Maps and trails
One of the most famous sights in Heretsried is the 18th century parish church of St. Maria Magdalena with its impressive baroque altar and beautiful frescoes on the ceilings. Heretsried Castle from the 17th century is also worth a visit.

Cultural highlights include the annual village festival in August as well as various concerts and theatre performances in the "Alte Schule" cultural centre. Culinary delights are provided by traditional Bavarian restaurants such as the Gasthaus zur Post or the beer garden at the Schlosspark.

The surrounding area offers numerous outdoor activities for nature lovers: hiking on well-marked trails through the beautiful countryside, cycling along the Lech river or fishing at one of the many lakes in the region.

It is particularly beautiful in Heretsried in spring, when everything is in bloom and green, or in summer with pleasantly warm temperatures for picnics on the lakeshore. In autumn, the colourful foliage entices you to take walks through nature, and even in winter there are opportunities for cross-country skiing or ice skating on frozen lakes.

Even if the weather is bad, there is no need to despair: the local indoor swimming pool offers a welcome change of pace, and the "Alte Schule" cultural centre regularly hosts indoor events such as readings or film screenings.

Heretsried is definitely worth a trip for anyone looking for peace and relaxation in a picturesque setting. This travel guide offers numerous tips for a successful stay in the district of Augsburg.

    Anspruchsvolle und tolle Rundtour. Kurz vor Emersacker kann man sogar eine von den 7 Kapellen, nämlich die Huber-Kapelle besuchen. Ca. 40 km/560 Hm

    Kunst trifft Natur! Super schöne Tour durch abwechslungsreiche Wald und Wiesenstücken. Sehr zu empfehlen ist die Lauschtour wo man sich die Audiodatei am Anfang der Tour herunterladen kann. Dort erklärt der Künstler selber etwas zu seinen Werken. Sehr zu empfehlen ist dieser Kunstpfad! Anfang März waren wir fast alleine unterwegs.

    Klasse Tour! Mit Über 30 Anstiegen auf Dauer aber auch knackig! Einige Super Trails, die aber ein gewisses Fahrkönnen erfordern. Man fährt oft mutterseelen allein durch die schönen nördlichen Westlichen Wälder. Würde die angegeben Höhenmeter aber auf 630 hm korrigieren.
