Wengen in Allgau

Wengen,
I have added a few things since the last post, a couple of photographs,a few links etc.
It is now spring here and the weather is changable, at the moment it is overcast and cold but as you see from the photos we do tend get a lot of snow here .
The village has a population of around 500 and mostly agricultural and forestry work is carried out in the vicinity.
We are close to Kempten one of the oldest cities in Germany. It was a roman settlement and remains of the roman city can be viewed there.
The town of Obertsdorf famous for its world championship ski jumps lay about 50 km. away on the Austrian border,and the picturebook Bavarian castle of Neuschwanstein and its beautiful mountains are also only 50 km. away.
There are so many beautiful wander ways here and weekends many people come here and walk to the nearby Alm Wenger Egg, or on the Karl Hirnbein Weg. Many cyclists travel to and through Wengen.
There are good rail and bus links from Kempten to Munich,Stuttgart and major cities.
From Friedrichshafen ( Bodensee ) there are regular flights to and from London Stansted with Ryan Air for prices as low as €0,01 plus tax so we are easy to reach here in Allgau.
the Bodensee region ,Switzerland and Austria are all within easy reach.So there is no better place to come to experience Bavaria at its best.Here to Wengen
