Rosshaupten: Berghof Kinker - im Allgäu
Forggensee defines the setting of Rosshaupten — the broad Lech reservoir meets rolling Allgäu pastureland beneath the Bavarian Alps. The municipality lies in the Ostallgäu district, north of Füssen, amid working farms, scattered hamlets and wooded slopes. Forggensee was created in 1954 by damming the Lech and forms part of the river’s hydropower and flood-control system. Its shoreline and surrounding fields give Rosshaupten an open foothill character, while the higher limestone ranges to the south place the settlement firmly in Bavaria’s alpine borderland. The wider Allgäu region is closely associated with dairy farming and mountain-pasture traditions.

Rosshaupten lies beside Forggensee in Bavaria’s Allgäu foothills, where the Lech is held in a broad reservoir below the northern Alps. The village stands in the Ostallgäu district, between the lakeside country north of Füssen and the pastoral uplands that shape this part of southern Bavaria. Forggensee is Germany’s largest reservoir by surface area, and its seasonal water levels make it a defining presence rather than a conventional alpine lake. Rosshaupten’s parish church of St Andrew anchors the settlement, while Allgäu dairy farming remains part of the area’s everyday identity.

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.
