Discover the region

Ehingen is known for its historic old town with half-timbered houses, narrow streets and the impressive Mochental Castle. A stroll through the streets will take you to numerous sights such as the market square with the Renaissance town hall or the St. Blasius parish church.

For cultural highlights, we recommend a visit to the Hofmühle Museum, which presents the history of the town and region as well as changing art exhibitions. The annual jazz festival in summer also attracts many visitors.

Culinary Ehingen has much to offer: Try regional specialities such as Swabian onion roast or enjoy a fresh beer in one of the cosy breweries.

For those who like to be active, there are plenty of outdoor activities to look forward to: hike along the Danube Cycle Path or explore the surroundings by cycling or canoeing. In winter, there are opportunities for skiing in the nearby Alps.

But there is also plenty to do when it rains: relax in one of the thermal baths in Bad Buchau or visit the indoor swimming pool Aqui-Hallenbad & Sauna right on site.

We personally find the most beautiful spot at the "Himmelreich" lookout point, from where you have a breathtaking view of the town and the surrounding countryside.

Overall, Ehingen is definitely worth a visit and our Travel Guide will help you get the most out of your visit.

    War ein schöne Runde. Bin sie mit den Stöcken in 2.15 Stunden gelaufen. Ausgangspunkt war der Parkplatz oberhalb von Wittelshofen.

    Schöne Wanderung auf den "höchsten Berg Mittelfrankens" (689m). Hat den Kindern viel Spaß gemacht, da der Weg sehr abwechslungsreich und kurzweilig ist.

    Fixer Aufstieg mit netten kleinen Pfaden, vorbei an der DAV-Hütte. Haben den Weg zum Aufstieg vor dem Sonnenaufgang genutzt, um uns diesen dann vom Hesselberg aus anzugucken. Auch für Kinder empfehlenswert 😊

    Sehr schöne Tour, bin sie hin und zurück gewandert, Ausgangpunkt für mich war Spielberg, unten am Gasthof. Reine Gehzeit gut 9 Stunden, dazu gut eine Stunde Pause - für die einfache Tour würde ich bei den Tourdaten 5 Stunden angeben (die Angabe „Dauer“ fehlt noch). Insgesamt recht gute Streckenmarkierung „Blaupunkt“, nur an 3 - 4 Stellen mußte ich die GPS-Karte zuhilfe nehmen.
