Summer is here and now!
The sun is shining, the mountain peaks beckon you and you are staying at the Oberstdorf Hostel? Well then, the summer action throughout the Allgäu Alps can begin.
Summertime in the Allgäu means many activities in the wunderful nature. There is MORE than just biking and hiking – we’ll show you! Here you’ll find the Top 5 highlights in Oberstdorf...
• Swimming and water fun at our numerous lakes.
• Summer luge at the summertime toboggan run at Söllereck or near Immenstadt.
• Bungee jumping to experience the ultimate adrenaline kick at the Heini-Klopfer ski jump from May through October on weekends and holidays.
• Island Lake Allgäu for adrenaline-filled wakeboarding, waterskiing, monoskiing or wakeskating...
• Of course, you can also try stand-up paddling (SUP) in the Allgäu and enjoy the latest trend in the refreshingly cool water. There are also SUP schools and rental services.
Let’s go to the climbing wall!
The Allgäu region – and in particular the Oberstdorf Hostel – offers you great opportunities for bouldering and climbing. That is because we offer you incredible climbing hotspots in the surrounding area.
For your Allgäu climbing adventure, you have the choice: fixed rope routes, climbing gardens, climbing gyms and bouldering barn. Of course, we would also be more than happy to advise you at the hostel regarding your personal climbing expectations and needs
The Allgäu Alps - How on earth will you find your way around here?

Pizza is ALWAYS a good idea!!!
In our hostel workshop, also known as the kitchen 😄, we've already created many different pizzas and had discussions about THE question: Is pineapple on pizza a must 👍 or a no-go 👎? What do you think? 🍕 #oberstdorfhostel #oberstdorf #lookingforward #goodvibes #staysafe #pizzatime #pizzalovers #hostelvibes #cookingathome #cookingwithlove #foodlove #allgäuholiday

Tour to the "local mountain"
Don't we have an amazing view from our "hostel mountain"? 😎☀ Have you ever been to the Geißberg near Tiefenbach? #niceview #geißberg #hikingadventures #mountainlover #allgäu #allgäutourist #visitallgäu #oberstdorfhostel #UrlaubsWG
Welcome to the hostel chill area!
Our bar now also features a cool lounge with 360° floor-to-ceiling windows. Just relax in an armchair, enjoy the panoramic view, and sip a cocktail. What more could you want?!
Let's look at it positively:
It's the last Monday of the week. And there's a public holiday to boot. So stay relaxed, like our buddy here, and look forward to the weekend. Because the mountains are waiting, and anticipation is half the fun, as they say 😉✌
A little "throwback"
SLA youth trip to Oberstdorf in February 2020 - small but excellent group 😉
Perfect weather, amazing view, but still empty chairs.
