Activities

Here you can hit two birds with one stone. The Terra Nostra I nature trail will explain the cultural- historical and geologic specialties of the area along the 4 km tour with its different stations. The Klobunzele-trial runs along the same way and offers adventurous learning-points for the little wanderers. There is much to discover: from forest-phone to climbing activities. Start and ending point is the parking lot of the lake Kuhstallweiher, right next to the archeologic site – “Römerbad” (roman remains) – an exciting tramp for kids and their parents.

The Terra Nostra Trail is 6km. It takes you to one of the most promising routes from the scenic lake Kuhstallweiher passing through the forests of the Hochwieswald to Rieder, then an ancient plague cemetery and back to the starting point. The tour is just perfect for Nordic walking fans. 13 educational boards are informing about ecologic and historic topics and at the end the archeological excavation “Römerbad” awaits you.

The Clemens-Wenzeslaus-Trail starts right in the city centre of Marktoberdorf, and guides you along the traces of its eponym to his favourite places – the temple at the end of the linden alley. Information boards along the 6 km tour are telling the story about Marktoberdorfs most famous inhabitant – take a glimpse into the world of an elector.

“Meadow-Walkers, Water-Runners, Sky-Rushers” are coinciding with the nature of the wanderer’s trilogy of the Allgäu.

Become a part of these stories. In Marktoberdorf the Meadow Walkers meet the Water-Runners. At a local tour you get to know, why Marktoberdorf is at the centre of this fabled region.

The Ostallgäuer wandering tours are offering extra-ordinary views, leading through idyllic forests and along scenic lakes. They are commencing from Marktoberdorf in a starlike shape into all directions: to the north until Buchloe, down south to Füssen, to Nesselwang in the south-west and Ronsberg in the west. These tours vary from 30 to 50 km. On the way back, you can take the train or Allgäu Shuttle – which will bring your belongings with you. Its time to become an Allgäu-Expert.

Pilgrimaging from Munich to the lake Bodensee is a 250 km stage. Marktoberdorf lies right in the middle and is starting and ending point of several alternatives.
