Länder: Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria
The Allgäu is an attractive upland and mountain region (ridges of post-tectonic sediments, moraines) in the Alpine Foreland. It occupies the southern part of Bavarian Swabia between Lake Constance and the Lech valley and extends northwest into Württemberg.
The Allgäu is traversed by the Deutsche Alpenstrasse and, farther north, a branch of the Upper Swabian Baroque Highway.
The high Alpine chain of the Allgäu Alps, part of the Northern Calcareous Alps, forms with its bizarrely shaped peaks the boundary between Bavaria and the Austrian provinces of Vorarlberg and Tirol. The highest point is the Grosser Krottenkopf (2,657m/8,718ft) in northern Tirol.
