Ofterschwang: Allgäuer Berghof - Erlebnishof
Ofterschwang combines working Allgäu farming traditions with a mountain-sports focus in a way that reflects its position above the Iller Valley on the northern edge of the Allgäu Alps. Scattered hamlets and farmsteads lie among rolling foothills, while the terrain rises towards the Hörnergruppe. The slopes around Ofterschwang and neighbouring Gunzesried form a ski area that has hosted Alpine Ski World Cup races. Timber-clad houses and pasture farming remain central to the local character, alongside the wider Allgäu dairy tradition known for products including Allgäuer Bergkäse. The municipality belongs to Bavaria's Oberallgäu district.

Ofterschwang occupies the eastern flank of the Iller valley in Bavaria’s Oberallgäu district, beneath the foothills of the Allgäu Alps. Meadows and scattered farmsteads climb from the valley toward Ofterschwanger Horn and the Hörnergruppe, giving the municipality its distinctly upland character. The Ofterschwang–Gunzesried ski area reflects a region shaped by Alpine farming as well as winter sport. Ofterschwang has also featured on the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup calendar, with races held on its slopes. In warmer months, walking and cycling routes connect the settlements and pastures of the Oberallgäu. Move on to other webcams in Bavaria to compare landscapes and settings around the Allgäu Alps.

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.
