The local cuisine is rich in traditional dishes such as Maultaschen (filled dumplings) or Spätzle (a type of noodle). Be sure to also try the regional art of brewing beer!
When it comes to outdoor activities, there are many options: Hiking through forests or along picturesque rivers, cycling on the many routes through the countryside or fishing at one of the many lakes. It is especially beautiful in Oberkochen in autumn when the leaves turn colourful.
If you should catch a rainy day, we recommend a visit to the Aquafun leisure pool with its numerous slides and pools or a tour of one of the museums such as the Optics Museum.
