Discover Kammeltal

Kammeltal combines active exploration with a cultural destination: cycling and hiking routes give your stay an active feel, while the Wettenhausen monastery complex adds a distinctive highlight. Specific route features include wetland habitats, the Kammel River, and the villages of Keuschlingen, Behlingen and Unterrohr. This makes it a destination where routes and cultural heritage can be explored as two different aspects of a stay.

Cycling and hiking routes in Kammeltal

Kammeltal offers visitors cycling and hiking routes. One route runs along newly created wetland habitats and passes through Keuschlingen and Behlingen on its way to Unterrohr. These landscape features and villages provide concrete points of reference for planning: you can consider which kind of route and which named places best match your idea of a day outdoors.

The cycling route crosses the Kammel twice; the second crossing is shortly before Hammerstetten. From Unterrohr, a route follows the Kammel towards Ettenbeuren. The landscape and village references provide a range of landmarks: wetland habitats and named places, as well as river crossings and the course of the Kammel. You can decide which of these features should shape your choice of route based on the kind of day you want.

Wettenhausen Monastery: architecture and history

The Wettenhausen monastery complex is also a destination along the route. The monastery’s Imperial Hall features a monumental stucco ceiling paying homage to the House of Austria. Concerts, conferences and ceremonies are held in the Imperial Hall. The Wettenhausen Monastery Museum opened in 2021 and offers insights into the monastery’s almost thousand-year-old tradition. Its opening year and historical subject belong to different time periods. The Imperial Hall is notable for a specific architectural detail, while the museum turns the focus to the monastery’s long history.

More perspectives in the wider Günzburg destination

The wider Günzburg destination offers further regional perspectives. The DonAuwald hiking trail is the first premium hiking trail in Bavarian Swabia and runs for around 60 kilometres between Günzburg and Schwenningen. The DonauHänge form an 18.5-kilometre circular route between Günzburg and Offingen through the hillside forest. Certified Streifzüge walking trails also run alongside streams and ponds and through gently rolling hills. Together, these examples show a range of route formats: a longer route with two named endpoints, a shorter circular route, and walking trails through varied landscapes. This gives you a concrete basis for comparison when weighing up a hiking route, circular trail or walking route as you plan your holiday. For cycling, the GünzBike cycling map provides an overview of the river valley cycle routes in the district of Günzburg, as well as the Danube Cycle Path, the DonauTäler Cycle Route and the LEGOLAND® Family Route.
