The Allgaeuer traditions and customs play an important role in Oberstaufen. During your stay you will be able to see the traces of history. You will often witness a local walking by, wearing his or her traditional Bavarian costume.You can experience customs such as cheese tasting in certain local alpine cabins, and even have a go of making your own cheese yourself. When certain local festivals take place such as Carnival Tuesday, the atmosphere can be truly felt, taking you back in time. Another meeting to remember, is when the cattle are brought down the mountains. Hundreds of cows, decorated with flowers and cow bells, are led down the alps and into the valleys, by their proud alpine herdsmen, a sight never to be forgotten.
It never becomes uneventful in the mountains. A holiday on the farm offers lots of activities for boys and girls.
