Schelklingen

Schelklingen is known for its historical sights such as the castle ruins of Hohenschelklingen and the Urspring monastery. The castle dates back to the 12th century and offers a spectacular view of the surrounding area. The monastery, on the other hand, was founded in the 18th century and today houses an academy for fine arts as well as a museum.

The annual town festival, which takes place at the end of June, or the Christmas market in December with its regional products, also provide cultural highlights.

Culinary Schelklingen also has a lot to offer: Be sure to try the famous spaetzle pan cake or enjoy a glass of local beer in a cosy pub.

The surrounding area also invites you to take part in numerous outdoor activities: Hike along the Danube Cycle Path or explore the region's caves on a guided tour of the Laichingen Deep Cave or Blautopf Cave - these activities are especially nice in spring to autumn .

If it rains, there are plenty of opportunities to stay indoors: Visit the Schmiechachter Stuben local history museum, for example, where you can learn more about local history.

Whether summer or winter - Schelklingen is always worth a visit. It is especially beautiful in spring, when nature awakens to new life and everything shines in fresh green, or in autumn, when the leaves turn colourful and a walk through the forest becomes especially romantic.
