Perfect with the whole family, with friends or even alone, because besides donkeys and alpacas, you can catch a great alpine view here. For a short break, there is everything from coffee, delicious regional farm ice cream, and seasonal farm products in a covered hut. Perfect is the option to pay for everything with coins, bills, or cashless. It can't get any better - great place

The chickens were very curious and perhaps hoped for food. "When they were at the fence, I would have just had to reach in and stun the chicken on the electric fence." I have already slaughtered a few, plucked them after a bath in warm water, and I will never forget the stench. It was delicious because it came from a private farm.

This is where the long-eared creatures are at home... in all colors, and you can also go on donkey and alpaca tours.

Typical Allgäu, you need a bit of luck with the mountain views. So far, it's been decent for me.

This church immediately caught my eye – it's Romanesque. The simple architecture is impressive, and the fact that it has been preserved that way over the centuries is impressive. Inside – I didn't go inside/I only read about it – it was expanded in the Baroque style. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: The first parish church in Engetried was mentioned as early as the mid-12th century. The choir and nave of the existing church, however, date from the 15th century. The church tower was built later, probably around 1500. The date 1728 is inscribed on the sacristy portal. This probably refers to the redesign of the vault and the interior layout of the choir. The church was redesigned in the Baroque style in the 18th century. Abbot Anselm Erb of Ottobeuren Monastery completed this with the stuccoing and frescoing around 1757.
