Bolsterlang: Grasgehren - Bolgengrat
Bolsterlang is best known within Bavaria for the Hörnerbahn, a cable car serving the slopes of the Hörnergruppe in the Allgäu Alps. The municipality lies in the Oberallgäu district, where open alpine pasture meets conifer woodland beneath a chain of rounded summits. It is one of the Hörnerdörfer, a group of mountain communities linked by the geography and farming traditions of this part of the Allgäu. Summer grazing and dairy production remain important elements of regional culture. Walking routes and ski lifts make the higher ground central to local life, while the village retains the agricultural character typical of the Bavarian Alps.

Bolsterlang combines the working rhythm of Allgäu mountain pastures with the activity of a four-season resort, reflecting its position beneath the Hörnergruppe in the Allgäu Alps. The village lies near the foot of Bolsterlanger Horn, while the Iller valley opens to the west and connects this upland area with the wider Oberallgäu. Alpine farming remains part of local life: cattle are taken to high summer pastures, a tradition that also shapes the region’s dairy culture. In winter, the Hörnerbahn and local pistes make Bolsterlang a base for skiing; warmer months bring walkers and cyclists to mountain roads and trails.

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.
