Oberstdorf

The best time to visit Oberstdorf depends on your interests. For skiing and winter sports, the peak season is from December to March. For hiking and enjoying the summer scenery, the ideal time is from June to September. The shoulder seasons (April-May and October-November) offer fewer crowds and pleasant weather for outdoor activities, though some facilities might have limited hours.

Some must-see attractions include the Nebelhorn mountain (accessible by cable car), the Breitachklamm gorge, the Erdinger Arena (site of ski jumping competitions), and the many hiking trails around the area. Exploring the charming village center with its traditional Bavarian architecture and local shops is also a must.

Be sure to try traditional Bavarian dishes such as Schweinshaxe (roasted pork knuckle), Käsespätzle (cheese noodles), and Brezen (pretzels). Local breweries offer a variety of beers, and you can also find regional specialties like Allgäuer Käse (cheese from the Allgäu region).
