Hinterstein: Gästehaus Pfannenhölzer - Bad Hindelang
Built around mountain farms in the upper Ostrach valley, Hinterstein grew into a small Allgäu settlement within the municipality of Bad Hindelang. The village lies among the steep valleys and limestone summits of the Allgäu Alps, close to the headwaters of the Ostrach, which continues north through Bad Hindelang. Hinterstein retains the rural character of an Alpine farming community, where meadows, woodland and high pastures shape the settled valley floor. It is also a practical starting point for walks and mountain routes into the surrounding protected uplands, while the traditional seasonal use of Alpine pastures remains part of the region’s identity.

Hinterstein sits at the head of the Ostrachtal beside the Ostrach River in Bavaria’s Allgäu, where steep Alpine slopes enclose a small settlement in the municipality of Bad Hindelang. The village is surrounded by the Allgäu Alps, and the route beyond it continues into a high mountain valley rather than towards another town, giving Hinterstein a distinct end-of-valley character. It is a useful base for routes into the nearby Allgäu High Alps protected area. Alpine pasture farming remains part of local life, while Bad Hindelang’s Viehscheid marks the autumn return of cattle from summer grazing.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
