboggan tracks, or teeing off on the golf course. When the sun is shining, you can also head to an area lake for an afternoon of boating, fishing, or swimming, or explore the region on a bike or on horseback.
A forecast reminder: expect the unexpected
Weather can be unpredictable in Oberstdorf but 1 thing is certain—you'll need to bundle up in the winter when daytime highs are close to freezing and the nights are even more bone chilling. The town gets plenty of snow with flurries falling anytime from November through April. July and August are the warmest months but, even then, the mercury tops out at around 70 degrees. Make sure you bring an umbrella in June and July, the town's rainiest months. For truly pleasant conditions, consider visiting in the spring and fall when crisp daytime highs are in the 50s.
The good things in life are wild and free
Oberstdorf offers a lush and diverse landscape, with rugged, often snow-capped mountains dominating the countryside. Waterways are peppered throughout the landscape, as numerous lakes, rivers, and streams sit at various heights. Dairy cows wander across the valley floor, many of which help farmers produce the region's famed local cheeses. The valley also serves as the starting point for numerous trails that will take you deep into the mountainous region. Climb into elevated areas and you'll find yourself surrounded by dense forests, narrow canyons, and breathtaking waterfalls.
