Blaichach: Talstation Ossi-Reichert-Bahn
The Ossi-Reichert-Bahn base station sits on the slopes of Ofterschwanger Horn in Bavaria, Germany, where Allgäu meadows rise into forested Alpine ridges. It belongs to the Ofterschwang–Gunzesried mountain area in Oberallgäu, close to Blaichach. The lift infrastructure follows a broad, maintained corridor between open grassland and the forest edge, illustrating the working landscape of the northern Allgäu Alps. Its name honours Ossi Reichert, the Sonthofen-born alpine skier who won Olympic gold in giant slalom at Cortina d’Ampezzo in 1956. Farming has long shaped these foothills, while the slopes also serve mountain recreation.

Blaichach occupies the Iller valley in Bavaria’s Allgäu region, beneath the northern foothills of the Allgäu Alps. The Iller runs north through the town’s broad valley landscape, while the municipality also extends into the Gunzesried Valley, where settled farmland gives way to higher alpine pasture country. Blaichach belongs to an area shaped by dairy farming and the seasonal movement of cattle between valley farms and mountain pastures, a tradition still central to Allgäu rural life. Its position between Immenstadt and Sonthofen makes it a useful point for getting to know this mountain-fringed part of southern Germany.

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.
