The parish, with its 1300 souls and 19 districts and hamlets, lies in the midst of nature and among protected areas of natural beauty; it is centrally placed between the castles of Neuschwanstein and Linderhof, nestling in the foothills of the Alps with its landscape of high moors and lakes and framed by the Ammer and Allgäu mountains.
