Maps and trails
Geographically, Babenhausen is located about 20 kilometres south of Memmingen and is surrounded by picturesque hills and forests. The town itself has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages and is characterised by its well-preserved historic buildings.

Sites of interest to tourists include the town parish church of St. Martin with its impressive tower and Babenhausen Castle, a beautiful baroque palace with a rich past. If you want to learn more about local history, be sure to visit the local history museum.

For cultural highlights, we recommend a visit to the annual Kultursommer or the Christmas market on Schlossplatz - both offer a variety of concerts, exhibitions and events for all ages.

Culinary specialities are also plentiful: try the famous Allgäu cheese, for example, or enjoy traditional dishes such as spaetzle or pork knuckle in one of the town's cosy restaurants.

When it comes to outdoor activities, Babenhausen offers many options. In summer, hikes can be made through the nearby mountains or bike tours can be made along the river Iller - both are great activities for nature lovers! In winter, skiing in the surrounding Alps is a must.

And what to do when it rains? Why not visit the indoor swimming pool or the cinema in nearby Memmingen!

In summary, Babenhausen is definitely worth a visit. With its rich history, cultural highlights and breathtaking nature, the town offers something for everyone. Come by and experience for yourself why Babenhausen is considered one of the most beautiful places in Unterallgäu!

    Schöne Wanderstrecke in ruhigem Waldgebiet. Die Wanderstrecke führt ein Stück auf der NU 5 entlang. Dies ist nicht ungefährlich, weil dort ständig Autotransporte (an Werktagen) durchgeführt werden. Die Gefahrenstelle kann umgangen werden indem als Alternative der Vogtsgrabenweg gewählt wird. Wege und Sitzgelegenheiten in OpenStreetMap eingetragen bzw. ergänzt.
