Hike to the Staufner Viehscheid with Hans-Jörg

As summer draws to a close and autumn bathes the Allgäu in golden light, it’s that time of year again: The traditional Viehscheid takes place in Oberstaufen—a true highlight for locals and visitors alike. If you’d like to experience this special event in an authentic way, you can combine it with a leisurely, guided hike from the hotel to the Scheideplatz on Friday, September 11, 2026. Nature, exercise, and living tradition—there’s hardly a better way to spend a day.

Pack a small backpack with water—feel free to ask for a bottle at the front desk. Be sure to bring a light jacket as well, since the weather in the mountains can change quickly. Sturdy shoes are recommended, even though the trail is mostly easy to walk on.
