Historical treasure with the guarantee to feel good

The high peaks have been left to the neighbours in Bavaria, Austria and Switzerland. But the foothills of the Alps have their own charm too and the town of Wangen in the Allgäu is particularly delightful. The old town with its towers, archways, smart patricians’ houses and brightly-colored artisan’s houses with cunningly crafted corbels is a protected historical monument. Picturesque and carefully restored, the town has one of the most attractive collections of streets in the whole south of Germany. Almost a million visitors a year come to the town, drawn by its international fame as a “medieval jewel” set in one of the most charming landscapes in Europe, with much to offer to those seeking either culture or relaxation.
