Hiking and excursion opportunities in the Allgäu and Alsace regions

The Allgäu region in Germany offers various hiking routes for different skill levels. One notable tour starts from the Riedbergpass, leading to the Besler, Beslergrat, and Beslerkopf. This route involves exposed sections suitable for experienced hikers and requires sturdy footwear. Another option is the ascent to the Rangiswanger Horn, a 1,616-meter peak in the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park. Hikers can choose between a technical climb from Gunzesried via the Ostertal ravine or a shorter, steeper route starting from Sigiswang.

In the Alsace region, the Montagne des Singes (Monkey Mountain) provides a nature excursion featuring over 200 Barbary macaques living in a 24-hectare forested area. The park offers guided feedings, educational paths, and various amenities including restaurants and a playground, allowing visitors to observe the animals in a semi-natural environment.
