Allgäu's seven moor baths draw tourists with natural and health benefits

The Allgäu region in southern Germany features seven publicly accessible moor baths that combine natural water, scenic surroundings and purported health effects such as muscle relaxation and improved circulation. The sites include the high‑moor bath at Oberjoch, the historic moor bath in Oberstdorf (originally built in 1883 and rebuilt in 1929), the moor swimming pool at Reichenbach, the free‑entry facility at Herlazhofen, the WiWaLaMoor at Wildpoldsried, the Moorweiher in Buchenberg and the Waldsee at Lindenberg.

Each location offers amenities such as children's pools, lawns, walking trails, and nearby gastronomy – ranging from kiosks and beer gardens to full‑service restaurants. Entry is generally free with optional donations, and many sites provide educational moor‑learning paths. The baths are promoted as both recreational spots and natural wellness venues.

Visitors can enjoy a chlorine‑free swimming experience, explore historic structures, and take advantage of surrounding leisure infrastructure, making the moor baths a distinctive attraction in the Allgäu countryside.
