This is a great destination, or it can be combined with a hike; in any case, it's worth a visit.

Woohoo, there's something to celebrate, this pointless gondola is gone again and thus you have a great mountain view again, provided the Allgäu weather god is in a good mood. The current, rusty iron frame doesn't really bother.

You should definitely visit the St. Magnus Church. I know many churches in the Allgäu region, and this one is certainly one of the most beautiful, alongside Nesselwang, Sulzberg, and Obergünzburg. I've been inside several times but couldn't take photos due to other visitors. I won't give up on capturing the details, as there are very many.

As Kempten residents, we long avoided it, but the path is beautiful along its entire length from Ahegg to Weitnau. I now use the "Protective Wax" from Dynamic and nearby I discovered a pressure washer at the gas station. On the way, I also spotted a hummingbird hawk-moth. Very small but not a hummingbird. https://youtu.be/V8FgTsvxtio
