A perfect winter day
Combine the best of two worlds: Start the day with pure relaxation after a hearty Allgäu breakfast. Treat yourself to some time out in the wellness area & tropical pool of the neighboring Center Parcs Park Allgäu.
Warm up in the sauna or whirlpool before rounding off the day: In the late afternoon, visit one of the atmospheric markets and enjoy a hot mulled wine. This is pure winter enjoyment!
