The place name Zellen refers to a former monk's cell. On the lake shore near Zellen there was a parish church called Zellin, the place belonged to Linsen in 1356, as a plaque there indicates (Wikipedia: Niedersonthofner See).

Nice easy hike around the Niedersonthofener See.

Our maiden voyage with the new motorhome takes us further into the Allgäu. Today we are heading to a campsite that is idyllically located on the lake. After a short drizzle, we decide to go for a short walk, which then ends with a walk around the lake. Icy wind hits us and we see the snow-covered mountains in the …

The restaurant does not open …
