Buchenberg: Haus am Blender
Haus am Blender lies above the Iller valley, where rolling Allgäu foothills are divided between pasture, fields and woodland. It stands near Buchenberg and the Blender, a 1,072-metre hill in the pre-Alpine countryside south-west of Kempten. This is a working rural region rather than a resort settlement: farm lanes, scattered holdings and managed grassland give the terrain its open, patterned character. Cattle farming and dairying remain central to Allgäu identity, reflected in products such as Allgäuer Bergkäse, a protected regional mountain cheese. The surrounding hills provide a quieter counterpoint to the higher Allgäu Alps farther south, while the Iller valley forms an important north–south corridor through the region.

Among the communities of Bavaria, Buchenberg stands out for its elevated position in the Allgäu foothills, west of Kempten and north of the Allgäu Alps. The municipality spreads across a rural upland of pasture, woodland and small settlements rather than a single dense urban centre. This is classic Allgäu country: dairy farming has long shaped local life, and the region is widely associated with milk, butter and cheese. Roads through the surrounding hills link open farmland with forested stretches, while the Alps become more prominent to the south. Buchenberg suits travellers looking beyond Bavaria’s large cities and towards the working landscapes of the Allgäu.

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.
