Discover Jungholz

Jungholz combines varied trails, winter experiences and distinctive local impressions. Anyone looking for a mix of exercise, observing nature and small discoveries during their holiday will find several ideas here for planning each day. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can consider whether your trip should focus more on hiking, snow-based experiences, regional culture or a flexible combination of these.

Hiking trails for different daily itineraries

The Jungholz Letter Trail is a moderately difficult themed trail. It is 7.36 km long; the stated duration is 2 hours and 5 minutes. This makes it easy to include the trail in your travel plans as a clearly defined outing. The route combines hiking with a thematic approach and gives families a specific reason to spend time together outdoors without planning the entire day around a long tour.

Another option is the moderately difficult winter hike from Jungholz via Reuterwanne and Alpe Stubental and back. The stated duration is around three hours. This route offers views of the Wertach Valley and the summit of Sorgschrofen. Especially in winter, this creates a different kind of trip than the themed trail: the landscape and views take centre stage, while the approximate duration allows for separate planning of the day.

On the hike from Jungholz to Alpe Stubental, you reach Alpe Stubental after around one hour. There you will find good food and drinks. This may appeal to travellers who would like to combine a hike with a planned break.

Winter, snow and your first turns

Snow Learnland is located next to the car park. People with a valid lift pass can learn and practise their first turns in the snow there. Anyone planning a winter holiday can consider this offer as a separate part of their trip. It complements the winter hike with an activity focused on practising in the snow. The holiday apartment or holiday home thus becomes the starting point for a holiday whose focus can vary from hiking to winter sports depending on the day.

Culture and nature in the village

There are also things to discover in Jungholz away from the trails. The present-day parish church of Jungholz was consecrated in 1789. A guided herb walk starts at the parish church. This allows you to include both a cultural landmark and a nature-based activity in your personal travel plans without making every day of your holiday look the same.

The Jungholz stream is also part of the village’s natural character. It is a small stony stream with brown trout. This detail adds a peaceful, nature-oriented aspect to the picture of Jungholz. Travelling with children, you can deliberately plan these different impressions alongside more active pursuits: a trail, a winter activity, a viewpoint or a brief moment by the stream can each provide a different focus.

Getting there and choosing the right accommodation

Bus route 48 runs from Sonthofen in the Allgäu to Jungholz; Sonthofen is one of the nearest railway stations. This connection is therefore an important point of reference when travelling by public transport. On the “Jungholz around Grüntensee and back” route, the Jungholz bus stop is around 150 metres from the starting point. This information applies expressly to this route and can be taken into account when planning this outing.

A suitable accommodation in Jungholz should above all match your preferred holiday pace. If you would like to spend several days hiking and enjoying nature, the Letter Trail, the winter hike and Alpe Stubental offer different ideas. For a winter stay, Snow Learnland can also be included. Those interested in culture can consider the parish church and the guided herb walk. In this way, searching for a holiday apartment not only helps with finding somewhere to stay, but also with defining the desired character of your stay.
