Buchenberg: Schwärzenlifte - Eschach - Oberallgäu - Blick zum Gletschergumpen und zur Gletscheralp
Few places in the Allgäu have a history as closely tied to dairy farming as Buchenberg. Set among the rolling uplands southwest of Kempten, the municipality belongs to a working rural area of grassland, scattered farmsteads and wooded rises, with the Iller valley lying to the east. The nearby Eschach district is home to the Schwärzenlifte, a small local ski area whose lift lines cross open slopes. This is the Allgäu of farm production rather than resort density: cattle pasture supports the dairy tradition for which the region is known, including its long-established cheese-making culture. Paths, minor roads and elevated fields give the area an open, settled character, while the foothills lead south towards the Allgäu Alps.

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.
