Giant Chair Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The Illmensee is an absolute local recreation area. Many activities can be started from here. On the highest, in the Deggenhauser valley, in the Rottach valley, and much more.
Several good locations invite you to strengthen yourself.

Great view from the Höchsten

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 842 meters, the Höchsten is the highest elevation in Upper Swabia and Linzgau. It lies between the communities of Deggenhausertal, Illmensee and Wilhelmsdorf. As a prominent watershed, streams flow either to the Danube or via Lake Constance into the Rhine. From the top, the view extends as far as the Alps. Hiking trails and cycle routes make it a popular destination for nature lovers and athletes.

Regional Swabian-Baden cuisine awaits you in the Restaurant am Höchsten, complemented by fresh herbs from the hotel's own garden. In the cozy atmosphere of wood and stone, homemade drinks and a warm oven invite you to relax, especially in winter.
