Oberstdorf

Located in the Allgäu region of the Bavarian Alps, Oberstdorf is a quaint skiing and hiking village in southwest Germany. At the center of Oberstdorf is a church whose tall spire serves as a landmark for navigating around town. The summits of the Nebelhorn and Fellhorn provide dramatic panoramic views of the alps.

A little known piece of trivia, is that ABC's Wide World of Sports inadvertantly featured Oberstdorf when Vinko Bogataj fell during the ski jump in 1970 and became "The Agony of Defeat". Visitors can ride a unique diagonal elevator to the top of the Heini-Klopfer-Skiflugschanze.
