Sometimes it’s the little things: a shaded path through a gorge, the gentle sound of a mountain stream, cool lake water on your skin and suddenly a summer day feels lighter.

At Alma, we believe Oberstdorf is not only a place to experience, but also a place to truly feel. And water, especially, gives you something special here: it sparkles in clear lakes, ripples over smooth stones, rushes powerfully as waterfalls and time and again reminds us how good simplicity can feel.

We ourselves love walking barefoot through a stream, dipping our feet into cold water after a hike, or stacking small stone cairns along the riverbank. These little rituals help us slow down and maybe they’ll give you that feeling of truly having arrived, too.

Perhaps you’re sitting by Lake Freibergsee, wandering through the wild gorge landscape toward Seealpe, or following the Trettach upstream. Yet what you experience depends not only on the path you choose, but on how you walk it.

And if you like, we’re happy to share our very personal favorite water spots with you: small secrets you won’t find on any map, but places that mean a lot to us.

At home in nature.
365 days. For fresh paths.
