The town has a rich history that dates back to the 12th century and is evident in its architecture. One of the most famous sights of Kaisheim is the castle with its impressive baroque garden from the 18th century. Today, the castle houses a museum that gives visitors an insight into the history of the region.

For art lovers, a visit to the monastery museum is worthwhile, where you can admire works by famous painters such as Albrecht Dürer. The local history museum also offers interesting insights into the life of earlier times.

If you like to eat out, you should definitely visit one of the traditional inns and try local specialities such as pork knuckle or liver dumplings - you are guaranteed to get your fill here!

Outdoor lovers can cycle along the Danube cycle path or explore the nearby forest. In winter, skiing and cross-country skiing are great options on the slopes around Kaisheim.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the thermal baths in Bad Wörishofen or one of the many museums in Augsburg - just a short drive away.

Kaisheim is worth a visit at any time of year, but in spring and summer the gardens are in bloom and you can experience nature in all its glory. It is particularly beautiful at the castle or along the Danube promenade.

Overall, Kaisheim offers everything you would hope for in a German destination: history, nature, culture and good food. We recommend a stay in this charming town to any travel guide!

    Eine sehr schöne Tour! Start- und Zielpunkt gut mit ÖPNV zu erreichen. Genügend Zeit einplanen; in Donauwörth gibt es viel zu sehen! Überraschend zwei steile Anstiege auf dem normalerweise eher gemächlichen Donau-Radweg. Bei Schloss Leitheim kann man bei schönem Wetter auf der Terrasse speisen (nicht billig!!!). Die ehemalige Abtei Niederschönenfeld sieht von fern aus wie Oberschönenfeld in den Westlichen Wäldern, ist aber ein Gefängnis, und zum Essen gab es da auch nichts... Das Örtchen Rain lohnt eine Stippvisite; an der Hauptstraße gibt es sehr leckeres Eis. In Langweid gibt es des "Lechmuseum" als Teil des UNESCO-Welterbes "Wassermanagement Augsburg". Ist leider nur am 1. Sonntag eines Monats geöffnet.

    Sehr schöne Runde auf durchwegs sehr guten Wegen. Nur zwischen Marxheim und Donauwörth einige anstrengende Steigungen. Kein Problem für E-Biker. Empfehlenswert.

    Wunderschöne Streckenführung, die immer wieder auch durch kleinere Orte führt. Ohne Navi wäre es manchmal schwierig geworden bzw. wir wären dem (weniger schönen) offiziellen Weg gefolgt, z.B. entlang von Bundesstraßen. Wir haben uns 10 Tage Zeit genommen, was mit Zelt und Gepäck auch gut machbar war. Herrliche Ausblicke, unbedingt zu empfehlen!

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour! Highlights waren die Wallfahrtskirche in Biberbach und das Kloster Holzen, wo ich eine längere Pause eingelegt habe. Die Tour ist bis auf wenige kleinere, kurze Steigungen durchweg eben und sehr angenehm zu fahren. Von Donauwörth bin ich dann mit dem Regionalzug nach Augsburg zurück gefahren. Sehr empfehlenswerte Tour!
