Oberstdorf is a beautiful municipality (which is like a town or small city) located in southwest Germany. It sits right in the middle of the amazing Allgäu Alps mountain range. Many people love to visit Oberstdorf for fun outdoor activities like walking, hiking, and skiing.
This town is special because it's one of the highest towns in all of Germany. It's also the very furthest south you can go in Germany! Oberstdorf is right next to the country of Austria, making it a great spot for exploring both countries.

Oberstdorf is surrounded by several impressive mountains. These mountains offer incredible views of the area. Two of the most famous mountains are the Nebelhorn and the Fellhorn.
To help people reach the top of these tall mountains, there are many cable cars. These cable cars offer a fun ride and amazing views as you go up. Once at the top, you can enjoy the fresh air and stunning scenery.
