Culinary specialities: Be sure to try the regional specialities such as Weißwurst (white sausage), Leberknödel (liver dumplings) or Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) - best accompanied by a cool beer!

Outdoor activities: In summer, hikes through the picturesque landscapes are a great option or you can take a canoe trip on the Danube. In winter, ski resorts like Geisskopf invite you to ski.

Best seasons and places for outdoor activities: We recommend hiking especially in spring and autumn, when nature awakens or wears its colourful dress. Canoeing is best in summer and skiing is possible on the Geisskopf in the cold season.

What to do when it rains? Even on rainy days there is plenty to do in Stallwang: Visit the Gäuboden Museum or relax in one of the many wellness facilities.
