Nature at Königsegger See

Königsegger See is also known as Hoßkircher See. This natural lake is set amid woodland and covers approximately 18 hectares. The lake is protected as a landscape conservation area, a Fauna-Flora-Habitat site, and a biotope. If you are planning to visit a specific location, check the current boundaries of the protected area beforehand. This will help you take the protected status into account when choosing a particular area.

Plan the Robber Trail on foot or by bike

The approximately 8-kilometer-long Robber Trail runs between Hoßkirch and Ostrach. You can cover it on foot or by bike. Hoßkirch railway stop can be at either the beginning or the end of the route. This gives you three specific points to consider when choosing an outing: the distance, the possible modes of travel, and a possible starting or finishing point. It is a good idea to check current trail conditions before setting out.

The lake and the Robber Trail offer different experiences: the lake provides a natural setting amid woodland, while the route is a trail that can be covered on foot or by bike. When planning your day, you can first decide whether a particular trail or the natural area around the lake is your main interest.

Culture and landscape in the wider Ravensburg travel destination

Cultural and landscape attractions add to the options in the wider Ravensburg travel destination. The Humpis Quarter Museum opened in July 2009. Its permanent exhibition extends across five buildings in a late-medieval residential quarter. The museum offers regular public tours, as well as individually bookable tours for school classes, children, and adults. If a particular date matters to you, check current tour and booking options in advance.

The Wolfegg Farmhouse Museum of Allgäu-Oberschwaben focuses on the region’s former way of life and work: it illustrates how people’s ancestors worked, lived, and made their homes there. The grounds preserve 28 historic buildings, some of them several centuries old. Numerous cycling and hiking trails lead to the museum. This offers a different cultural and historical perspective from the Humpis Quarter, whose permanent exhibition spans the buildings of a late-medieval residential quarter.

Achberg Castle is the Ravensburg District’s cultural center. It stands high above the Argental valley and showcases Baroque architecture. The castle is open to all visitors and offers educational activities for children. The landscape is also part of what it offers: circular hiking trails starting at the castle cross gently rolling meadows on the high bank and pass steep slopes with ravines along the valley flank of the Argental. Architecture, cultural activities, and varied landscapes can all be found here.
