Discover Buttenwiesen

In Buttenwiesen, the Donauried Sculpture Trail, the Via Danubia and Jewish heritage sites come together. When planning your trip, you can consider these topics separately: connections to cycle routes, regional information about the Via Danubia, and places that commemorate Jewish life in Buttenwiesen.

Sculpture Trail and Via Danubia

The Donauried Sculpture Trail connects to existing cycle routes, including the Via Danubia. It is a joint project by Buttenwiesen and Wertingen, in collaboration with the Donautal-Aktiv e.V. regional association. For your planning, the trail’s connection to the cycle network is therefore a practical point of reference. The Roman viewpoint on Thürlesberg in Buttenwiesen is also a sight along the Via Danubia. It links the route with a named cultural and historical destination.

In the wider region, the Via Danubia between Bad Gögging and Passau is rated as a moderately difficult route. It is particularly suitable for cycling and can also be explored on foot. The period from March to November is given as the best time to visit. You can take the information about transport and season into account together when planning your trip, without treating it as applying to a single stage.

The historical information also relates to different aspects of the route: the Via Danubia has existed since 2001. A new, almost 67-kilometre section between Günzburg and Oberndorf am Lech opened in 2006. The year 2001 therefore refers to the Via Danubia’s existence, while the 2006 opening and stated distance refer to this section.

Jewish heritage sites in Buttenwiesen

The outdoor exhibition “370 Years of Jewish Life in Buttenwiesen” is located at Louis-Lamm-Platz and in the area of the former synagogue in Buttenwiesen. Its title explicitly states its subject. If you would like to include the exhibition in your travel plans, check the operator’s website for current visiting arrangements before you arrive.

The Jewish complex in Buttenwiesen includes a mikveh, a Jewish cemetery and an exhibition room in the former synagogue. Opening hours are listed as the last Sunday of each month from March to October, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Check the operator’s website before your visit to confirm that the access and opening-hour information is up to date.

More perspectives in the wider destination of Dillingen An Der Donau

In the wider destination of Dillingen An Der Donau, the DonAUwald hiking trail offers a different perspective on the region. It runs for just under 60 kilometres through the floodplain forests along the Danube, 40 kilometres of which are in the district of Dillingen. The trail is Bavaria-Swabia’s first premium hiking trail. All five classic stages can be reached conveniently by train, making travel climate-neutral. This information relates to the regional hiking trail and its stages.

The Donautal-Radelspaß is also a regional event to consider in your plans: it takes place every two years on a weekend in September, with the central event held in the district of Dillingen. Three signposted routes, closed to cars, lead participants on culinary and cultural tours. If you would like to plan your trip around this event, check the specific event year.

Other regional highlights include the landscape and architecture. Over many years, gravel extraction along the Danube in the district of Dillingen has created a landscape of water and lakes. The seven chapels aim to create landmarks and architectural features in the landscape, while carrying on the tradition of chapel building in a contemporary style.
