Top Attractions in Oberstdorf

Fellhorn Lift

The Fellhorn Lift is a two-section gondola lift that runs from Birgsautal in Oberstdorf to the Fellhorn 1,967 metres above sea level . The Fellhornbahn I, a cable car built by Habegger, entered service in 1972. It had a length of 1,869 metres and climbed through a height of 863 metres. The two track cables of each cable car route had a dimater of 50 mm, the haulage cable was 28 mm thick. Drive for the two cable cars, with their capacity of 100 passengers, was provided by an engine at the bottom station delivering 552 kW. The first section had three pylons; there were 54, 51 and 24 metres high. Since the construction of the parallel Fellhornbahn II , Fellhornbahn I has been used mainly in summer. The upper section, the Gipfelbahn, built in 1973, has a length of 845.18 metres, has two pylons and climbs through 190 metres. It is driven by a 283 kW engine at the middle station. The two track cables of the second section have a diameter of 39 mm; the haulage cable is 20 mm thick. The Gipfelbahn only has one car with a capacity of 60 passengers. With a maximum speed of 8 m/s it is able to transport 450 people per hour over this short stretch. Since 2005, the Kleinwalsertaler Bergbahn , Riezlern, has been the only owner of the Fellhorn Lift. The main shareholders of the KBB are the Allgäuer Überlandwerk, Kempten, and the Raiffeisen Holding Kleinwalsertal. In winter 2006/2007, a new gondola lift, the Fellhornbahn II, was built parallel to the first section by Leitner with 8-seater cabins or gondolas. It is 2,813 metres long and rises through 855 metres. At a height of about 1,300 metres it has a middle station at which passengers may board and alight and where the garage for the gondolas is based. Although the gondolas are in fact coupled and decoupled here, there is only one section because the cable runs continuously from the valley station to the top station. It is powered from the top station and hydraulically tensioned in the bottom station. It has a top speed of 6 m/s and transport capacity of 2,400 passengers per hour. It is Germany's longest single-cable gondola lift. The Faistenoy-Höfle double chairlift and the Höfle draglift have therefore been dismantled.

Mädelegabel

The Mädelegabel is a 2,645 metre high mountain, made of main dolomite, in the Allgäu Alps near Oberstdorf. It is one of the best-known and most-climbed high peaks in the German Alps, Within the Allgäu Alps it is the fourth-highest summit, with rock faces up to 400 metres high. Together with the Trettachspitze and the Hochfrottspitze it forms the famous triumvirate of peaks on the main crest of the Allgäu. Its name comes from Mähder a mown mountain pasture in the vicinity and gabel from the appearance of the triumvirate to the north which recalls a fork . Originally the Mädelegabel was the name for all three peaks of the triumvirate; only later were they distinguished from one another by name. The border between Bavaria and Austria runs along the mountain ridge. On its southeastern slopes is the Schwarzmilzferner, a small glacier. The extremely popular Heilbronn Way runs past the summit, below it and to the south.

Where is this?

GuRoute likes to place attractions inside other attractions. So, maybe it's in a city, or maybe it's inside a particular park in that city. Maybe your attraction is a huge park that spans half the county, or multiple counties.

Determining where this attraction is gives it context - if it's in a park, you'll be able to see it alongside all the other attractions in that park. And that helps define the park.

GuRoute will automatically calculate a parent region for this attraction. You can change it if there is something more appropriate.
