Maps and trails
Langenau is situated on the edge of the Swabian Jura and is surrounded by picturesque hills. The town itself has a long history as an important trading centre for textiles and cloth manufacturing. Today it is known for its friendly inhabitants and relaxed attitude to life.

Visitors should definitely visit Langenau Castle, an impressive Renaissance building with beautiful gardens. The town church of St. Martin is also worth a visit - concerts are held here regularly.

Culture enthusiasts will also love the Alte Kelterei museum: Here you can learn all about apple growing in the region as well as the production of cider and must.

For gourmets, Langenau offers some culinary highlights: Try local specialities such as Maultaschen or Spätzle with sauce or enjoy fresh bread from a traditional bakery.

Outdoor fans can look forward to hikes through the nearby nature park or cycling tours along the river Brenz - especially beautiful at the time of the fruit blossom in spring! If it rains, a visit to the local indoor swimming pool or a trip to the nearby city of Ulm is recommended.

Langenau is worth a trip at any time of year, but especially in spring and summer the region shows its best side. Hikes through the nature park or cycling tours along the river Brenz are particularly recommended.

Overall, Langenau offers a diverse mix of culture, history and natural beauty - a perfect destination for anyone who wants to experience rural Germany!

    Eine ganz tolle Tour, abwechslungsreich und gar nicht so schwer, gute Beschilderung! Die Alternative über den Panoramaweg ist empfehlenswert!

    Sehr schöne abwechslungsreiche Runde. Vor allem im Frühjahr wenn die Märzenbecher blühen. Tolle Überraschung ist am Eingang ins Tal der Märzenbecher, der kleine privat organisierte Kaffee ☕️ und Kuchen Stand mit netten Tischen und Stühlen. Willkommen für uns Wanderer, es gibt sonst kaum Einkehrmöglickeiten. Gut auch vom Bahnof Beimerstetten erreichbar. Mit dem Zug MEX16 kommt man von Stuttgart und Ulm dorthin. Die Kritik von wegen alles verwachsen kann ich überhaupt nicht bestätigen. Sollte bitte überarbeitet oder gelöscht werden

    Eine schöne Halbtagestour, insbesondere der Blick ins weite Land von der Kirche in Oberelchingen, auch ein Gang durch den Klostergarten lohnt sich.

    Ich bin ca die halbe Tour von Geislingen nach Westerstetten in einem Rutsch gefahren und das war schon ganz schön anstrengend. Es sind sehr schöne Stücke dabei, aber auch ziemlich langweilige (auf der Albhochfläche). Es lohnt sich, die Tour vorher genau anzuschauen und ggf abzukürzen, denn es sind schon Schlenker dabei, wo man sich hinterher fragt "musste das jetzt sein?".
