Tannheim combines protected nature, varied hiking experiences and insights into the history of the Tannheim Valley. The municipality includes the Vilsalpsee Nature Reserve, while Neunerköpfle offers both short and longer hikes. In addition, a local history museum, a listed historic house and a climbing hall invite you to vary the way you spend your holiday. When looking for a holiday apartment in Tannheim, you can therefore consider whether your trip should focus more on lake and mountain experiences, culture or active pursuits.

Vilsalpsee Nature Reserve and Trails through the Mountains

The deep-blue Vilsalpsee lies in a nature reserve surrounded by mountains. A walk leads to the lake and offers a more peaceful way to experience the landscape. Those who want to explore nature in greater depth will find four designated hiking trails in the nature reserve. This allows travel plans to be adapted to different preferences: a stay can include a relaxing walk as well as several hikes through the protected landscape.

Hiking at Neunerköpfle

An 8-seater gondola lift reaches Neunerköpfle in 10 minutes. From there, Neunerköpfle is the starting point for short and longer hikes. The 9erlebnis hiking trail adds to this selection with 11 stations providing information about the diverse natural environment, the unique mountain world and the animal kingdom. Admission to the 9erlebnis hiking trail is free, while the lift ride is subject to a charge. This combination of a mountain ascent, information stations and different trail lengths provides a clear basis for planning active days during your holiday.

Culture and Activities for Varied Holiday Days

The Tannheim Valley Local History Museum tells the story of the Tannheim Valley and adds a cultural element to the natural experiences. Group and coach visits are possible at any time on request. Felixe Mina's Haus, a listed historic house, is also part of Tannheim's cultural heritage. Those looking for a sporting alternative will find a family-friendly climbing hall with a larger bouldering area and rope routes at the Tannheim Climbing and Bouldering Centre. This means that, in addition to hiking, there are activities for days when you prefer a different form of exercise or discovery.

Which Holiday Apartment Suits Your Travel Plans?

In Tannheim, your choice of accommodation can sensibly be based on the experiences you are planning. If Vilsalpsee and the hiking trails are the main focus, you can structure your days around walks and longer tours. Neunerköpfle adds a mountain ride and various hiking options to your plans. For a varied stay, these natural experiences can be combined with a visit to the local history museum, a look at Felixe Mina's Haus or a trip to the climbing hall. In winter, Neunerköpfle is a ski area, offering another seasonal perspective on the destination.

Those looking for a holiday apartment in Tannheim will therefore find a starting point for very different travel ideas: protected landscapes at Vilsalpsee, informative trails, mountain hikes, regional history and climbing.
