From the top of the Mittagberg, at 1451 metres, a wide view opens up down into the Upper Illertal. There, nestled in lush greenery and rolling hills, lies the municipality of Rettenberg - a village that blends into the landscape like a mosaic with its red roofs. Behind it, a little further on, the district of Kranzegg appears as if it is quietly trying to maintain the connection between valley and mountain.
The meadows are a vibrant summer green, criss-crossed by narrow paths that run through the landscape like bright threads. Small farmsteads and scattered farms nestle on the slopes, and above everything lies a quiet harmony that can only be felt in this region, the Oberallgäu. The forests rise like dark islands from the sea of fields, providing stability and depth, while the mountains on the horizon are already rising to higher heights.
Here, in the heart of Bavaria, time seems to beat to a calmer beat. Rettenberg and Kranzegg rest in a picture that unites tradition, nature and the vastness of the Alpine world. It is a panorama that not only pleases the eye, but also touches the soul - a silent greeting from the Allgäu that unfolds in pure beauty in the light of day.
