spieser in allgäu :o)

well, last weekend we have been visiting kaufbeuren with my father and today we are in allgäu again 😃. this time hiking to the top of the spieser montain (1651m) in the beautiful allgäuer alps. the tour was choosen by my eldest daughter who accompanied us as well. you will not find her at any picture as she likes to keep her privacy unpresented in social media and/or on the internet, my dears ...

my father challenged by the probably last snow at spieser (1651m) this year

the starting point for our today's hiking tour in allgau

kaufbeuren in allgäu

despite the worst spring weather i can remember my father visits bavaria again. we have rain almost every day for at least 1 month. there were only two or three sunny days and only one of them we got the chance to stay longer at a lake, to sunbathe + swimm ...

 so what to do? let's visit some nearby cities when there are few hours wihout rain ⛅⛆

enjoy few pictures from kaufbeuren in allgäu. of course we liked its landmark, the fünfknopfturm tower from 1420. but our highlight today was something completely different: the unexpected visit in the bell tower of the biggest church as the priest came all the 150 steps up with us and explained a lot about his church, the bells and the city ... 👍😀😍

due to crazy corona lockdown measures were the restaurants closed even in their outside areas, so there were only few possibilities to grab some food to go and all the city looked and behaved like died out...
