Rent a vacation apartment Upper Swabia

Get married in the middle of your holiday in front of a historic backdrop

The answer to the question about a holiday destination is never easy: Hamburg, for example (But what differences are there between the city and its surroundings?) or the Rhineland (But where exactly in this flat but charming stretch of land does it take the traveller?). But if you answer Oberschwaben, you have to think even more. The approximate definition could be as follows: Upper Swabia or Swabian Oberland was for a time the name given to the landscape roughly forming a triangle between the southern edge of the Swabian Alb (upper Danube valley), Lake Constance and the Lech. Relatively recently, the eastern border is more likely to be the Iller with the state border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. This confusion is solely due to the long course of time with numerous changes.

Active outdoors six times over: hiking and cycling, paddling and climbing, running and skating - Upper Swabia is the right holiday region for the best time of the year. The expanse and play of colours of Lake Constance, the panorama of the Alps and discovery tours of the surrounding countryside blend together to create a holiday feeling that is addictive. Winter is the peak season for relaxation. Sledding or snowshoeing in the nearby Alps is just as good a way to take a break from everyday life as leisurely walks.

A Dünnele tastes quite strong. The leaves are slowly turning colourful and the trees and vines are hanging full of fruit - the time of the great harvest is beginning. A perfect time to explore the region in a pleasurable way. Whether on foot or by bike: wine festivals, wine taverns and Besenwirtschaften invite you to linger over a glass of "fresh wine" with Dünnele (similar to Alsace tarte flambée) and many other regional delicacies on a tour through the region.

"The holy mountain of Upper Swabia". It doesn't always have to be the Way of St. James through northern Spain: the pilgrims' and philosophers' paths in the heart of Europe invite you to sharpen your own focus once again on the essentials and let your thoughts wander with philosophical topics of conversation. The Bussen, place of pilgrimage and excursion destination at the same time, is a landmark of the region with 767 metres and is considered "the holy mountain of Upper Swabia". It dominates the landscape and the white Bussen Church is visible from afar. The ascent is rewarded with a panoramic view as far as Lake Constance and the Alps.

Never boring: family outings in nature. On exposed panoramic paths you can enjoy the late summer sunshine at lofty heights. In good weather, the ascent promises a unique view over Lake Constance and its four countries Austria, Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein. Gorges, moors, water playgrounds and themed trails ensure that the family outing into nature is guaranteed not to be one thing: boring. Fragrant forests, spectacular mountain peaks, green vines and tranquil lakes: these hiking, cycling, snowshoe and canoe tours take you right into the heart of nature in the four-country region, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

If you are a fan of nature and being active, you can choose from the following options in Upper Swabia: In the varied landscape, there is a suitable cycling and hiking route for every level. Most cycling tours in Upper Swabia take you along cycle paths and forest trails on roads with little traffic. In addition, the slightly hilly landscape is also ideal for hikes and walks. A special feature is the Upper Swabian Jakobusweg (St. James' Way), which follows a historically documented route in the footsteps of the medieval Jakob pilgrims.

The holiday region can be discovered from a completely different perspective on a canoe tour on the Danube, the Schussen or the Iller. Upper Swabia is also the land of lakes and ponds. The nature conservation centres offer a wide range of activities where you can experience the natural landscape up close and learn a lot of interesting facts.

Whether by e-bike or in the conventional way, Upper Swabia and the Württemberg Allgäu are geared up for cycling enthusiasts on holiday. Attractive routes, friendly hosts, e-bike rental and battery charging stations - the cycling region offers an all-round carefree package. Two quality cycle routes awarded four stars by the ADFC are available to cycling holidaymakers: The Danube-Lake Constance Cycle Route and the Upper Swabia-Allgäu Cycle Route not only impress guests with their varied routing and exciting sights along the way, but have also been tested in terms of safety, accessibility and signposting.

Many castles and palaces close together. Old walls awaken the imagination. If you stroll through the rooms in castles and palaces, hear the parquet floor creak under your feet and let your gaze wander over lavishly decorated walls, you can sense something of the spirit of times gone by. In the past, the area between the Danube and Lake Constance resembled a political patchwork quilt in which many nobles ruled over their small kingdoms. And because each one built his or her own residence, there are a particularly large number of palaces and castles close together in Upper Swabia and in the Württemberg Allgäu region. Today they are open to visitors who can stroll through the buildings, view exhibitions, listen to concerts and even get married in front of a historic backdrop.

Whether newlyweds or tired after an action-packed day, the weary head wants to be bedded down in suitable surroundings. Holiday flats or holiday homes can be booked according to personal taste, of course also in terms of size or number of bedrooms.
