Deggenhausertal offers a range of activities for a stay: a 200 km network of hiking trails, the Swing Trail, the St. Francis Way and the Höchsten mountain tour, as well as a cycling tour to regional organic farms. Aquatal Wittenhofen adds an indoor pool and wellness area to the choices; noteworthy village churches and chapels add a cultural touch. This allows you to plan around exercise, regional produce, cultural interests, or water and wellness facilities.
Circular routes with different themes
The hiking trail network in Deggenhausertal covers 200 km. A specific destination for families and adults is the Deggenhausertal Swing Trail: this circular route, about 5 km long, has 14 swings and rocking seesaws. For most of its length, it follows a lightly trafficked local connecting road and a paved farm track, so it can also be managed with a stroller or tricycle. The Swing Trail is open from the start of the Easter holidays until early November. Check current trail conditions before your visit.
The St. Francis Way offers a different focus. This 6.7 km circular route starts in Wittenhofen, passes through Obersiggingen and returns to Wittenhofen. Designed as a meditative hiking trail, it features wayside shrines inspired by the Canticle of the Sun by St. Francis of Assisi. While the Swing Trail focuses on exercise and play, the St. Francis Way takes its character from its religious theme. A number of noteworthy village churches and chapels add to Deggenhausertal’s cultural offerings.
The Höchsten mountain tour and the views
The Höchsten mountain tour descends to Obersiggingen in Deggenhausertal, crosses the village stream and follows fields along the edge of the forest. The route returns to its starting point via the car park in Deggenhausen. At Höchsten, which reaches just under 838 metres above sea level, a purpose-built pavilion offers a 240-kilometre panorama of the Alps in clear weather. The route and the view are separate points to consider when planning your tour.
Indoor swimming and wellness at Aquatal Wittenhofen
The indoor pool at Aquatal Wittenhofen in Deggenhausertal has a separate children’s pool. The sauna and wellness area includes a solarium, sauna, steam room, experience showers and a sauna garden. This adds another option for planning your day alongside activities on hiking and cycling trails. If you plan a visit, check Aquatal’s current operating conditions beforehand.
Cycle to regional organic farms
The Organic Farm Discovery cycling tour through Deggenhausertal takes you to regional organic farms. There, visitors can get a behind-the-scenes look, talk with farmers and enjoy produce directly from the producers. The tour is suitable for families, nature lovers and leisure cyclists. Its focus is on the farms, meeting the farmers and regional produce. If you are weighing up hiking and cycling tours, this offers a different way to plan activities in Deggenhausertal.
