Immenstadt im Allgau: Mittagbahn

Few cities in Bavaria have a history as closely tied to the Counts of Montfort as Immenstadt im Allgäu. Their rule shaped the settlement, which received town rights in 1360. Immenstadt lies on the Iller at the northern edge of the Allgäu Alps, with the Großer Alpsee immediately south of town and the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park nearby. The compact centre around Marienplatz retains the character of an old market town, while St Nicholas Church is a familiar local landmark. Today, the town is well placed for lakeside walks, cycling and exploring the Alpine foothills.

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.
