Untermeitingen: Green Centre, History and Cycling Route

Untermeitingen combines a meeting place for young and old with historic sites and a cultural heritage cycling route. The Green Centre brings together a playground, Kneipp facility and boules court; St. Stephen’s Church and Ulrich Chapel provide concrete dates from local history. The “In Roman Footsteps” cycling route also crosses the Lechfeld through Untermeitingen. You can therefore shape your stay around shared leisure time, history or an active tour.

Shared leisure time at the Green Centre

The Green Centre is a meeting place for young and old, with a playground, Kneipp facility and boules court. The three amenities offer different activities: play, Kneipp treatments and boules. If you are travelling with several generations, you can include the meeting place in your day’s plans as an option for everyone, without prescribing the same activity for all. We recommend checking local conditions before your visit.

Church and chapel: two historical milestones

The Catholic parish church of St. Stephen in Untermeitingen was first mentioned in a document in 1158. Ulrich Chapel on Totenhügel was consecrated by Pastor Brenner on 8 July 1934. The two dates refer to different events: for St. Stephen’s Church, it is the first documentary mention; for the chapel, it is the date of its consecration. This comparison helps put the dates in context: 1158 marks the first documentary mention; 1934, the date of the consecration. The two sites therefore represent different historical points of reference.

Cycling route and disc golf

The cultural heritage cycling route “In Roman Footsteps” runs across the Lechfeld from Graben through Untermeitingen to Klosterlechfeld. The order of the places gives you a clear framework for navigating the route and shows Untermeitingen as part of its course. Disc golf is also available at the sports grounds in Untermeitingen. If you want to plan this activity in advance, check its current availability before your visit.

More activities in the wider Augsburg destination

The wider Augsburg destination offers further nature and activity options. The Bonstetten LandArt art trail is a 5.65-kilometre circular walking route; along the trail, the artist Hama Lohrmann personally explains his sculptures. The three-kilometre meditation trail leads from Oberschönenfeld Cistercian Abbey to Weiherhof on the edge of the Schwarzachtal forest. This makes it easy to compare the stated lengths of the two routes: three kilometres versus 5.65 kilometres.

The Augsburg district has a well-developed network of cycling paths. The Stauden, Holzwinkel and Reischenau regions are part of Augsburg – Western Forests Nature Park. Westwood Alpacas regularly offers alpaca hikes and excursions through the nature park. These regional examples add further options in the wider Augsburg destination to Untermeitingen’s meeting places, historic sites and cycling route.
