Discover Jettingen-Scheppach

In Jettingen-Scheppach, nature experiences and cultural discoveries are close together: a nature trail leads through the peatland landscape of the Mindel Valley, signposted paths invite you to go hiking, and churches tell stories of architecture and regional history. There are also Heiligmannsee lake and a golf course. This lets you tailor your stay to a wide range of interests.

Peatland, hiking trails and cycling routes

The Bremental peatland experience trail in Jettingen-Scheppach is a nature trail through the local peatland landscape of the Mindel Valley and is open year-round. If you enjoy exploring on foot, you will find well-signposted hiking trails in the Augsburg Western Forests Landscape Conservation Area. The named routes include “Around Allerheiligen” and the trail “to Violau.” Check the signs and trail conditions locally before planning your hike.

There are also several options for cycling tours: the Mindel Valley Cycle Path, the Glött Cycle Path, the 7 Swabians Tour and the Swabian Potato Tour pass through the municipality of Jettingen-Scheppach. The different route names give you specific options for planning; check the conditions on each route before setting off. With hiking trails and cycling routes, you can make your stay active without letting any single type of outing define the destination.

Water, fruit trees and a natural monument

Heiligmannsee lake has a sunbathing lawn and a shallow bathing shore that is also suitable for children. This is a different way to spend the day than hiking or cycling; please follow the local guidance on using the water. Another destination for a walk is the fruit tree trail near Allerheiligen. It introduces visitors to a variety of native fruit trees and is located on Allerheiligenstraße in the Scheppach district, west of the car park below the Allerheiligen pilgrimage church.

Above this pilgrimage church stands the Hebsack oak in Scheppacher Forest. It is designated a natural monument; in 2026, its age is estimated at around 375 years. The tree is a striking natural landmark in the Allerheiligen area. If you are interested in such special features, you can consider visiting the oak and the fruit tree trail together, without suggesting that they form a single route.

Churches, history and golf

The parish church of the Assumption of Mary in Scheppach was built in the 18th century. The building is Baroque, while the interior is Rococo: two different styles shape the architecture and interior of the same church. The parish church in Jettingen contains epitaphs of the Knights of Stain. If you are interested in historic places, both Scheppach and Jettingen offer a distinct point of interest.

Another leisure option is Golfclub Schloss Klingenburg: the 18-hole golf course is located at Klingenburg 1–3, 89343 Jettingen-Scheppach. So, alongside trails, water and churches, you can also choose a sporting activity.
