Allgäuer Hochalpen is by far the largest nature reserve in the administrative region of Swabia and one of the largest nature reserves in the Federal Republic of Germany . With an area of 20,724 hectares , it is larger than some of the national parks in Germany .
The nature reserve was established by ordinance of January 16, 1992. The European bird sanctuary DE 8528-401 nature reserve Allgäu High Alps is coincident with the NSG ; The NSG and bird sanctuary are in turn part of the somewhat larger FFH area DE-8528-301 Allgäu High Alps .
Borderline
Beginning north of the “ Bschießer ” mountain peak , the border of the nature reserve runs along the border between Germany and Austria to the Kanzelwand . From there it continues past the Fellhornbahn lifts over the Warmatsgundtal into the Stillachtal . On the orographically right side of the Stillach valley, the border goes northwards to the level of Freibergsee. There the border runs south into the Trettachtal to Spielmannsau . On the orographically right side of the Trettach valley it goes north again. The Nebelhornbahn systems are left out. The border continues over the Rubihorn and the Sonnenköpfe into the Hintersteiner Valley. Hinterstein is left out. Finally, the border runs over the Stuibenkopf to the Bschießergipfel.
