The history of Donauwörth took a remarkable course at the latest with the construction of a castle on the Mangoldfelsen/Mangoldstein around the year 900. A well-known place of pilgrimage (Holy Spirit Church and Monastery) and one of the bases of the Fuggers, who were incredibly wealthy at the time. There is also an old railway line and an old port on the Danube to discover here. Many historic buildings have been lovingly restored. Donauwörth is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Here you can perfectly combine culture and nature.

Donauwörth - Bavarian-Swabian Danube pearls on the Romantic Road. That is the slogan of the city. And not without reason. At the confluence of the Danube and Wörnitz rivers, the city offers a lot of sights and lots of opportunities for relaxation. Scenic highlights would be z. For example, the Ries meteorite crater, the gentle hills of the Swabian Jura, the steep slopes of the Franconian Jura and the river plains of Wörnitz, Lech and Danube.

The founding history goes back to 500 AD. As a result, there is a lot to do historically. Magnificent buildings such as the Fuggerhaus, the Teutonic Order and several churches make a city tour very entertaining. With its train station, Donauwörth is easily accessible and ideal as a starting point for the Albsteig long-distance hiking trail.
