Alp unfortunately no longer managed since 2025😞🤷‍♂️ "The alp is currently closed! As of 2025. As soon as information about a reopening or new operators is available, it will be added." https://share.google/DBFrc8vvw9TNBsgme

From here you have a fantastic view into the Weißachtal valley. The Weißach river rises west of Immenstadt, flows in its upper course through the Ehrenschwanger Tal valley, turns towards Oberstaufen and continues to the Austrian border, where it finally flows into the Bregenzer Ach. On its way, the river has carved the Buchenegger Waterfalls into the Nagelfluh rock.

Alpe Neugreuth is located above Steibis, in the middle of the Allgäu landscape panorama. If you walk from Steibis to the Buchenegger waterfalls, it is worth stopping at the cozy guesthouse. Drinks, homemade cakes, and hearty snacks are available on the terrace. A special feature is the own herb garden, whose ingredients give the dishes a fine note.

Not far from the Imberghaus, at an altitude of about 1,250 meters, you'll find a true postcard panorama. Dominated by the Hochgrat, the peaks of the Nagelfluh chain line up picturesquely. Time for a photo!
