Discover Lindenberg i.Allgäu

If you’re looking for a hotel in Lindenberg i.Allgäu, you can choose your destination based on your plans: nature at Waldsee, scenic trails, local culture and recurring events each offer a different focus. First, consider what you’d like to be at the center of your stay. The places and activities vary depending on whether you’re planning time outdoors, a museum visit or a look at the town’s history.

Nature and trails

At the Waldsee recreation area in Lindenberg, you can swim, jog, hike and cycle. Waldsee is 765 meters above sea level and, according to the City of Lindenberg, Germany’s highest moorland swimming lake. Seasonal conditions may affect these recreational activities, particularly if swimming or outdoor exercise is part of your travel plans.

The “Around Lindenberg” hiking trail passes the paths near the mountain cemetery, where you can enjoy a view of the Nagelfluhkette. The Lindenberg Trilogy Trail offers a different experience: it follows the shore of Waldsee and ends back at the starting and welcome point at the German Hat Museum. The routes are therefore quite different: one offers a view of the Nagelfluhkette near the mountain cemetery, while the other follows the lakeshore and returns to the Hat Museum. Check current trail conditions in advance.

Museum and local history

The German Hat Museum is housed in the former Ottmar-Reich hat factory in Lindenberg. The Nadenberg observation tower features a small exhibition of pictures about the tower’s history. It was built in 1911 under the name “Siebenländerblick.” The Hat Museum’s permanent exhibition and the small display about the tower’s history thus cater to different cultural interests.

The parish church of St. Peter and Paul is considered a landmark of Lindenberg, and its imposing domed towers shape the townscape. The old cemetery at the Church of St. Aurelius is now a cemetery park and a small oasis with a rich history in the heart of the town. Together, the two sites reveal different aspects of local history: a distinctive church in the townscape and a historic cemetery park.

Recurring events and indoor swimming pool

Public tours of the permanent exhibition at the German Hat Museum take place at 3 p.m. on the first Sunday of every month. The Lindenberg weekly market is held every Saturday morning in the town square by the town hall and offers fresh, local products. The market therefore takes place weekly on Saturday, while the museum tour is held on one Sunday each month. If either event is important to your plans, check that it is going ahead before you visit—check with the museum for tours and locally for the market.

The Lindenberg indoor swimming pool has a 25-meter swimming pool with five lanes, a non-swimmer pool and a children’s area. The indoor pool also has a textile steam bath and an AquaCross facility. When planning a swim, you can compare Waldsee and the indoor pool based on their different offerings: at Waldsee, you can also jog, hike and cycle, in addition to swimming; the indoor pool has different pool areas. Check the indoor pool’s current operating information before your visit.
