7 places where you'll forget your phone

Digital Detox in the Allgäu

1. Alatsee – Mystical Mountain Lake

Alatsee is one of Bavaria's most mysterious lakes. Its turquoise waters and quiet forest surroundings make it the perfect place for a digital timeout. The circular walk takes about 45 minutes and is suitable for beginners. Especially in the early morning, when mist hovers over the water, the atmosphere is magical. From hotel: 15 minutes on foot.

2. Faulenbacher Valley – The Valley of the Senses

2. Faulenbacher Valley – The Valley of the Senses

The Faulenbach Valley, right outside the hotel door, is a paradise for all the senses. Walking trails along the stream lead past Kneipp footbaths, the former gypsum ponds, and forest clearings. The “Valley of the Senses” trail, with its interactive stations, invites you to consciously experience nature: walk barefoot on moss, listen to birdsong, and breathe in the scent of pine needles. The trail starts right at the hotel.

3. Lechfall – Natural Spectacle

3. Lechfall – Natural Spectacle

The 12-meter-high Lechfall is one of the most impressive natural spectacles in the region. The roaring water plunging over the rocks into the Lech gorge has an almost meditative effect. The short walking path from König-Max-Brücke offers spectacular views. Especially in spring, when snowmelt swells the waterfall, the visit is an experience. From hotel: 10 minutes on foot.

4. Forggensee Shore – Expanse & Silence

Lake Forggensee, Bavaria's fifth-largest lake, offers extensive walking paths along its southern shore with panoramic views of the Ammergau Alps and Neuschwanstein Castle. In the off-season, you often have the promenades all to yourself. Perfect for a bike ride or an extended walk with a picnic.

5. Calvary Hill – Viewpoint of the Three Castles Loop

6. Schwansee & Schwanseeparkweg

Little Schwansee lies nestled in a nature reserve with views of Hohenschwangau Castle. A walk along the shore path is like walking through a painting – especially in autumn when the foliage turns gold and red. In summer, the sunbathing lawns invite you to linger.

7. Kneipp Facility Bad Faulenbach

The historic Kneipp facility in Bad Faulenbach is a place of conscious deceleration. Water treading in cold mountain water, arm baths and walking barefoot along the Kneipp course – here you feel every moment. Combined with a break on one of the park benches by the stream, this is the perfect mini-meditation. From hotel: 5 minutes on foot.
