OBERSTDORF

'Oberstdorf' is a municipality and skiing and hiking town in southwest Germany, located in the Allgäu region of the Bavarian Alps.
At the center of Oberstdorf is a church whose tall spire serves as a landmark for navigating around town. The summits of the Nebelhorn and Fellhorn provide dramatic panoramic views of the alps. The Nebelhorn can be reached with a big cable car. Oberstdorf is one of the highest market towns in Germany.
Germany's modern figure skating center was built on the outside of the town. It has three covered rinks and some of them are accessible to the public, for recreational skating.
Visitors can ride a unique diagonal elevator to the top of the Heini-Klopfer-Skiflugschanze.
