The well-signposted route begins at Schlossplatz in Aulendorf (entrance to Stadtpark). After a few meters, the first water treading basin already offers refreshment, as you still have the entire route ahead of you. The path then leads over Schönstatt, Buchwald, Ebisweiler Straße in a large arc through the forest towards Atzenberg to the Hohkreuz Chapel. From there, you have a wonderful view of the Schussental valley and, in good visibility, of the entire Alpine chain. From Kapellenhof, it goes downhill to the road towards Otterswang. Crossing this road, we reach the water treading basin “Auf der Scheibe.” The next stage invites you to stop for a break at Hofgut Tiergarten. Well refreshed, the route continues over the railway crossing past the Naturfreibad Steegersee to the shady water treading basin directly by the lake. In a few minutes, the Aulendorf train station is reached.

Safety information

The water treading basin “Auf der Scheibe” is not a water treading basin maintained or managed by the city.

When entering the water treading basins, caution is generally advised as sharp/spiky objects may lie on the basin floor. Especially in the water treading basins “Auf der Scheibe” and “Steegersee,” this is not always visible due to the dark moor/natural water.

Public transport

Public-transport-friendly

The railway has a long tradition in Aulendorf, which is why several railway lines meet at Aulendorf station:

KBS 751 (Stuttgart-) Ulm – Friedrichshafen – Lindau (at least hourly)
KBS 753 Aulendorf – Kißlegg - Hergatz or – Memmingen (every two hours)
KBS 766 (Ulm-) Aulendorf – Sigmaringen – Tübingen (hourly)

Additionally, the InterCity “Oberschwaben” Dortmund – Innsbruck stops once daily in Aulendorf.

On the route to Friedrichshafen, the Deutsche Bahn service is supplemented by the Bodensee-Oberschwaben-Bahn (BOB), operated under municipal management. The modern BOB trains run hourly between Aulendorf and Friedrichshafen.

Aulendorf is optimally connected to the national and international rail network for cities of comparable size. Thus, Aulendorf is the rail hub of Upper Swabia.
