Schwenningen is located on the edge of the Augsburg-Westliche Wälder nature park on the Danube. The town is known for its historic buildings such as Schwenningen Castle or the St. Martinus parish church. Another attraction is the local history museum with its exhibitions on the history of the region.

Dillingen on the Danube, on the other hand, attracts visitors with its baroque flair and impressive architecture such as the Residence Palace or the former Jesuit College. Here you can also visit the KulturLand Ries museum, which provides insights into the way of life of bygone eras.

When it rains, you can look forward to a wide range of indoor activities in both towns: from visits to museums to theatre performances to shopping opportunities - everyone will find something here!

The most beautiful places in Schwenningen are undoubtedly to be found along the banks of the Danube - here you can relax or enjoy the scenery on a boat trip. In Dillingen, a walk through the magnificent courtyard garden or along the Lech River is worthwhile.

Culinary-wise, both towns have a lot to offer: Try local specialities such as Dillingen asparagus or Schwenniger Maultaschen. The beer from the region is also a treat for every palate.

For outdoor activities, the summer is particularly suitable: Hiking, cycling and canoeing are very popular here. The Danube Cycle Route runs directly through Schwenningen and Dillingen and offers spectacular views of the surrounding area.

Overall, both towns are definitely worth a trip - whether you want to experience cultural highlights or simply relax. We hope that this travel guide was helpful for your planning!

    Die 5 Etappen waren sehr schön, perfekt ausgeschildert und abwechslungsreich. Es gab sehr viel Fauna und Flora zu entdecken. Die Ortschaften entlang des Weges waren teils sehr schön. Mücken Schutz war leider überlebenswichtig da uns in vielen Bereichen Schwärme von Ihnen verfolgt haben. Insgesamt aber sehr zu empfehlen.

    Ganz toller Weg durch die Auenwälder der Donau. Vom Waldweg bis zum kleinen Pfad, alles dabei. Großteil der Route liegt im Schatten, was ich als wirklich sehr angenehm empfunden habe. Führt auch kaum auf Asphalt und hat wirklich kaum Steigungen; höchstens einmal ein paar Stufen. Kann ich wärmstens empfehlen
