From up here a famous summit panorama opens up, which on clear days is said to take in well over four hundred peaks, from the Bavarian mountains across the Swiss Alps to the distant Dolomites.<\/p>\n<p>Oberstdorf itself, the southernmost market town in Germany, has transformed since the late 19th century from a farming village into a well-known climatic health resort and winter sports destination. It was above all ski jumping that made it internationally famous, for on the neighbouring Schattenberg the opening jump of the Four Hills Tournament is traditionally held. The Nebelhorn cableway, one of the oldest large-cabin cableways in the Alps, opened up the summit as early as the 1920s and made the Allg\u00e4u high mountains comfortably accessible without robbing them of their reputation as a paradise for hikers, mountaineers and paragliders. In more recent times the old cableways have been replaced by modern installations, and at the summit an airy viewing platform recalls that the Nebelhorn has remained, for over a century, a place of grand vistas, where the history of Bavarian mountain tourism is concentrated as at scarcely any other point.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/wanderschuhe\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hiking boots \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/schichtenprinzip-bekleidung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Layering guide for clothing \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-tages-bergwanderung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Day-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-huettentour\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hut-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/huettenwandern-einsteiger\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hut hiking for beginners \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Das Nebelhorn \u00fcber Oberstdorf ist mit 2.224 m einer der bekanntesten Aussichtsberge des Allg\u00e4us; vom Gipfel reicht der Blick auf weit \u00fcber 400 Berge.
