The former hamlet of Einödsbach belongs to the municipality of Oberstdorf . It lies at the end of the Stillach Valley at an altitude of 1113  m and consists of three houses and the St. Katharina Chapel from the 17th century.

A safe settlement can be proven for the year 1613. Today only the all year round managed guest house with accommodation options is inhabited. This makes Einödsbach the southernmost permanently inhabited place in Germany. The distance to Oberstdorf is about twelve kilometers. The Haldenwanger Eck , the most southern point of Germany, is located 8.3 km southwest of Einödsbach.

The census of May 25, 1987 shows that Einödsbach has ten residents in two residential buildings, each with one apartment. This means that Einödsbach is no longer classified as a hamlet (at least three residential buildings), but as an individual settlement .

From Einödsbach the Rappenalptal branches off to the southwest , and to the east it goes through the Bacherloch to the Waltenbergerhaus .
