What this crazy East Frisia is in the north of Germany is in the south: the Allgäu. Not bordering on salty water, but bursting with all sorts of really magical places such as the Nebelhorn, the Breitachklamm and a fairytale castle known from the British musical “Tschitti Tschitti Bäng Bäng”.
The people of Allgäu, unfortunately hardly understandable, do not entertain their guests with self-drawn Ottifanten, of course. They prefer to wave cowbells around the clock in front of their holiday apartments in the costume of the “Wild Man”. They also like to lock Austrians in a fun valley to which they alone have access. The people of Allgäu call their dumplings: Nonnafürzle. The people there also have a moderate tendency towards esotericism, which is why they grow enigmatic plants that they either eat or smoke – usually in the evening or on the weekend.
In Sonthofen, a 31-year-old man is said to have found another racing bike that had previously been stolen from a 22-year-old while looking for the racing bike that was stolen from him. The local police reported. Such stories are of course not unusual for an area where flash units or police license plates have disappeared forever. But they also show why we have always liked this wonderful region, the home of the great poet Ludwig Ganghofer (“Truth is error alone”). And the 31-year-old will find the bike stolen from him at some point. An Austrian is probably sitting on it right now.
