The geographical location of Türkheim is ideal - it is only a few kilometres away from the beautiful city of Memmingen and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape of rolling hills, meadows and forests. The region is also fondly referred to as the "Gateway to the Allgäu".

Türkheim has many tourist attractions to offer: Visit Türkheim Castle with its impressive Renaissance garden or stroll through the historic old town with its pretty half-timbered houses. Another highlight are the numerous churches such as the parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary or the pilgrimage church of Maria Vesperbild.

Türkheim also has a lot to offer culturally: The annual cultural festival "Kulturherbst" attracts thousands of visitors every year and offers a varied programme of concerts, theatre performances and exhibitions.

For culinary connoisseurs, there is also much to discover in the region: try the famous Allgäu cheese or enjoy a hearty roast pork in a traditional inn.

Those who want to be active can do so with various outdoor activities: In summer, hikes on the surrounding mountains or cycling tours through the idyllic landscape are particularly suitable. In winter, ski resorts such as the nearby Oberjoch attract visitors with perfectly groomed slopes.

Even when the weather is bad, there are plenty of things to do in Türkheim: Visit the local museum, for example, and learn more about the history of the region, or relax in one of the thermal baths in the area.

Overall, Türkheim is definitely worth a visit - a charming little town with lots of culture, nature and culinary delights. An ideal place for anyone who wants to experience an authentic part of Germany away from mass tourism. This travel guide will help you get everything out of your stay!

    Sehr abwechslungsreiche Route aber mit manchmal langwierigen Passagen in waldigem Gelände neben der Wertach. Übernachtung im "Kurhotel Kaiser" (eBike-freundlich, günstig) in Bad Wörishofen nach 92 km, am nächsten Tag die restliche Strecke.

    Ein schöner Fernradweg, meistens entlang der Wertach auf Kies- und Schotterwegen. Ich habe mich auf der Tour von der App navigieren lassen, sonst wäre ich ein paar mal falsch gefahren. Aber so hieß es: "Sie verlassen die Route, die Route liegt 20m hinter Ihnen." Also zurück und die richtige Abzweigung nehmen. Angenehm war bei dem warmen Wetter die Fahrt durch die schattigen Auwälder.

    Eine tolle Tour, abseits der Touri-Pfade. Letztes Drittel immer an der Wertach entlang Ohne Steigungen, zu 80% auf Asphalt. Einkehr in Türkheim (nettes Städtchen) oder in Kirchsiebnach (Füchsle)
