Durach: Flugplatz Kempten-Durach - Grünten
Among the communities of Bavaria, Durach stands out for Kempten-Durach Airport, an airfield set on the broad Allgäu foothills below Grünten. The 1,738-metre Grünten is a prominent summit of the Allgäu Alps, rising south of the town above the transition from rolling agricultural land to the mountain range. Durach lies beside Kempten, the principal urban centre of the Allgäu, and its setting reflects a region where working farmland and small settlements meet the northern fringe of the Alps. The Iller runs through nearby Kempten before joining the Danube. With a grass runway and aviation facilities embedded in this open terrain, the airport gives Durach an identity distinct from neighbouring rural communities.

Durach is best known in Bavaria for its Allgäu setting beside the Durach stream, just south of Kempten. The municipality occupies rolling Alpine foothills, where fields and woodland lead south toward the higher Allgäu ranges; the Iller valley is an important feature of the wider local geography. St. Othmar’s parish church forms a focal point in the settlement, while dairy farming and the seasonal use of Alpine pastures link Durach to enduring Allgäu traditions. Its proximity to Kempten highlights the contrast between an established regional centre and the rural uplands around it.

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.
