Fischen im Allgäu, Climatic health resort in Oberallgäu, Germany
Fischen im Allgäu is a mountain health resort in Oberallgäu situated along the upper Iller valley amid Alpine peaks. The settlement features meadows, traditional chalets, and modern wellness facilities spread throughout the valley.
During the 20th century, the valley transformed from an agricultural area into a recognized health resort as mountain climate gained recognition for wellness and recovery. This shift attracted visitors seeking mountain rest and healing.
The valley preserves Upper Swabian traditions through its wooden buildings and craft details passed down by local families over generations. Visitors can see how regional customs shape daily life and celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can walk on marked trails throughout the year, with winter offering skiing via cable cars and ski lifts. There is a heated outdoor pool with a water slide, a fishing lake, and plenty of lodging and dining options across the valley.
The name Fischen comes from its historical abundance of fish, and Auwaldsee lake attracts anglers seeking specific species found in these waters. The 58-meter water slide at the outdoor pool adds unexpected fun for families within the quiet mountain setting.
