Villas in Buchenberg
Buchenberg suits families and groups who want a quiet hill village base about 10 km west of Kempten. It is a small health resort at 893 m with three modest ski areas and a swimming spot at the Eschacher Weiher. The pistes are short and every road in is a minor one, so plan on a car.

About Buchenberg
Buchenberg is a market village of around 4,150 people and a recognised Luftkurort, a climatic health resort. The municipality runs from the edge of the Iller basin by Kempten up to the Adelegg, the northernmost foothills of the Alps, and takes in Ahegg, Eschach, Kreuzthal-Eisenbach and Wirlings plus scattered hamlets and farms. The classicist parish church dates from 1792, and a stretch of the Roman road from Kempten to Bregenz survives. The homes sit together at one spot near the village, from places for four up to a very large group house; check each listing for a sauna or garden. Evenings are quiet: a village inn rather than bars.
