The Upper Gate, Weißenhorn's landmark, is a remnant of the town's medieval fortifications. The four-sided gate tower was probably built around 1480; the outer gate and the round towers on the sides were added later. Today, the gate serves as a picturesque subject for photographs.

Great cycle path along the Iller river

The gate is part of the city wall, today a museum

Great church in Babenhausen in the middle of town

The beautiful monastery complex and the beer garden are highly recommended. Great food at affordable prices.

To us, a mill pond like the one presented to the biker here may seem very ordinary, but in the fantasy world of someone like Otfried Preußler (1923 to 2013), who became famous with the children's books he wrote, things look very different: It is also the habitat of a water sprite family, and his book "The Little Water Sprite", which is still popular today, tells of the adventures that the family's offspring experience in the mill pond. The "Stiftung Lesen" reviews it: "The water sprite invited twenty-seven relatives - and twenty-six came. Twelve water sprites with their wives, a well man and the bridge woman from St. Nepomuk's Bridge! And they all accepted the invitation because they want to see the little water sprite that the water sprite dad is so proud of. And he can be - because the cheeky little shirt-faced boy can already swim, barely having been born. And he learns everything else faster than his worried parents would like. His friend, the cautious carp Cyprinus, can sometimes only wiggle his fins... The children's book classic from 1956 has already enchanted generations of readers, who can then pass on their own childhood memories as well as the fantastic adventures of the little water sprite when reading aloud to children aged around 5 and above."
