But the Allgäu has much more to offer than just the cooling bathing lakes. The region is known for its picturesque landscape, which is perfect for hiking and cycling.

Along the Iller, bike paths lead to sights and amusement parks that appeal to families and nature lovers alike. The refreshments in traditional alpine pastures make every tour enjoy.

For the swimmers, it is important to note that cold water can load the body. The rule of thumb says: The water temperature in degrees Celsius corresponds to the recommended time in the water in minutes. This means that at 17 degrees it could be held in the water for a maximum of 17 minutes, because lower temperatures pose the risk of overcooling.
