Some of the valley-inhabitants describe the landscape where they dwell as the largest pedestrian zone of Europe. In the high season, masses of tourists from Oberstdorf come to hike and are overwhelmed by the magnificent landscape. Nevertheless it can all of a sudden be lonesome in the high valleys: as soon as the clouds cover the view to the Allgäu mountain summits or, in winter, when avalanches block any access to the outside world. No matter whether he likes it or not: the valley-dweller is deeply interwoven with nature. Living in a remote place, he becomes stubborn but also proud, which you can see written in his face.
