Discover Deilingen

Culture and winter in Deilingen

Deilingen combines historical connections with winter activities. In Delkhofen, the Verenakapelle commemorates the chaplaincy established in 1506; in the winter season, there is also the cross-country ski trail and a ski school programme that was offered one winter. If you are looking for a hotel in Deilingen, you can match your travel dates to the focus of your stay: cultural history or winter sports.

Verenakapelle in Delkhofen

The Verenakapelle is in Delkhofen, a district of Deilingen, and is a listed monument. Its history goes back to a chaplaincy established in 1506. This gives the specific location a clearly dated historical connection. The chapel is a cultural point of interest for planning your trip; this does not imply that it is possible to visit the interior.

Cross-country ski loop and ski school lessons

The Deilingen cross-country ski trail is a six-kilometre loop of easy to moderate difficulty. Its length and circular route give you a clear reference point for planning your winter activities. Grooming and snow conditions vary by season; check conditions for your travel dates.

In addition, one winter the WSC ski school offered lessons for children and young people at the ski lift in Deilingen. Children aged five and over practised walking and gliding on flat terrain, climbing uphill, straight-line skiing and their first turns using colourful aids. This describes a course programme offered one winter, not a current commitment to offer lessons on specific dates. If lessons are important for your trip, check whether a programme is available for your travel dates. The cross-country ski trail and the course programme represent different aspects of winter sports: a loop route on the one hand and guided instruction in the basics on the other.

The wider destination of Tuttlingen

The wider destination of Tuttlingen opens up views across a larger landscape. The district of Tuttlingen covers 734.4 square kilometres and extends across the southwestern foothills of the Swabian Alb, parts of the Baar region and the Young Danube valley. In the northern part are juniper heaths and the region known as the 10-Tausender, with ten mountains over 1,000 metres high. The district’s scenic highlights include the Danube gorge and the Höwenegg volcanic crater. White limestone cliffs rise above the Danube valley. The Danube Sinkhole between Immendingen, Möhringen, Tuttlingen and Fridingen also displays varying water levels: some stretches carry plenty of water, others dry up completely or have very little water.

The wider destination of Tuttlingen offers a range of themes for culture enthusiasts. The Neuhausen ob Eck Open-Air Museum features 25 historic buildings that were dismantled at their original locations, moved there and restored to their original condition. In Fridingen, the Museum in the Künstlerhaus Scharf Eck is dedicated to Hans Bucher, a painter of the Danube valley: his life and work are presented across three floors. The Museum Oberes Donautal in Ifflinger Castle has a different focus, with changing special exhibitions and permanent exhibitions on the town and its rulers, archaeology, carnival and recent history. The region’s cultural attractions thus range from relocated historic buildings to an artist and several aspects of local history.

The walking routes described in the wider destination of Tuttlingen also vary in length and character. The “Donauversinkung” premium hiking trail, part of the DonauWellen trails, runs between Tuttlingen-Möhringen and Immendingen. The final section of the Albsteig leads via Rußberg, Bettelmannskeller and Nonnehöhle near Wurmlingen directly to Tuttlingen. In Tuttlingen-Nendingen, the two-kilometre “Rock- & Roll-Tour” is a largely barrier-free walking and hiking route that is fully wheelchair-accessible. Check current trail conditions before setting out.
