Priceless Moments...
are usually the sum of little things—a special scent, a mood, sounds and noises that stick in our minds.
Sometimes memories of those moments resurface unexpectedly in our daily lives and make us happy.
Here are a few ideas to help you create your own “priceless moments”!
At first, there’s no sound, then the first bird begins to chirp, and the others join in—what a concert! Slowly, the fog in the valley lifts; like smoke, it fades from view, and the first rays of sunlight break through… the night has vanished, and a new day has dawned!
Experience it at the “Buffernandl” on the Auerberg, Stötten.
The Wertach flows gently—it’s the perfect spot for a refreshing Kneipp bath! A table and a bench invite you to linger. A few stone pyramids are already there. There are plenty of stones to build with! This isn’t just for kids. It takes skill and patience.
Experience this at the Wertach Loop on the Wertach Trail near Wald.
The bench couldn’t be in a better spot. A prime viewing spot! First, gentle hills, then the Allgäu Alps. A magnificent backdrop! How small you feel there, how majestic the mountains appear. And how beautiful it is!
Experience it on the bench above Lengenwang along the Kleeblatt hiking trails.
It was once known as the “mill village”; as early as 839, it was referred to as such in the history books. The Kirnach River flows right through the center of town here and used to power the mill wheels. One of them is still running today. It’s soothing to watch the water flow and the wheel turn. The famous miller’s song comes to mind. Your thoughts drift away, and the wheel keeps turning.
Experience it in Ruderatshofen at the old mill.
Ducks waddle along the stream, swans glide by with their heads held high, and cows and calves stick their heads out of the barns. The brave ones reach out their hands, and the curious calves lick them—it gives you a tingling sensation!
Experience this in Aitrang on the Kirnach.
Just stop for a moment and take a breather. Pilgrims walk by, laden with backpacks and usually with a smile on their faces. Take a look at the image on the wayside shrine. I wonder who put it there? A supplicant or a grateful believer? What am I grateful for? Moments of reflection.
Experience this near Unterthingau/Oberthingau on the Münchener Jakobsweg.
Who will be the first to find them? The first person to find them can get comfortable right away! Just lie back, sway a little—the leaves rustle in the wind. Take a short break, recharge your energy, and then continue on the exciting nature trail.
Experience this in Görisried on the nature trail.
A local artist created this landing spot for angels on the Buchel—a work of art meant to be climbed. You’ll find it near the three trees just past the Buchel Forest. It’s most beautiful here after dark. Make yourself comfortable and gaze up at the sparkling starry sky. Soon you’ll see the angels land!
Experience it on the Buchel in Marktoberdorf.
