Summer in Oberjoch
Good air, clear views, breath-taking mountains, exercise in nature, cool nights, the sound of cowbells, the chirping of crickets, a mighty storm that cools everything down, the aromatic smell of hay after the meadows have been reaped, beautiful blue sky, the exhilaration of reaching the peak, the reverence for nature, feeling the air rush across your face when riding a bike.
Feel yourself and nature – that’s summer in Oberjoch!
Hiking in Allgäu
In Oberjoch and Bad Hindelang, you'll find nearly 300 kilometers of pure hiking pleasure on more than 60 hiking trails. Your vacation destination, Oberjoch, is the ideal starting point as you can begin your hike right from the hotel.
Feel free to ask us about short hikes and longer tours such as Hochvogel, Schrecksee, Iseler-Bschießer-Ponten, and many more...
We are all passionate hikers and mountaineers ourselves. Together, we can find the perfect tour for you through the enchanting landscape of the Allgäu Alps, passing waterfalls, gorges, and ascending to heavenly heights with breathtaking views.
If you prefer a more comfortable option, you can also take advantage of the Iseler cable car in Oberjoch and the Hornbahn in Bad Hindelang. The cable cars are free for you as a guest at the Löwen.
Cycling Holiday in the Allgäu
Cycling tours on paved roads and bike paths, mountain bike tours over rough terrain, road bike tours over Alpine passes – all of this awaits you in the Allgäu.
The cycling and mountain biking network in our region is excellently developed, providing the perfect route for every challenge.
The diverse options include a variety of tours of different difficulty levels and, for freeride enthusiasts, the Bikepark at Hornbahn Bad Hindelang.
Swimming pools & Lakes im Allgäu
After an exhausting bike tour, hike, or just to cool off, we recommend the Hochmoor-Schwimmbad in Oberjoch. This outdoor pool features a natural and health-promoting moor water basin, as well as a children's pool and an idyllic sunbathing lawn in the midst of untouched nature. An interesting Hochmoor educational trail awaits exploration around the pool. Entry to the moor bath is free, but donations are always welcome.
Other swimming options include the natural pool in Bad Hindelang, the 'Prinze Gumpe' in Hinterstein, outdoor pools in Wertach, Jungholz, and Haller am Haldensee.
And there are also many lakes in the vicinity: the large and small Alpsee in Immenstadt, Haldensee in Haller/Tirol, Forggensee near Füssen, Grüntensee in Wertach, and many more.
Motorbikes & Oldtimer
Winding roads and breathtaking panoramas... what more could the motorcycle and vintage car enthusiast wish for?
The Jochpass, for example, captivates with its 107 curves and the viewpoint 'Kanzel,' offering a view of a magnificent mountain backdrop, well-known for the traditional Jochpass Memorial Race. In the east, you'll find the neighboring Tyrol with legendary Alpine passes such as Hahntennjoch and Gaichtpass.
