Scheidegg, Germany, recognized as a premium health resort

Scheidegg, located in the Allgäu region near the Austrian border, is a recognized Kneipp and therapeutic climate health resort. The municipality, which includes Scheidegg, Scheffau, and Lindenau, is situated on the slopes of the Pfänderstock mountain range.

One of the area's primary attractions is the Waldwelt Skywalk Allgäu, a 420-meter-long steel walkway that winds through the forest, offering views of the surrounding landscape. The park also features a wildlife park with animals such as deer, wild boar, and chamois, as well as playgrounds and dining facilities.

Historically, Scheidegg's development as a wellness destination was bolstered by the construction of the Prinzregent-Luitpold children's clinic in 1912 and its official recognition as a high-altitude climate resort in 1936. Due to its high air and environmental quality, it has been designated a ‘Heilklimatischen Kurort Premium Class’, an distinction held by only 18 other resorts in Germany.
