For centuries the people here lived from cattle and alpine farming, and to this day a traditional mountain-farming culture shapes the valley, whose deliberate cultivation early earned the municipality the reputation of a pioneer of gentle tourism and nature conservation. The nearby Allg\u00e4u High Alps nature reserve preserves an exceptionally species-rich mountain flora that thrives on the calcareous ground and has long attracted botanists.<\/p>\n<p>Above the main village the Jochstra\u00dfe winds up in numerous tight hairpin bends to the Oberjoch, which at around 1,180 metres is among the highest-lying places in Germany and is at the same time one of the most snow-sure winter sports spots in the Allg\u00e4u. The winding pass road, which was widened in the 1930s, opened up the once remote high moor and made it accessible to tourism. As a health-climate spa and at the same time an original mountain-farming valley, Bad Hindelang combines the genuine, organically grown world of the Allg\u00e4u Alps with a long tradition of recreation in pure, clear high-altitude air. The surrounding alpine pastures and dairies also keep the heritage of cheesemaking alive, and in the village core long-handed-down L\u00fcftlmalereien recall the piety and pride of earlier generations.<\/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><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad Hindelang ist ein heilklimatischer Kurort in den Allg\u00e4uer Hochalpen, \u00fcber den die ber\u00fchmte Jochstra\u00dfe mit ihren 106 Kehren zum Passort Oberjoch hinauff\u00fchrt, einem der h\u00f6chstgelegenen D\u00f6rfer Deutschlands.
