1. enjoy the Allgäu Alpine panorama
After the exciting tour with purelements, you should treat yourself to a moment of peace and quiet. Sit down on one of the numerous viewing benches around Sonthofen or Oberstdorf, take a deep breath and let your gaze wander over the Allgäu Alps. The Malerwinkel near Altstädten or the summit of the Nebelhorn near Oberstdorf are particularly worthwhile. The combination of adrenaline rush and mountain idyll provides an incomparable feeling of happiness. If you like, take your camera with you and capture the moment - because the Allgäu is as photogenic as a postcard motif.
🏞️ Viewpoints that you must not miss
A special tip is the gorge hut right at the entrance to the Starzlach Gorge. Here you can enjoy a refreshment in a cozy atmosphere or have a hearty snack with a view of the gorge. The perfect place to reflect on your experiences and recharge your batteries - with one of the most spectacular views in the Allgäu.
And the best thing is that these rest periods help your body to wind down after the intense exercise. The clear air, the play of clouds over the peaks and the calming panorama bring you inner peace. You will notice: After the adventure, the silence feels twice as good.

2. stop off at a rustic mountain hut
What could be better than refueling after an active canyoning tour with Kässpatzen or a hearty snack? The Oberallgäu is known for its cozy mountain huts and inns. It's not just the food that tastes good here, but also the life. Particularly popular are the Strausberghütte with its warm atmosphere and the Gschwender Berg with its beautiful hut destination.
📍Tip: Try the homemade Kaiserschmarrn or a Radler from a regional brewery - it tastes like the real Allgäu.
🏔️🍽️ Allgäu-style indulgence
Many huts also offer regional specialties from their own production: Allgäu mountain cheese, fresh wood-fired bread or game dishes from local hunts. Whether it's hearty cheese spaetzle with fried onions, a crispy roast pork or sweet Kaiserschmarrn - here you can taste the Allgäu as it lives and breathes.
The combination of down-to-earth cuisine and genuine hospitality makes every stop a real highlight of your day. Especially after the physical exertion of canyoning, eating together on the terrace of a rustic hut is an experience for all the senses. As you let your gaze wander over the pastures and peaks, you will feel your body and soul recharge - accompanied by the sound of cowbells and the scent of fresh Alpine air.
A moment you won't forget.
3. take a dip in an Allgäu mountain lake
If you still haven't had enough of the water after canyoning, you should definitely jump into one of the many natural swimming lakes: the Alpsee near Immenstadt, the Freibergsee near Oberstdorf or the Niedersonthofener See offer pure refreshment. Especially in the summer months, a dip in the crystal-clear water is the perfect end to an eventful day.
Pack your swimsuit, find a quiet spot in the shade and enjoy the moment. Many lakes also have small kiosks or lakeside cafés offering ice cream and snacks.
⛰️💦 Pure refreshment after the adventure
Another tip for romantics: the sunset at the Großer Alpsee is an unforgettable experience. With a view of the setting sun and the gentle lapping of the water, you can reflect on the day and recharge your batteries. The shore areas in Bühl or near the boat landing stage in particular offer atmospheric spots where the light is reflected golden in the water.
When the sky glows in shades of red and orange and the mountains stand as dark silhouettes on the horizon, the Allgäu seems almost magical. A moment of tranquillity that is best enjoyed as a couple or with a warm blanket and a picnic - simply the perfect way to round off an active day in the great outdoors.

4. explore the town center of Sonthofen
Sonthofen, Germany's southernmost town, is located in the immediate vicinity of the purelements canyoning base. Here you can stroll through small alleyways, store for Allgäu specialties or treat yourself to an ice cream or coffee in one of the cafés. If you are interested in history, you should visit the local history museum or the parish church of St. Michael. In summer, small concerts or weekly markets often take place on the town hall square. And if you fancy shopping, you are sure to find what you are looking for in the local stores and boutiques.
☕ Culture, cafés and small discoveries
For a sustainable experience, it is worth visiting a world store or a regional farm store. There you will find handmade products, souvenirs and delicacies from the region - perfect for taking a piece of the Allgäu home with you. Particularly charming: many cafés and stores focus on regional ingredients, fair products and a personal atmosphere. Let yourself drift, discover small courtyards, lovingly run stores and the leisurely pace of a town that takes its time - in stark contrast to the adrenaline of canyoning.
Sonthofen is the ideal place to consciously enjoy yourself after an adventure - and leave your soul in the Allgäu for a while.
5. end the day relaxing in the sauna or thermal spa
Regeneration is important after a sporting challenge. Treat yourself to a little wellness: for example at the Wonnemar-Therme in Sonthofen or the Kristalltherme Schwangau. Sauna, steam bath and panoramic relaxation room with mountain views let you end the day relaxed and happy. Smaller hotels and wellness guesthouses in the Allgäu also often offer day access to their spa areas. Tip: Combine relaxation with a massage or a visit to the saltwater pool to pamper your muscles and senses in equal measure.
🌿🛁 Wellness for body and mind
Especially after canyoning, you benefit from the warming effect on joints and muscles. Alternating between cold mountain water and cozy sauna warmth activates your blood circulation and helps you to recharge your batteries for the next day - perhaps in the water again?
