Allgäu summer experiences

Your time out between mountains and lakes

A summer’s day here in Eglofs often starts quite simply. Fresh mountain air flows through the open window, the view sweeps over the green hills of the West Allgäu and somewhere in the distance the cowbells are ringing. The first rays of sunshine touch the meadows and your legs are tingling. Time to get out and about. Whether you go hiking, swimming or simply enjoy nature – a summer vacation in the Allgäu has something for everyone. And the best thing is:

All these experiences start right here. In the middle of nature, right on our doorstep.

Lakes in the Allgäu for swimming

Anyone on a summer vacation is looking forward to cooling off. Fortunately, there are several bathing lakes, natural pools and hidden water spots around Eglofs – each one special in its own way.

Some lakes are large and offer everything that families and active people need. Others lie quietly, almost like an insider tip. And they all belong to the Allgäu Lake District, a landscape where water is as much a part of the summer scenery as the meadows and mountains.

  • The Argenbühl mud baths are just a few minutes away from our hotel. Natural, quiet and with soft moor water – refreshing and soothing at the same time.
  • The large Alpsee lake invites you to swim, row, sunbathe or simply look around. The gentle waves, the view of the mountains and the long lakeside paths make it a favorite place for many guests.
  • The Waldsee in Lindenberg is considered one of the warmest moorland lakes for swimming in Germany. There is a lovely playground, a small café and plenty of space to linger – ideal for a relaxing afternoon with the family.
  • Lake Constance, just 35 minutes away, offers Mediterranean flair, lakeside promenades and panoramic views as far as Switzerland. If you like, you can take a day trip to Lindau, to one of the numerous outdoor pools directly on the lake or simply enjoy the light by the water.

Whether you take a few quiet laps in the morning or dip your feet in the water after a hike – the lakes in the Allgäu are perfect for swimming on warm days, quiet moments and pure refreshment. The Allgäu lake district attracts many guests time and time again. Some even come back just because of the lakes. And we understand why.

Summer vacation in the Allgäu with children

The Allgäu is a great place of discovery for families. Here you are in the middle of nature from the very first moment. The children run across meadows, discover small forest paths, collect sticks and stones. The air is clear, the mountains are close by and there is something to discover everywhere:
  • Playground just around the corner
  • Möggers forest adventure trail with exciting stations for children
  • Hündle summer toboggan run for the brave young and old
  • Viehscheid with decorated cows and music as a real Allgäu experience

In the evening, the little ones are often tired, but full of impressions and happy. And you can end the day relaxing on our mountain view terrace with a glass of wine or a cool spritzer while the sun slowly sets behind the hills. This is exactly why so many families feel so at home with us. Our family-friendly hotel combines nature, tranquillity and genuine Allgäu experiences to create a summer vacation that you won’t forget in a hurry.

Time for you

Relax with a view of the Allgäu Alps

After a day full of impressions, it’s good to simply come to rest. Our natural garden invites you to consciously experience nature – barefoot through the grass, a good book on the sky lounger or simply gazing into the distance. It’s moments like these that make a summer vacation at the Allgäu Hotel so special.

Our newly designed Berg & Wiesen Plätzle is particularly popular: a quiet retreat with a sky lounger and an incredible view of the Allgäu mountain panorama.

Afterwards, you can end the day relaxing on the Bergblick terrace with a cool drink and the setting sun.

Just sit, breathe, look. Sometimes it’s precisely these moments that remain unforgettable.
