Feel at home with us at zuhaus am malerwinkel
Willkommen in unserer kleinen Insel der Ruhe im Allgäu! Wir sind Jill aus London und Sepp aus Fischen und haben unser großes Glück im Malerwinkel gefunden. Und wir laden euch ein, Teil davon zu sein! Für uns ist Gastfreundschaft nicht nur ein Wort, sondern eine Lebenseinstellung. Für die Zeit des Urlaubs gehört auch ihr zur Familie im Zuhaus am Malerwinkel. Wir freuen uns auf euren Besuch.
Location & size
Would you like to simply drift off on vacation? To start the day with the cock crowing and be surprised by the surprises and delights that country life has in store? Then come and stay with us at Zuhaus am Malerwinkel! Our farm belongs to Fischen in the Allgäu and is situated in a quiet location on the edge of the Unterthalhofen district, halfway between Sonthofen and Oberstdorf. From here you can make short detours within 30 minutes to Bad Hindelang, Immenstadt im Allgäu with the large Alpsee lake or over the border to Hirschegg, which is at the end of the valley and therefore officially already in Austria. With the Nebelhorn on the doorstep, there are of course also wonderful hikes in the impressive Allgäu high Alps in the immediate vicinity. Back on our farm, you will be enchanted by the peace and quiet and the pleasant babbling of the small mountain stream that flows right in front of our house. I, Jill Zeller, fell in love with the Allgäu over 30 years ago and have done so every day since then. And I'm sure you'll find it easy to do the same with us, especially in our newly renovated four vacation apartments. Each apartment has a spacious living room with comfortable seating, a modern fitted kitchen, a cozy bedroom and a newly renovated bathroom - two of them even have two baths! We have designed them the way we like to live ourselves - in muted colors and pretty wooden furniture in a modern country house style. From the balcony you have a fantastic view of the mountains and the picturesque landscape. We invite you to feel at home with us - just like at home!
Farm experiences
We love meeting old and new friends. Do you too? Great, then let's meet for a coffee on our sun terrace! You can ask us anything you ever wanted to know about country life. We are farmers with heart and soul and love what we do. We get to live our dream every day, even though life on a farm is just as much hard work as it is dedication. We take guests of all ages into the barn and show them what it means to look after around 40 dairy cows and calves. You are welcome to lend a hand, a few strong helping hands are always welcome! Every other day in summer, farmer Sepp looks after the 50 young cows on our alpine pasture and is happy to be accompanied and entertained.
Canine happiness in one place
Our kind-hearted farm dog Maja loves visitors, both big and small vacationers and other four-legged friends. Since 2020, the young Maremma Abruzzo sheepdog has been an integral part of our family and can usually be found in her favorite place, the ankle-deep mountain stream. When she's not enjoying cuddles from our guests, she loves to play with other furry friends, big and small! To make sure that your dog feels right at home on vacation, we have provided sleeping blankets, dog towels, toys and dog harnesses in the vacation apartments. If you need to take your dog out quickly at night or in the morning, you'll be delighted with the walking paths right outside the house and the chance to start the day with a walk through beautiful flower meadows in the middle of the Allgäu countryside.
Lots of animal fun
Do you have a heart for animals? Our greatest concern is to care for all animals not only with appreciation and respect, but also with love. Because our cows and calves are used to being treated with love, they are very trusting and curious towards all humans. Children's eyes in particular light up when they stroke and cuddle the soft calfskin or get a kiss from the calf's moist tongue. Holidaymakers can even try milking under our guidance in the barn - and then of course taste the fresh, warm milk. Many other animals also live with us and look forward to food and attention:
- the dream duo of horse Nino and donkey Beppo
- the runner ducks Anton and Klara
- the Peking ducks Lui and Lin
- 12 happy chickens
- a proud rooster
- cuddly rabbits
- cuddly cats
- the good-natured goats
Highlights in the surrounding area
Every day we are grateful for the extraordinary beauty that our nature gives us. How could it be otherwise? Every season shows us its wonders: with colorful blossoms and flower meadows in spring, lush green meadows and slopes as far as the eye can see in summer. In autumn, the trees glow in all colors and make the valley look like a painting, until winter arrives and transforms the mountains around us into an icy fairyland under a delicate white blanket of snow. Here, the landscape is still untouched by tourism, and yet we are so centrally located in the Allgäu that numerous excursion destinations are within easy reach. Whether couples, families or even solo travelers, there's guaranteed to be no boredom here. A great family hiking trail leads directly from our front door to the impressive Hinanger waterfalls and the Sonnenköpfe. A few more examples of summer activities:
- Hike to the source of the Iller
- Swimming in Gaisalpsee, Sonthofer See and Großer Alpsee
- Hike on the Riedberger Horn
- Comfortably up to the summit with the Hörner cable cars
- Cycling on the Allgäu cycle circuit (a total of 440 kilometers of cycle paths)
- Indoor swimming fun in Wonnemar Sonthofen, Oberstdorf Therme or Aqauaria Oberstaufen
- Rafting or kayaking on the river Iller
- Archery in Bolsterlang
- Downhill scootering on the Ofterschwanger Horn
- Minigolfing in Fischen or Bolsterlang
Winter fun in the Allgäu
We have good news for cross-country skiers. Over 100 kilometers of groomed trails criss-cross the valley and connect the villages of Fischen, Bolsterlang, Ofterschwang and Obermaiselstein. The first tracks of the Thalhofer cross-country ski trail are laid in front of our house, so you can simply get in right in front of the house and off you go! First time on skis? Beginners can use the Stinesser cross-country ski trail in Fischen free of charge with the Walder guest card and make their first tracks. At the sports field in Fischen, cross-country skiing is even possible after sunset under floodlights. Those who prefer to walk will find romantic winter hikes along the Iller or to the Hinanger waterfalls nearby. Ski resorts can also be reached within 30 minutes by car. Or make like Cinderella and write your very own winter fairy tale while you discover the valley wrapped up in warm blankets in a horse-drawn carriage.
