Oberstdorf

Oberstdorf is a small town located in the Alps. It is the most southern town in Germany. 
I have travelled to Oberstdorf two times during summer and it is totally worth it! With my family, I flew to Munich and rented a car, then drove about 3 hours to Oberstdorf. From Munich, you can also take a train to the centre of Oberstdorf. ​

It is surrounded by mountains and the closest one is called Nebelhorn.  Oberstdorf is not just hiking and skiing but also a great place to photograph. From Oberstdorf you don´t have to do big moves to take great photographs, just take the ski lift to the top off Nebelhorn and that’s it.
