Discover the region

Geographically, Stödtlen lies on the edge of the Swabian Alb and is surrounded by idyllic nature. The region is characterised by rolling hills, meadows and fields - perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling. In summer, you can visit the open-air swimming pool or take a canoe trip on the nearby Kocher River.

The town itself has several tourist attractions to offer, including the late-Gothic parish church of St. Mauritius with its impressive tower, as well as the 16th-century Stettenfels Castle.

Cultural highlights are also available: Visit the local history museum "Alte Schule" or take a guided tour through the historic centre to learn more about the history of the village.

For culinary delights, be sure to try the regional specialities - especially the Swabian Zwiebelrostbraten or Maultaschen (a type of filled dumpling).

If it rains, there are still plenty of options for entertainment: attend a concert in the Kulturscheune or take a trip to the Limes Museum in Aalen.

Where is the most beautiful place in Stödtlen? That's hard to say - every place has its own charm! However, you might want to take a walk through the castle park or enjoy the view from the tower of the parish church.

    Schöne Tour, die viel Natur bietet: sehr viele Seen, viel urwüchsiger Wald entlang von kleinen Bachläufen und nur sehr mäßiges hügeliges Profil. Im zweiten Teil der Tour häufiger auch über freie Flächen. Ganz zum Schluss ging es Richtung Ellwangen durch ein paar Ortschaften (z.B. Neunheim) mit Gewerbegebieten. Bei fast 30 Grad war das nicht ganz so schön. Aber die restlichen ca. 48 km waren sehr angenehm zu fahren. Vielen Dank für die Tour
