About Nesselwang
Nesselwang is a market town of about 3,800 people at 867 metres in the Ostallgäu, granted its market rights in 1429 and with seventeen hamlets around it. The Alpspitzbahn starts in the town and climbs almost to the top of the 1,575 metre Alpspitze; in summer it serves a 1,000 metre summer toboggan run and the Alpspitzkick zipline. The town's ABC leisure pools are open all year, and the pilgrimage church of Maria Trost and the parish church of St Andreas are the main sights. Our few homes stand close together in the town, and most have a sauna.
