Deggenhausertal: Hiking, Cycling and Wellness
Accommodation in Deggenhausertal
Deggenhausertal offers a variety of ways to spend your stay: hiking, cycling, cultural attractions and Aquatal Wittenhofen. If you’re looking for a hotel in Deggenhausertal, first consider which excursions suit your travel interests. A 200-kilometre network of hiking trails provides the setting for tours; there are also themed trails, a cycle tour to organic farms and an indoor swimming pool with a sauna and wellness area.
Hiking trails by length and theme
Two circular trails differ in distance and focus. The Schaukelweg Deggenhausertal is about five kilometres long and features 14 swings and seesaws for children and adults. It runs mostly along a quiet local road and a paved farm track, so it can also be completed with a pushchair or tricycle. The trail is accessible from the start of the Easter holidays until early November. Check the latest information on accessibility before your visit.
The Franziskusweg is a 6.7-kilometre circular trail from Wittenhofen via Obersiggingen and back to Wittenhofen. Designed as a meditative hiking trail, it features wayside shrines inspired by the Canticle of the Sun by Saint Francis of Assisi. The two circular trails offer clear differences to help you choose: about five kilometres with swings and seesaws, or 6.7 kilometres with wayside shrines and a meditative focus.
Another hiking option is the Höchsten mountain tour. It descends to Obersiggingen and returns to the starting point via the village stream, fields on the edge of the forest and the car park in Deggenhausen. Höchsten, which reaches just under 838 metres above sea level, has a specially built pavilion that offers a 240-kilometre panorama of the Alps on clear days.
Indoor swimming and wellness at Aquatal
Aquatal Wittenhofen in Deggenhausertal combines an indoor swimming pool with a sauna and wellness area. The indoor pool has a separate children’s pool. The wellness area includes a solarium, sauna, steam room, experience showers and a sauna garden. When planning your outing, you can decide whether the indoor pool or the wellness facilities are your main priority. Facilities and operating conditions may change, so check the latest information before your visit.
Cycle tour and cultural attractions
The Biohof-Genuss cycle tour through Deggenhausertal takes you to regional organic farms. There, you can look behind the scenes, chat with farmers and enjoy products directly from the producer. The tour is suitable for families, nature lovers and leisure cyclists. Its focus differs from that of the hiking trails: visits to the farms, conversations with farmers and sampling their products are all part of the experience.
A number of noteworthy village churches and chapels also add cultural attractions to the selection. You can tailor your trip to your interests: a hike with a particular theme, a cycle tour with farm visits, a visit to Aquatal or a look at the village churches and chapels of Deggenhausertal.
