The Wiesengänger route is the easiest of the three main routes in the Allgäu hiking trilogy, which runs through the entire Allgäu at three altitudes. On mostly flat paths, the Wiesengänger route takes hikers through the beautiful hilly landscape in the west and the terraced landscape in the east and lower allgäu.
The hiking trilogy Allgäu leads along 876 kilometers and at three altitudes across the entire Allgäu. In contrast to other long-distance hiking trails, there is no fixed starting and finishing point for the hiking trilogy. Hikers can flexibly put together their individual tours from the three main routes (water strider, meadow walker and sky striker), which are divided into stages and linked by connecting paths. Pleasure hikers and beginners who will primarily be on the Wiesengänger route can also try out the other routes as they wish. The hiking trilogy has not only been divided into three main routes, but also into nine different adventure areas. These different regions all tell special stories about their nature, culture or geology as well as the people who live here.
These stories are brought closer to hikers through a total of 33 portal, theme and stage locations, where special places, symbols and entertainment stations have been set up. This means that hikers along the hiking trilogy can not only get to know the wonderful Allgäu with its varied landscape, but also learn a lot about the holiday region and its residents. Hiking becomes an all-encompassing experience that promises the best holiday fun. The routes of the Allgäu hiking trilogy are of course excellently signposted; The so-called Steinmännle signet reliably shows hikers the way. The hiking trilogy is also characterized by special services. For example, hiking enthusiasts can have their luggage taken from one stage location to the next by the Allgäu shuttle. Below we would like to take a closer look at the Wiesengänger route.
The 397 kilometer-long meadow walker route leads in easy stages through the hilly landscape in the westallgäu and the terraced landscape in the east and lower allgäu. The focus here is on enjoying nature when hiking on largely flat paths. The hikers walk through flowering meadows, green forests and along wild, romantic streams. They encounter drumlins, old moraines and glacial moors while mainly traveling in the trilogy rooms “Happiness Paths” and “Nature Conservation Chambers”. Around health resorts like Bad Wörishofen or Bad Grönenbach, hiking is about reflecting on the essentials in life and gathering new strength for the hectic everyday life. For example, in Bad Wörishofen, the home of the famous Sebastian Kneipp, let yourself be pampered by treatments based on the healing power of water. Enjoy the peace and space of the beautiful Allgäu landscape and recharge your batteries for body, mind and soul while hiking here.
The Wiesengänger route leads past many tranquil places and towns steeped in history. Particularly worthwhile for a longer stay: the city of Wangen with its magnificent old town. Historic buildings and sights, as well as romantic cafés and restaurants, are lined up along cute streets. The first stage of the Wiesengänger route leads from Marktoberdorf to the former Free Imperial City of Kaufbeuren.
Fantastic landscape impressions, interesting places and cities as well as plenty of time to gather new energy for everyday life - hiking on the Wiesengänger route promises fun, relaxation and lots of wonderful holiday impressions.
