About Bayerisch-Schwaben
Und was erwartet Dich da?
Eng gewebte Flusstäler, malerisches Alpenvorland und ein kreisrunder Meteoritenkrater: Bayerisch-Schwaben steht für einen Mix besonderer Naturlandschaften. So lässt sich im Geopark Ries entdecken, wie ein Meteoriteneinschlag tatsächlich Berge versetzen kann. Erlebnis-Geotope als "Fenster in die Erdgeschichte" führen zu den interessantesten Punkten.
Eine Schatzkammer für Naturfans ist auch das Schwäbische Donautal mit seinen Mooren, Auwäldern und Seen - bestens geeignet zum Wandern (auf dem DonAUwald-Wanderweg) und beim Radfahren auf dem DonauTäler-Radweg.
Wie eng Natur- und Kulturerbe miteinander verbunden sind, zeigt Bayerisch-Schwabens Hauptstadt Augsburg. Ihre einzigartige Wasserwirtschaft – ausgezeichnet mit dem UNESCO-Welterbe-Titel – gründet ebenfalls auf der Lage zwischen den Flüssen.
Schon immer waren die Flusstäler Verbindungsrouten – Kelten, Römer und Alemannen nahmen diesen Weg, Handel und Handwerk siedelten sich an, bedeutende Städte entstanden. Zentrale Achse fürs große Flüssehüpfen ist der berühmte Donau-Radweg. Weitere Flussradwege durchziehen die Region – vom Iller-Radweg ganz im Westen bis zur paradiesischen Paartal-Tour ganz im Osten. Oder entlang der schönen Schleifen der Wörnitz über die von wilden Wäldern gesäumte Wertach bis hin zum ländlichen Idyll der Zusam. Aber auch der Premium-Radweg DonauTäler, der das Schwäbische Donautal im Westen Bayerisch-Schwabens durchzieht, eignet sich hierfür in idealer Weise, inkl. der drei Paralleltäler von Mindel, Kammel & Günz.
Für Naturliebhaber und Wanderer ein "Muss": der DonAUwald-Wanderweg, Bayerisch-Schwabens einziger Premium-Wanderweg. Hier kannst auf 5 Etappen entlang der Donau das größte zusammenhängende Auwaldgebiet an deutschen Flüssen mit bedeutendem Artenreichtum durchwandern.
