UNESCO World Heritage Site "Alpine Farming

In the Allgäu, the knowledge acquired over many centuries of treating nature with care is passed down from generation to generation. In the Alpwirtschaft, the cultural landscape is maintained and preserved. On the one hand, this is done through targeted grazing with young cattle and cows, which graze the large alpine pastures and thus ensure that these areas do not become overgrown. This is the only way that the colorful alpine flowers can grow again every year and the great biodiversity can develop. On the other hand, the alpine farmers themselves also ensure this by looking after the livestock and consciously caring for nature by hand, for example by regulating the tree growth.

This management in and with nature has also been transferred to the valley. The local farmers have jointly committed themselves to the "Ökomodell Hindelang", whose criteria ensure that people, animals and nature live in harmony with each other and ensure the preservation of the landscape.
