Nesselwang

Nesselwang is a market municipality in the Ostallgäu region that spreads across green landscape in the Bavarian Alps. The village incorporates several small hamlets and sits at an elevation where traditional Alpine architecture meets mountainous terrain.

The settlement gained market rights from King Sigismund in 1429, reflecting its importance as a trade point in the mountain region. This early recognition is documented in historical records.

The village celebrates Bavarian traditions through local festivals and regional food throughout the year. Visitors can experience these customs at events that shape life in the community.

The place works well for winter activities, with a ski resort near Alpspitz and mountain lifts for easy access. In summer, hiking trails and alpine meadows invite exploration.

The village uses its location between gentle valleys and steep mountain slopes for a mixed recreation and residential life. This geographic position makes it a transition point between different landscape types.
