The Tannheimer Valley is a high valley located approximately 1,100 meters above sea level in the Tannheimer Mountains, part of the Allgäu Alps in the Tyrolean district of Reutte. When I'm in Haldensee, I feel a surge of ❤️. The valley is simply beautiful💯👍

The stunning landscape behind Lake Vilsalpsee is breathtaking. A detour to the waterfall behind the Vilsalpe (approx. 30-40 minutes) is worthwhile.
