Weitnau

Weitnau lies in the foothills of the Allgäu Alps in Bavaria, where wooded slopes and pastureland lead into a network of small upland settlements. This market municipality belongs to the Oberallgäu district, an area shaped by farming as much as by its proximity to the Alpine range. Wilhams, one of Weitnau’s districts, was the birthplace of Carl Hirnbein, the 19th-century Allgäu agricultural reformer closely associated with the development of dairy farming and cheese production in the region. Local roads connect the scattered hamlets, while walking and cycling routes make the gently rising countryside easy to approach at a measured pace.
