Ofterschwang impresses as a place of enjoyment: culinary diversity in Munich

The Genusort Ofterschwang, a picturesque village in the Allgäu, has recently attracted attention for its rich food culture. At a festival organized by the Ministry of Agriculture in Munich, Ofterschwang was honored as a “GenussOrt”. The event coincided with the popular “Zamanand Festival” on Ludwigstrasse and attracted numerous visitors interested in regional cuisine.

During the festival, Ofterschwang presented a variety of game specialties prepared by the renowned game forge, as well as the high-quality “Busche Berta” brandy. These culinary delicacies were very well received, which was reflected in the positive response and the high number of visitors. Franziska Haas, the head of guest information, in particular, reported a lively exchange with the guests, who asked many questions about the products and the “Good things from the village” concept.

Sustainable agriculture and regional products

Ofterschwang set an example for sustainable agriculture with its award as a “Bavarian GenussOrt” in 2024. Only the villages of Rettenberg and Ofterschwang have received this award in the entire Oberallgäu. The culinary network “Gutes vom Dorf” plays a central role in this, as the innkeepers there are obliged to use at least three regional products in their dishes every day. The focus is on processing local products, which means that both guests and locals can rely on fresh food from local farmers and craft businesses.

The selection of regional products is diverse and includes delicious cheese from the Hüttenberg and Pig Mountain dairies, fresh bread from the Kornblume organic bakery and the unique game specialties from the Allgäuer Wildschmiede. The fine dining establishment in Ofterschwang also sets a good example: in the freistil restaurant. Star chefs create top-class menus that consist exclusively of local ingredients. The combination of agriculture and cuisine was even honored with a green Michelin star. The Hotel Sonnenalp is also committed to using regional products, which gives the gastronomy offering in Ofterschwang a special quality.
