One unusual part of Eberhardzell’s cultural identity is the Bach-nab-Fahrt, where decorated rafts satirically comment on various topics. Within the municipality, the Füramooser Ried nature reserve contrasts with excursion destinations near Füramoos and a circular hiking trail. Together with the parish church, these offer a range of options for different interests in culture and the outdoors.
Culture, Fasnet and architectural history
In Upper Swabia’s Fasnet carnival, Eberhardzell is known for the Bach-nab-Fahrt. Decorated rafts satirically comment on events in the village, in politics and on other topics. The range of subjects thus extends from local events to political issues, with satire bringing these different references together.
Eberhardzell’s parish church combines a Baroque choir with a high altar and a modern transept. The contrast between the two areas makes the church a distinctive architectural landmark. The choir contains the tomb of the knight Victor von Neideck, who died on 20 December 1502. The tomb adds a specific person and exact date of death to the architectural story.
Eberhardzell’s historic tithe barn offers rooms for conferences, seminars, workshops and lectures. A virtual tour provides insights into the building’s history, rooms and distinctive features. The tithe barn thus offers two things: the event uses listed above and the opportunity to explore the building virtually.
Landscape and activities within the municipality
The 39-hectare FĂĽramooser Ried nature reserve is located in the FĂĽramoos district and is a habitat for rare plants and animals. For those who like to consider natural attractions in terms of their habitats, it offers a specific point of reference for flora and fauna.
On hot days, you can swim at Holzweiher, 1.6 km from FĂĽramoos. You can also go for a stroll or take a walk there. The same destination therefore offers one water-based activity and two ways to explore on foot. When planning your day, you can decide whether swimming or outdoor exercise should take priority.
Hohbäumle near Füramoos is an excursion destination with a place to rest. In good weather, the view takes in the Alpine panorama from the Zugspitze to the Säntis; the spire of Ulm Minster is also visible. This view sets the destination apart from Holzweiher: the distant panorama depends on the weather, while swimming and walking are the main activities at the pond. The municipality thus offers different options: a view that depends on the weather, or water and exercise.
Circular Hiking Trail 3 around Eberhardzell passes Heinrichsburg, founded in 1478, and continues to the Liebherr estate management office. The route therefore links a named historical landmark with a specific destination. If you plan to take this route, check local trail conditions before setting out.
