Maps and trails

The village lies at the foot of the Schönbuch and is surrounded by picturesque hills. The landscape is characterised by meadows, fields and forests - perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling. The seasons of spring and autumn are particularly beautiful, when nature is in full splendour.

Ofterdingen also has some tourist attractions to offer. For example, the historic town hall from the 16th century or the Gothic church of St. Michael with its impressive stained glass windows.

For cultural highlights, we recommend a visit to the Ofterdingen Museum of Local History or a performance at the Linde Cultural Centre.

But Ofterdingen also has a lot to offer in terms of culinary delights: Be sure to try the regionally famous "Schupfnudel", a type of potato dough noodle served with sauerkraut or apple sauce.

If it rains there are still plenty of activities to choose from: How about a tour of the nearby university town of Tübingen, for example? There you can visit the castle or stroll along the idyllic old town.

Where is it most beautiful in Ofterdingen? We recommend a walk through the "Wurmlingen" forest park - here you can enjoy nature to the fullest.

All in all, Ofterdingen is definitely worth a trip and a perfect destination for a relaxing holiday. We hope that our travel tips will help you plan your stay!

Eine sehr schöne Tour, besonders im Starzeltal im Frühjahr. (Update Mai 2020) Tipp: ab Dusslingen lohnt ein Umweg (Steigung) über Kressbach.

Sehr schöne Tour mit vielen Ausblicken auf die Alb. Leider waren ein paar Radwegschilder in Kusterdingen und Ofterdingen verdreht. Daher die Karte der Tour bzw. gpx der Tour verwenden.
