Oberjoch Jochstraße
B308Bad Hindelang to Unterjoch
Germany’s bendiest road, up to the Allgäu’s high saddle.
The B308 ‘Jochstraße’ climbs from Bad Hindelang to the Oberjoch saddle in a famous run of stacked hairpins, said to be the most bends of any road in Germany, into the high Allgäu Alps. Tight and busy with bikes; mind the motorcyclists, the coaches, and ice in the shaded bends.
