Sonthofen

Sonthofen

Sonthofen is located in the south of Bavaria and is considered the southernmost city in Germany. Surrounded by the mighty peaks of the Allgäu Alps, it is an ideal destination for a convertible tour through the Allgäu. The combination of urban charm, alpine surroundings, and Bavarian hospitality makes Sonthofen particularly appealing for all those who wish to combine nature and driving pleasure. As a state-recognized spa town, the city offers a pleasant climate, many hours of sunshine, and a relaxed atmosphere that can be experienced particularly intensively with the top down.

Driving Pleasure with a View

For convertible drivers, the region around Sonthofen is a little paradise. The winding roads pass by alpine meadows, crystal-clear streams, and towering rock walls. The route along the German Alpine Road, which stretches from Lindau to Berchtesgaden and is considered one of the most scenic sections, is particularly recommended. A detour to the nearby Oberstdorf or the famous Breitach Gorge is just as appealing as the drive over the Riedberg Pass – the highest drivable pass in Germany.

Between Tradition and Nature

Sonthofen itself offers not only an impressive mountain backdrop but also cultural and regional specialties. The city has a long history, which can be seen, among other things, in the parish church of St. Michael. In the local museum, one can learn more about life in the Allgäu, while small cafés and guesthouses invite visitors to linger. The weekly market with products from the region is a great place to stock up on local specialties – perfect for a small picnic on the go.

Impressive Allgäu Moments on the Convertible Tour

A convertible tour through Bavaria would be incomplete without a stop in Sonthofen. The fresh mountain air, the impressive Alpine panorama, and the varied route make the stay an unforgettable experience. Whether as a stopover or starting point – Sonthofen is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the Allgäu intensively and openly.
