Oberuhldingen combines local history with a regular weekly market and a circular hike that passes through the town on its return leg. St. Wolfgang’s Chapel is a landmark in the town centre; the railway station is also located in Oberuhldingen. This gives you the option to focus your stay on different things: exploring the historic town centre, planning around market day or choosing a route with several stops.

Local history in the town centre

Dedicated to St. Wolfgang of Regensburg, St. Wolfgang’s Chapel dates back to the 16th century. As a historic attraction, it is a landmark in Oberuhldingen’s town centre and is one of the municipality’s few listed buildings. It is therefore a specific point of interest for anyone who is also interested in the town’s history during their stay.

Another historical perspective extends beyond the individual building: Oberuhldingen belonged to Salem Abbey until 1803. Two different points in time are therefore reflected here—the 16th-century chapel and the town’s ties to the abbey, which ended in 1803.

When looking for a holiday apartment in Oberuhldingen, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay: local history, the regular market day or a hike with several stops.

Planning market day and your journey

A circular hike through varied landscapes

A circular hike starts in Nußdorf am Bodensee and follows the lakeshore to the Baroque Birnau pilgrimage church, then continues through the Seefelder Aach nature reserve and on to the Unteruhldingen Stilt House Museum. On the return leg, the route passes through Oberuhldingen and the Mauracher Wald before returning to Nußdorf. The lakeshore, church, nature reserve, museum and forest are all included in this described circuit, which brings together a variety of landscape and cultural features. Check the current route and local trail conditions before setting out.

The Auto & Tractor Museum in Uhldingen offers a different theme. Its exhibition takes visitors on a journey through 100 years of urban and rural life and features 350 vehicles from automotive history: cars, motorcycles and tractors. The exhibition’s scope and presentation may change, so it is worth checking the museum’s latest information before planning a visit.
