Here I will introduce you to the beautiful town of Oberstdorf, which is a perfect place to start exploring the Alps. In winter there are lots of possibilities to go skiing, in summer you can hike...

Check out the travelogue of the Breitachklamm, a canyon close to Oberstdorf, which is worth to visit in summer as well as in winter.

More Information you can find on the official webpage of Oberstdorf, which contains a broad view on touristical aspects of the town:

If only we had more time down here, I would like to hike and take in the beauty-but moving on after short one day in our month long trip around Munich. Thanks for the sites, though and good pics

Hi Christian, this looks like a great area for hiking -- and riding in cable cars!
