The quiet side of the Glemmtal

A day’s holiday in Viehhofen doesn’t start with a bang. It begins with the light on the mountains, with crisp air, and with that peaceful moment when you open the window and feel: today doesn’t have to be hectic.

Perhaps the village is still quiet. Perhaps the morning lies gently over the meadows. Perhaps you simply sit there with a cup of coffee and look out. This is exactly how a holiday in Viehhofen often begins – peaceful, cosy and with the feeling that the day still lies wide open before you.

Viehhofen is the quiet side of the Glemmtal valley. A place for everyone who enjoys being outdoors, who loves the mountains but isn’t looking for the hustle and bustle. Here, it’s not about doing as much as possible in the shortest possible time. Here, it’s about experiencing the day in a way that feels good.

Later, you feel the urge to get out. Into nature, onto paths with views, on a shared outing, on two wheels or simply walking uphill step by step. The air is fresh, the mountains are close by, and everything feels a little lighter when you’re out and about.

And this is precisely where the answer to the question lies: what is there to do in Viehhofen? You can set off. Take a deep breath. Be active. Feel nature. Be out and about together. And time and again find those little moments of happiness that don’t need any grand announcement: a sweeping view, a quiet forest, a spot in the sun, a laugh along the way.

Viehhofen is perfect for couples who want to spend quality time together. For families who want to experience the outdoors together. And for groups who enjoy active days and like to come together in peace in the evenings. What unites them all: here, movement doesn’t feel like a race, but like freedom.

What makes Viehhofen special is not only what you can do here. It’s also how everything in between feels. No rush, no pressure, no sense of always having to move on. Instead, it’s a place that has remained easy to take in. Familiar. Personal. Close to nature.

Perhaps you return after a few active hours. Perhaps you sit outside a little longer. Perhaps the afternoon simply turns into a quiet, unplanned moment. That, too, is part of a holiday in Viehhofen: not having to fill every single moment.

That’s where much of this place’s happiness lies. Deeply rooted in its history, yet still felt today in both the small and the bigger moments of a holiday that stay with you. Not because they are spectacular—but because they are real.
