Bad Hindelang

Bad Hindelang is a spa town in the Allgäu Alps at roughly 825 meters elevation, spread across six separate districts. The area is crisscrossed by hiking trails and offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities.

The town hall originated as a hunting lodge in 1660 and was used as a summer residence by a prince bishop. The building stands as a sign of the political connection between this region and the nearby ecclesiastical territory.

The Church of St. Jodokus in Bad Oberdorf shows religious artworks from different periods that visitors notice when visiting. The interior decoration reflects the artistic traditions that have shaped this area over generations.

Visitors can easily reach different hiking starting points using the cable cars, which is especially helpful for families with children. The marked trails and ski runs are well maintained and accessible from various starting points.

The area has natural toboggan runs that operate without artificial snow and depend on weather conditions for availability. These slopes show how visitors still practice traditional winter sports in this mountain region today.
