In Jettingen-Scheppach, there is plenty to explore during a stay, from peatland landscapes and fruit trees to hiking and cycling routes, churches, a bathing area and golf. This makes it easy to focus on what interests you most: nature trails offer a range of themes, while churches and golf provide further options for planning your trip.
Nature Trails, Hiking and Cycling
The Bremental Peatland Experience Trail in Jettingen-Scheppach leads through the local peatland landscape of the Mindel Valley and is open year-round. Here, the landscape itself is the focus of the trail. The orchard trail near Allerheiligen offers a different emphasis: it showcases a variety of native fruit trees and is located on AllerheiligenstraĂźe in the district of Scheppach, west of the car park below the Allerheiligen pilgrimage church.
The Augsburg Western Forests Nature Park has well-marked hiking trails. These include the “Around Allerheiligen” trail and the route “to Violau.” Check the signage and trail conditions on site before choosing a route. Another destination in the Scheppach Forest is the Hebsack Oak, a natural monument above the Allerheiligen pilgrimage church. Its age is estimated at around 375 years in 2026.
There are also several named options for cycling tours: the Mindel Valley Cycle Path, the Glött Cycle Path, the 7-Swabians Tour and the Swabian Potato Tour all pass through the municipality of Jettingen-Scheppach. These routes offer different options to choose from depending on your plans; check current route conditions before setting off.
At Heiligmannsee, there is a sunbathing lawn and a shallow bathing area that is also suitable for children. Follow the notices posted on site about using the water. Alongside trails and cycling tours, this provides a bathing spot as another option for planning your day.
Churches, Local History and Golf
The parish church of the Assumption of Mary in Scheppach was built in the 18th century. The building is Baroque, while the interior is Rococo. These two stylistic designations offer a specific way to focus on the architecture of the building and its interior during your visit.
A different point of interest can be found in Jettingen Parish Church, which houses epitaphs of the Knights of Stain. While the church in Scheppach has an architectural focus in its construction period and design, the epitaphs in Jettingen draw attention to the Knights of Stain. This is what makes each church especially interesting for a cultural and historical trip.
Schloss Klingenburg Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course at Klingenburg 1–3, 89343 Jettingen-Scheppach. If you plan to play a round, it is a good idea to check the latest information about the course layout beforehand, as it may change.
