Mentioned on 
1 list 
Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the serene meadows of Bavaria, the Pilgrimage Church of Wies is a stunning example of 18th-century rococo architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Constructed between 1745 and 1754, this oval church captivates visitors with its intricate stuccowork, vibrant frescoes, and an awe-inspiring trompe l'oeil ceiling that rivals even the grandeur of the Sistine Chapel.
Just amazing!! You can't believe your eyes! Very well organised with walking distance Parking lot and a restaurant opposite the church. There are souvenir shops and public toilets next to the parking.
Daisy A — Google review
Don’t let the simple exterior fool you, this charming church hides breathtaking beauty inside. A true hidden gem, it’s well worth a stop, especially if you’re on a road trip. Conveniently, there’s a car park nearby, making it easy to visit. Step inside and prepare to be amazed by its stunning interior!
Harold H — Google review
The outside of this church could easily fool you into thinking it is just like any other church. But step inside and you will be amazed at the gold and colourful artwork on the ceiling. It reminds me of the Sistine Chapel in a way, with the incredible drawings of scenes from important religious events. You can pay €1 to light a candle inside, or €1.50 to buy a decorated candle (obtained near the entrance), although this is only for you to light at home. You can write your prayer on a pice of paper and leave it near the altar, along with other people’s prayers. Entry to the church is free, parking is paid for. The car park is large enough to accommodate motorhomes.

The Wieskirche, a stunning Rococo church and UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands peacefully in the middle of a meadow. Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior dazzles with gorgeous decorations. It’s an absolute must-visit along the Romantische Straße (Romantic Road), and we can’t wait to return.

If you are in the area, this is a must see. It is free entry. Though donations are advised. The views on the way and the views outside the church are also spectacular. This is a fantastic piece of rococo architecture.

A Rococo church from 1754, which hide a great story of the Jesus painting. Unesco world heritage. beautiful interior architecture from altars to ceiling to walls. outstanding exterior architecture. surrounded by green fields, horse stables. theres a parking available for 2€, restaurants, kiosks and souvenirs shops are also at the entrance square.
David A — Google review
Spectacular beyond anything you would imagine if you see it from the outside. A pure gem worth the trip. The christ depictions the altar is like stepping through the looking glass. It sits with nothing but farms and greenery. It's right in the middle of the most amazing meadow just like someone imagined it in a dream, and it appeared.

It’s really nice, clean and calm. There is a camper place exactly next to the lake!
Shamim A — Google review
Every year in October the lake is drained and the water from Lake Forggensee is back by June 1st at the latest. The lake reaches its full water level around June 15th, so that you can only see, enjoy and experience it as a full reservoir for four to five months of the year.
Pengshan D — Google review
An amazing place for a day trip with your family or friends. The color of the water, mountains and sky makes it close to heaven. Easy to reach, not very far from Munich. It’s actually close to the boarder of Austria. If you go there, hopfensee and Lechfall is also recommended to visit. Hopfensee: specially for the sunset. Overall, it’s one of the most beautiful view I have ever seen in Bavaria till now.

Hohes Schloss

Mentioned on 
+27 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
Hohes Castle, located in the German town of Füssen at the end of the famous Romantic Avenue, offers stunning rural views and a glimpse into regional 1500s art. The castle's prominent hilltop position provides breathtaking vistas of the surrounding Alpine mountains and the serene Lech River. Visitors can explore its ornate banqueting hall, trompe-l'oeil paintings in the inner courtyard, an art gallery, prison tower, and a small chapel.
This place was a total surprise. Didn't know it existed until I walked up by chance - had time and decided to wonder. The park next to the castle opens in the evening. It was well maintained and a great place for an evening stroll around the castle. It feels very secluded. This is my favorite place on visiting Fussen; This compensates for the disappointment from visiting the two castles - H&N.

gothic medieval fortress served as seat for princes and now is a complex holding a Chapel, a museum of gothic medieval paintings, knight's hall and side chambers. entrance fee can be combined with the Rathaus museum. the interior fasade had some illusion paintings.
David A — Google review
The historic area around Füssen is home to the impressive Hochschloss, also known as the Hohes Schloss, which towers above the charming town center and offers a remarkable glimpse into late Gothic architecture and Bavarian history. The castle complex originally dates back to Roman times, but the current form was built and extensively renovated between the 13th and 15th centuries, later serving as a summer residence for the prince bishops of Augsburg. One of the most striking features is the illusionistic architectural paintings in the inner courtyard, which still enchant visitors today with their artistry and detail. During our visit, we enjoyed a leisurely afternoon exploring not just the castle’s exterior and courtyards but also ventured up to the Hochreservoir, which provided a unique perspective over Füssen and the surrounding landscape. The castle complex houses the State Gallery with regional art from the 15th and 16th centuries, as well as the Städtische Gemäldegalerie showcasing 19th-century works. Wandering through the battlements and climbing the towers rewarded us with panoramic views, and the peaceful, historic ambiance made for a memorable experience. It’s a wonderful destination for anyone interested in architecture, history, or simply looking for a beautiful spot to spend a quiet afternoon. The mix of art galleries, historic towers, and stunning views creates an inspiring setting well worth the visit. The Hochschloss and the Hochreservoir together made for a great day—highly recommended for a cultural and scenic outing in Füssen.

Old citadel situated above the city, very well preserved. Nice to visit any time of the day, but in the evening feels magical, especially during winter time.
Marius M — Google review
Very nice castle to visit while in Fussen. It was built in iterations starting with an “illegal” fortification in the 12th C. It houses art installations and it is also interesting to climb to the battlements and up the tower. There are great views of the cit and surrounding area that shout it be missed. Next to this impressive castle is a beautiful park with benches and views of the river far below. 45 minutes is all you need in the castle before you continue your exploration of the city. Have Fun!
Wayne B — Google review
A calm and nice castle on the hill in the town. It is now an art museum. I could walk to the square of the castle but not inside of the building itself. It seems the castle is only open for a limited time in a day, so check the information before you visit the place. The walkway between the castle and the river and the one behind the castle were also great spots to take a rest.

Alatsee, nestled in the Bavarian wilderness, is a scenic lake offering crystal-clear waters and stunning views of the nearby mountains. Surrounded by dense forests, it exudes an enchanting beauty that invites visitors to disconnect from technology and immerse themselves in nature. The area is perfect for leisurely walks or jogs around the lake, allowing for a peaceful retreat. Despite its proximity to the Austrian border, Alatsee remains relatively undiscovered compared to other attractions in Fussen.
Beautiful lake with crystal clear water. Super accessible from the old town centre. There is a restaurant right next to it but didn’t get it this time.

Stayed in a nearby hotel and found this beautiful garden. The German peoples pride in thier surroundings and love of the outdoors truly shows at this park. You can spend hours here discovering new plants and observing the many small animal enclosures.

UNESCO world heritage Park that is top notch in size, beauty and features. It's free, never locked and has the most flowers, herbs, trees and walking trails imaginable. Kneipp baths (multiple leg stations, arm stations for adults, kids and disabled people), educational herb garden with smell stations, frog pond, huge bird aviaries, fountains, lakes with duck islands, exercise and mobility stations ("the five Esslingers"), agility and balancing trails, barefoot trails, labyrinth, mud station to walk through and so much more. All based on Kneipp's natural healing therapies. You can't ever see it all, but you can try...
Naz S — Google review
Amazing location if you are looking for for a calm therapeutic nature walk. There are trailed walks pathways where you can walk barefoot and experience different senses. Though I have visited here before but yesterday the rose garden was not well maintained, I think this years constant rain was not good. Highly recommended as well if you are coming here with elderly parents
Koel G — Google review
Great destination for a calm therapeutic nature walk. One gets both peaceful and meditative encounter. The area is touristic also. I like the spacing and varieties of things to explore. It makes one appreciate the things we often take for granted. It's inspirational the history of the place and those that made it really happen. Fully recommend and worth your time if you're anywhere close to Bavaria.
Samuel S — Google review
Amazing park to visit in the middle of the forest. Beautiful rose garden and lovely lake. A bit disappointed as they don't keep the very famous umbrellas for longer time in the summer. Would be nicer if they stay there for the full summer time. Free parking for 2h. And Toilet facilities. There could be more take away coffee places and refreshments.

The barefoot trail is a lot of fun for the whole family. My only complaint is that some sections could be better marked since the paved road interrupts the trail. The trail is pretty rough on your feet but it is worth it for the experience. Some of the stations along the trail are mud pits, balance bridges, and various walking textures. Parking is a little difficult especially on weekends when the weather is nice. There are also limited lockers on site to store shoes. They require a 1 or 2 euro coin that is returned at the end of use.

More than 60 rides & attractions including roller coasters & water rides, plus a petting zoo.
Must visit! Kids had lot of fun. We were there on weekday so we could take most of the rides. Not much rush on weekends. Still we couldn’t cover everything. Need multiple visits if you plan to experience every ride. Food options are also great.

We was at the first time in Skyline Park near Bad Wörrishöfen. Not really crowded as used from other parks. Fair prices for food and beverages. Some attractions seemed a little bit older. Employees were helpful but not friendly. Overall it’s worth to visit Skyline Park especially with smaller children.

This is an excellent park to visit if you all about the rides! The rides are great. Including some that I had never seen before in other parks. Many of the rides are not for kids under 1.40cm and they are worth it! We visited the park middle of the week. Off season and with some small rain. And we had the feeling that we have the whole park to ourselves!! Stuff is friendly and all rides are operational even if you are the only one there!! It has less of the fairytale park but for hardcode riders!!! Loved it!

Wonderful experience for the whole family - or you can just go crazy with your friends! The entry fee is a bit expensive for the first look, but you got value for your money. The food and drinks are at reasonable prices - not double takedown, and I really appreciate it. The park is clean, the staff is really kind and helpful. Grab a map at the entrance and you can spend the whole day there. Highly recommended for everyone!
Csaba S — Google review
Nice choice of rollercoasters, roundabouts, and other rides. Plenty of opportunities to dine, quite some at reasonable prices. The experience very much depends on the length of the waiting queues and thus on the number of people visiting the park. We went on a Friday in August, where many Bavarians are on vacation, so it was great. Kids with a birthday +- 5 days of the visit are free. Reduced fees for all under 1.50m. Most really heavy rides are free from 1.50m and 14 years of age.
Ron M — Google review
We went here on 3 November during kids autumn break, knowing it was the last week before Skyline closes for winter break: we paid the full price as it would of been summer season, a lot of amusements did not work as well as small huts with snacks were also closed. The staff for the rides were extremely RUDE and moody. We started to question if that was after Halloween mood or what has happened but everyone working there was super grumpy. It was quite disappointing experience and not worth of the money we spent.
Ieva S — Google review
If you want to use the train you have to walk 10-15 minutes from the station Rammingen bay to arrive the parking space and from there enter the park. If you are alone walking through empty fields might feel a bit uneasy. At least for me as a solo visitor arriving there early Sunday. You are provided with a useful map at the ticket booth. Adrenaline seekers should pick red-marked-equipments. There are beautiful sites for nature lovers as well. You need at least 5-6 hours to walk around and stay in line for your favourite games. The price and distance worth the adventure.

Baroque church built in 1652 & housing elaborate gilded accents, sculptures & frescoes.
Baroque huge basilic. dated to the 17th century and part of the complex in this hill. inside the church is like visiting Rome, with golden stripes on the ceilings/walls, paintings and granite/golden altars. very magnificent.
David A — Google review
This is the centrepiece of Kempten! An unmissable landmark in the Hildegardplatz with double tower facade and majestic steps. The interior awes you with baroque architecture, numerous frescos of Andreas Asper, and even one featuring Hildegard herself (which I couldn't spot it, my mistake). The foundation stone was laid in 1652 after the old church was ruined during The Thirty Years' War. Opened in 1670 as a monastery and a parish church, it now acts as a Roman Catholic parish church for the Diocese of Augsburg. It's the place to visit in this city and becomes livelier during the weekend market on Saturdays.

Connie C — Google review
Was completely blown away by the beauty of this church. Photos does not do it justice. A must for anybody visiting the town of Kempten. Entrance is free so you literally have no excuse not to go. The church is currently undergoing maintenance and may look a little unwelcoming, but it is open (just walk to the door and open it). I will return one more time before my trip is over. I would give it five stars, but because of the limited tourist information available, I can't. I understand however, that the church is not a commercialised attraction, and that it may be costly for the church to provide pamphlets and marketing materials if entrance is free of charge. Still, this is an amazing place. Go, enjoy the artwork, or sit down and say a prayer. This building is an absolute masterpiece. Appreciate it.

Stop by around noon for a break. It was a Sunday they had a mass on walked inside it was spectacular! Quite dreamy. Next to the church food market with a few food trucks around the fountain. Tried a few it was great! Had truffle gnocchi with generous shaving of truffle it was a highlight of the foodie experience. Spoke to one of the truffle specialist they offer truffle hunting tours but we are on. Schedule maybe for next time.

Alpsee Bergwelt

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Temporarily Closed
Summer toboggan run
Water & Amusement Parks
Alpsee Bergwelt in Immenstadt offers an exhilarating Alpine roller coaster that winds through a forested mountainside, providing thrills for visitors of all ages. The attraction also features Germany's longest year-round toboggan run, the Alpsee coaster, as well as the Barenfalle high ropes course and the 'Abenteuer Alpe' mountain-playing adventure. Families can enjoy a large playground for little ones and zip lines for older kids and parents.
Plenty of parking, at least for this time of year, with only a €3 charge. Need to put in the cart number plate and pay the fixed fee for the whole day. Process to go on the cable car are €15,50 for adults for a rework trip which you can choose to come down with the coaster. Decided to go for a walk up with the kids (4 and 6) which we managed 1/4th of the way as it gets really steep. Can spend a few hours here
Mark P — Google review
What an awesome place to spend time with your family. They make it easy to get up the mountain using the ski lift. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or online all at the same price. Family discounts are offered and you can purchase packages for all the attractions. The Llama park was a treat and they even have three different places to eat once you summit. The toboggan karts are clean and very safe going down for like what it seemed as an eternity. I would highly recommend it as a must visit if you're in this area.
Anibal P — Google review
It's a great place for nature lovers. You can try a combination ticket for ascending and descending by cable car, or ascending and descending by coaster. Alternatively, you can walk up and down. The upper section consists of three sections: a children's park with an entrance fee, a climbing experience trail, and a free common area open to everyone. Spending time at an altitude of 1100 metres is enjoyable. I recommend bringing tick and insect repellent. Restaurant prices are reasonable and not touristy.

Alpine resort with dense tree covering & a wealth of summer & winter activities for visitors.
A fantastic place to walk with the family, lots of fun and adventure guaranteed, and of course, with beautiful landscapes. there are several trails to do on foot or with ski equipment. A beautiful city too.

It is a nice, small ski area for families to introduce their kids to skiing. Being very small you can always keep an eye on your little ones, during their ski class or after (if they are old enough, to ski alone). The reason for only three stars is, it’s mainly having old T-bar lifts and this is in my opinion something to change, at least for one or two of the old T-bars. Nevertheless i will return with my family as i like the area.

Visitors can enjoy therapeutic massages provided by skilled therapists who offer relief for various issues such as tight muscles, achy joints, fluid retention and thyroid problems.

Amazing pool and sauna. Could spend all day here. Some saunas have an amazing view over the mountains. The food at the sauna bar is limited, but you can take a break from the sauna and get very tasty food at the swimming pool restaurant. Very convenient parking right next door, don't forget to scan your parking ticket inside for the 50% discount. Also very nice: you have 12 minutes from your end time to check out (before paying per half hour started). 10/10 sauna (photo is taken from website but gives accurate impression)

okay 50€ for 4 Hours which is a better deal as 40€ for 2 Hours ; ) but yeah very mixed crowd of people from children to very grumpy Germans… mixed saunas from 60 degrees to 95, steam room with free salt scrub swimming pool , outdoor pools I believe it can be magical when the snow is around but yeah nice experience … like I’ve always said it’s not the place it’s the crowd that make a place shine or not.

Unfortunately this place has aged and not worth the ridiculous prices they charge for entry, food and parking. My son cut his toe on a sun lounger but all the staff could offer was a non-waterproof plaster and no apology. €6 for just over 2 hours parking is the cherry on top - we will not return.

Edwin M — Google review
Meh. Went there with my partners family on a weekday and it was super crowded and loud. Parking was really hard and there was a long line at the entrance. The pools looked clean, gotta say that and they had a 3m and 5m tower. There also were outside pools. Entrance for a day was 29 euros and I do not recommend staying there for more than two hours, it gets boring quickly because it's not incredibly big. One hour swimming would be 14 euros (sauna included) plus 1 Euro per hour for parking and very expensive food. All in all if the weather sucks and you wanna go for a short swim with your kids it's fine. Be aware that it is overpriced and crowded and not crazily exciting. The Therme Erding is worth its price more than this one in my opinion

Kids had a blast, they remodeled the outside from last time we were there and it's nicer. Pools were warm and not crowded, friendly service. Validate parking ticket at front desk for discount

Ottobeuren Abbey

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
1 of 40 or so former self-ruling Imperial abbeys that used to make up the Holy Roman Empire.
What a gem! Both architectural and spiritual. Set in a peaceful town, you can explore freely and at your own pace everything this place has to offer. It’s overwhelming so get ready to take it all very slowly. Our only regret was not being able to hear the organ when we were there.
Michał N — Google review
By far one of the most stunning looking churches i ever visited. The sheer scale of the inside is breathtaking. A lot of the inside is gilded and catches your eyes. Would totally recommend a visit when youre in the area 👌🏻
UnknownTim — Google review
A trip to Ottobeuren Abbey isn't just a visit to a church—it's an experience. This insane beautiful church is a full-on masterpiece. The moment you step inside, you’re hit with a wave of awe that's hard to describe. The entire interior is a sensory feast. The paintings on the ceiling and walls are so vibrant, and the stories they tell through color and intricate detail are absolutely mesmerizing. Then there are the sculptures—each one feels alive, a testament to the incredible skill of the artists who created them. It’s like every surface, every corner, has a story to tell. This isn't just a place of worship; it's a "Gesamtkunstwerk," a total work of art, where painting, sculpture, and architecture merge into one breathtaking vision. If you're ever in the area, you have to see it for yourself. Pictures don’t do it justice.

Amazing place we absolutely loved it! Had a VIP room, nice and clean. The aqua mundo is absolutely amazing, The kids loved it and everything else was great- It’s very nice for kids to play in the kinder playground, pet the animals in the petting zoo. Had a wonderful week and definitely come back in the future.

Excellent experience. Patient and helpful staff. Diverse entertainment solutions. Great waterpark. Large cabins. Dinner Buffet could offer more selection of food (more meat/fish and desert options). Cabin may need proper cooling solution during hot summer days. Overall we strongly recommend.
Danny K — Google review
Stayed there for a family trip, we got 4 cabins next to each other easily. The cabins are great, lots of room and the kitchen is equipped, we did clean everything before we used them, but everything in the kitchen seemed clean. The pool park is so fun, we returned every day and even at night the place lights up. The games for the children and the other adventurers are great! Bike rental was so easy and they recommended many trails. However, we felt that the bedrooms were not so clean, we asked for new sheets as we got which was no problem and non charge, but if you open the window keep in mind that bugs will come in, I came back home with many stings.. also about the service in the water park, I felt like more supervision was needed, in some slides people were all over each other and it took out from the fun. All and all, I would recommend this for families, you can spend days in the park w/o the need to leave, but you should, because the area is lovely.
Oriya C — Google review
Great place for families. We were with two kids (4 years and 8 months). A lot of activities for kids, inside and outside. Great for taking a walk, riding a bike, there are a lot of playgrounds outside. When the weather is bad there is a lot of fun stuff to do inside also. Great indoor playground, bowling, mini golf etc. Some activities can have a long queue since a lot of them must be booked at the same place. The aqua mundo is very big and offers a lot of pools and slides for different ages. We had a difficulty finding a chair and place to sit, but you don't actually need it. We made a break only to eat and at that time we could find a table. Our cottage was clean and we liked it. The kitchen is nicely equipped, every meal can be made there if you want to safe some money. The restaurants are very basic, offering pizza, pasta, burgers, but we didn't need more. We will come again for sure.
Jelena G — Google review
The park is nice but seems that its facilities are not built for rhe amount of people they let in (we visited in September). The farm is small and all the animals were trying to hide from children trying to pet them. Same in Aqua Mundo - we had difficulty to find a chair. Our cabin was new and clean. The park is not so big so there is no need to rent a golf cart

Cleanliness is to be desired. When we arrived the bed linen was wet. That was replaced immediately. The cleaning issues that we encountered was said to us will be taken care of the following day. After the „cleaning“ the following day we found the property in exactly the same condition. The shower we did not use at all as you can see how it was in the picture. We actually showered after a day at the aqua mundo in the showers there. We could have enjoyed our week long stay a lot more if our home was clean. On the positive side, it’s a great place to be with kids. Lots of things to do, activities etc. We will give Center Parcs another chance.
Alexander K — Google review
The place is not flexible with families that comes for a vacation to enjoy. If you booked activity and there is extreme cold or you sick they won't late you make changes. Service people, not smiling or give you the feeling of being welcomed. I find myself working hard in the vacation rather the vacation works for me. The kids enjoyed the attractions, but i wouldn't recommend this place, there are better options for family vacations that makes you feel pleasant.
Rotem C — Google review
Here is an objective review of our stay (first time) in center parcs Allgäu. We’re a family and had a premium cottage. Cottage - basic, relatively clean and has everything you need for day to day living. It’s not luxury but it’s enough to enjoy your time. Parc - it has all amenities for kids, no mater the weather. Very good entertainment options with lots of activities available. The parc is relatively big, depending on where your cottage is located you might walk 20 minutes to the center where all activities are. To keep in mind. Food / restaurant - an absolute disgrace. No other words. Literally 0 healthy options. I think I haven’t seen a single vegetable in our plates during the whole trip. There are of course salads (1 or 2) in some restaurants but the quality is below par and has not nutrients, blunt and fade. It is one thing to offer fast food style in a kids oriented resort but another one to offer fast food style that isn’t even good and make you sick. I genuinely got sick due to the food. Food is 0 out of 5. To sum up: Centerparcs is similar to a low cost airline. Cottage prices are relatively reasonable (depending on when you book, the size, etc. of course) but then you pay extra for anything you do (except indoor playground and pools). This is fine but also to keep in mind. We would come again but better prepared for cooking in the cottage, which is a bit disappointing as your holidays are the time you don’t necessarily want to cook / clean the dishes but far better than eating junk food all day long.

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Amusement park
LEGOLAND Germany is a family-friendly amusement park featuring thrilling rides and an aquarium, as well as impressive replicas of German landmarks constructed from LEGO bricks. Visitors can opt to stay at the LEGOLAND Hotels within the Holiday Village, which offers access to various amenities including restaurants, playgrounds, and a high ropes course. The park also provides opportunities for guests to observe the LEGO manufacturing process and create their own LEGO bricks. Additionally, there are water rides that offer an adrenaline rush.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 We had an amazing time at LEGOLAND Germany! The whole family enjoyed it from start to finish. October was a perfect time to visit—great weather and fun Halloween decorations throughout the park added to the magic. There were rides for all ages, and the kids especially loved the playgrounds and interactive areas. One of the smartest features: dedicated play zones near some of the rides so kids can stay entertained while adults wait in line—brilliant! The park layout is very manageable—flat and easy to walk without feeling exhausting. Bathrooms were accessible and food prices weren’t too crazy for a theme park, which was a pleasant surprise. All around, a fun and memorable family day. We’ll definitely be back (got the annual pass)!
Adriel R — Google review
A very successful experience for children aged 4-12. A large place with lots of options that are very difficult to complete in one day due to the long lines for most of the facilities. You have to arrive with a lot of patience. Overall, this is a park where the attractions themselves are not crazy, but the "wrapping" of Lego does its job. The place is very neat and clean and easy to navigate. Overall, this is a recommended day out for the family.
Yonatan A — Google review
This is in my opinion the best of the 3 Legoland parks in Europe. Everything is good value here, especially the food and the quality of said food is fantastic. I went into the pizza restaurant and paid around €16 for a fresh out of the oven pizza and amazing chocolate tart. They both felt like they came from an expensive restaurant, very tasty and beautiful presentation. You have the best selection of rides here from small to thrilling. A really good variety - the best being Maximus. An absolutely thrilling b&m coaster which despite the short ride time, offers some incredible moments of weightlessness. The park is kept tidy and clean - the bathrooms are cleaned very regularly. Queues are managed well and have the bonus of single rider if you're a lone traveller like me. Saves a lot of time. Theres a few little themed shops dotted around and although a couple were closed on my trip due to the time of year possibly, there's still a lot on offer. More than any other Lego park in Europe like I said. I had the best 2 days here and I can't wait to come back again.

We took the kids to Germany and our first stop before traditional castles and museums was Legoland Germany! We LOVED it. Drove straight from airport to the hotel (we stayed at the Pirate Hotel), checked in, then did a full afternoon and evening till close. We ate at the steak restaurant near hotels and onsite for snacks, lunch, etc. We prepaid for breakfast at Pirate hotel. Because of birthdays, we did the birthday package (they decorated the room and more) and because tip mattered we did the VIP package. THIS was worth every penny! We skipped the line at every ride, got extra swag & mini figures, and store discounts [don’t forget to ask for tax refund forms at the store (typically 100 or more spent)]. The staff are awesome and most are bilingual if you are rusty. If you are a LEGO fan or traveling Germany with kids, this place is worth every penny! For the super fans, they had themes we found no where else (e.g. adventure series at the log ride); and rides that are not found at the US Legolands. Augsburg and Ulm are nearby if you need a culture/ museum break.

We spent lovely 2days here, great experience for us, adults and our kids. We had lovely weather, so a lot of people arrived, and some attractions were crowded, and we had to wait.

An absolute dream holiday location for my family and I. My son and daughter loved it, the rides were great, food was good and queues were decent. Staff were very friendly, parking wasn't an issue and having Peppa Pig Park right next door made it ideal for my 2 year old daughter too! It was also great fun for my wife and I. Unforgettable memories were made and we cannot wait to visit once again!
David C — Google review
If you or your kids like LEGO then you must visit, the place is huge and there are a lot of activities for all ages. To really cover it you need at least 2 days to get on most of the rides. The only downside is the large ques that form so you don't like to wait a lot then maybe pay more for the express pass. You can also get tickets online for both the park and the parking which I recommend to save some time.

Vintage caravans, motorhomes & cars line this contemporary mobile home museum, plus a restaurant.
What a fantastic place. First as we are in a Mobile Home we could stay on site overnight. We went into the museum when it opened at 10am, the gentleman on the counter spoke english and showed us how to download the app so we could check out all the displays in English. Once inside ‘wow’ amazing displays and set ups, showing the history of caravanning and motorhoming. So glad we made the effort to see this museum. For those with children there are also areas to keep children occupied and I can imagine for hours.

It's a nice place to visit, especially for those who love motorhomes. Unfortunately, the museum was very hot with a lack of ventilation, so we left earlier than we wanted. The restaurant was even warmer, so we didn't stay in. Also, there is no translation, so all the descriptions and information are for German speakers only. Shortly speaking, not international.

It is an amazing experience in a place where one can find a lot of information about the history of caravans and campers in Germany and even more. There you can see the newest Hymer camper that is very impressive. The exhibits are interesting and enchanting. You can get an iPod with explanations in English. I enjoyed every minute and we spent there more than two hours. Price is 11 euros per person but there are discounts and for journalists is free of charge. There are also very nice souvenirs at shop.

one of our wishlist checked! since my daughter born, we're becoming Steiff fans. Finally today we were there (saturday) around 13 o'clock. There are only few people there, so we can enjoy the tour and the museum itself, and also the kids can play in the kids area. its really nice..the tour was memorable..not only the kids also for adults..

Its colorful façade, covered in detailed paintings and decorations, really stands out and gives you a glimpse into the city’s rich past.

Almoust like a huge history book, these paintings, writings and coat of arms tell a lot about Ulm's past - if you have the time, join one of the guided tours.

Historic Sites
Hotel Schiefes Haus is a charming riverside retreat housed in a historical half-timbered building constructed back in 1402. The rustic rooms are cozy and romantic, while the staff is highly professional and courteous, ensuring guests have a delightful stay. The rooms and bathrooms are immaculately clean, with a complimentary breakfast buffet featuring freshly baked bread, buns, jams, honey, cold cuts of meat and cheese as well as eggs cooked to your preference and salmon.
This is a really cool historical hotel which translates to “leaning house”. And it is literally a leaning house with slightly tilted floors and walls, like walking into a museum. The staff here are incredibly hard working and attentive and do so much. This is a rare experience to see. Make sure you book with the hotel because booking sites really raise the price.
Tommy H — Google review
Hotel Schiefes Haus is a fascinating building dating back to 1406, known as the world’s most inclined hotel. Originally a fisherman’s house, its leaning structure is due to uneven settling over centuries. The rooms are cozy and uniquely slanted, but beds are kept level for comfort. Located in Ulm’s beautiful Fishermen’s Quarter, it offers a great mix of history and a central location. A charming stay with a little quirk!
Pankaj S — Google review
Hotel Schiefes Haus is one of Ulm’s most unique landmarks — a charming, crooked half-timbered building that looks straight out of a fairy tale. When I visited, it appeared to be closed, so I couldn’t go inside, but I still took time to marvel at its unusual construction and distinctive leaning design. Even from the outside, it’s fascinating to see how the structure tilts yet remains beautifully preserved. Located right in the heart of the old town, just a short walk from Ulm Minster and the train station, it’s a quirky and memorable sight that perfectly captures the character of Ulm.

The Hotel Schiefes Haus was absolutely amazing. The staff was so kind and helpful, the room and views were beautiful, and breakfast each morning was just what we needed to start our day of exploring Ulm. The Haus is so conveniently located to the heart of the city, but was also a quiet and calm place to relax at the end of the day. Ulm as a whole was so charming, and every time we come back in the future, we will definitely be staying at Schiefes Haus.

I spent a night in Ulm on my road trip back to Switzerland from Copenhagen and had chosen this unique hotel, that must be one of the most photographed in the world. Although the house in itself is far from horizontal, floors inside appear to be. Beware if you are really tall because it may be difficult to reach your bed through the low passages. Owner and staff are great and beds, shower and breakfast are up to the standards of the start rating. If you are lucky, you can enjoy a violin concert while sipping a beer in the shade on their veranda overlooking the little stream running parallel to the Danube river.

Schiefes Haus, or “The Crooked House,” is one of the main attractions in the city of Ulm, Germany. This unique hotel is famous for its tilted shape and long history. Built in 1406, the building originally served as a merchant’s house before being converted into a hotel.
IWA S — Google review
This place is special. The floors are angled crazily. Apparently it was in the Guinness book of records back in the 90s when it was renovated into a hotel. For the convenience of the location and its special unique character you do have to sacrifice a bit of comfort. We stayed in the room on the very top floor. It took 4 steep flights of stairs to get to our beds. The shower over the bath was a bit awkward. But for us it was well worth it. Beds were comfortable. The decor is a bit dated (90s chique all the way) but everything is in very good condition. Special mention of the excellent breakfast. The service was also fantastic. Thanks!

This was the second time I stayed here. It Is an absolute stunning, cosy and romantic place. But also the staff is fantastic. They are very polite and do everything possible to make ones stay as pleasant as possible. The room and bathroom was spotless clean. The breakfast buffet (included) was freshly prepared with a variety of bread and buns, jams, honey, cold meat, cheese, eggs to your liking, salmon. Can't ask for more. A stay is definitely value for money. Thank you Ms Wolf and team for all your efforts and hospitality. Merry Christmas .

Ulm Minster

Mentioned on 
+25 other lists 
Lutheran church
Sights & Landmarks
The Ulmer Münster is a Lutheran church built in Gothic style, located in the heart of Ulm City. It boasts the world's tallest steeple at 161.53 meters high and features an impressive carved choir. The church is considered a must-visit landmark in Germany, offering visitors a glimpse into the Middle Ages with its lovely Gothic architecture.
I visited the Ulm Minster on my birthday and it was such a special experience. The structure is absolutely breathtaking – you can’t help but be amazed by how tall and detailed it is. I found out it’s actually the tallest church in the world, with a spire reaching about 161 meters high! It took several centuries to complete, starting in the 14th century and finally finishing in the late 1800s. Walking around the cathedral, I was blown away by the gothic architecture and how well-preserved everything is. The inside is peaceful and beautiful, and just standing there made me feel so small in the best way. I didn’t climb the tower this time, but even from the outside, it’s super impressive. If you’re ever in Ulm, you must visit this place. It made my birthday truly memorable. Totally worth it! 😊

Every nice church. This church has the tallest tower in the world. You can pay 7 Euros and walk all the way to the top. Please ensure that you are semi fit....it is a long and winding staircase of over 750 steps. But the view is worth it. They are currently doing some restorations to the church so please bear with the noise.

Ulm Minster is breathtaking both inside and out. The Gothic architecture is incredibly detailed, and the interior is full of history — especially the 15th-century choir stalls with their intricate wood carvings. The highlight, of course, is climbing the tallest church spire in the world. It’s 768 steps up a narrow staircase, but the panoramic view over the city and, on clear days, even the Alps, makes it worth every step. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful and bright, with beautiful stained-glass windows and an impressive organ. The Münsterplatz around the church is also lively, with cafés and markets (the Christmas market here is fantastic). Be prepared: the tower climb is steep and not for everyone, but if you can manage it, it’s unforgettable. Overall, Ulm Minster is one of Germany’s greatest landmarks. Highly recommended!

Ulm Minster is an awe-inspiring masterpiece of Gothic architecture and holds the distinction of having the 2nd tallest church tower in the world. Standing at 161.53 meters. It's interior is very impressive and magnificent with stained glass window and majestic Hall.
Sarath P — Google review
Ulm Minster is an absolute must-see — not only for its record-breaking spire, but also for the sense of calm and beauty it offers. It’s very easy to reach, just a short and pleasant walk from Ulm’s main train station through the charming old town. When I visited, there was some ongoing renovation work, with padding and scaffolding around the front and upper sections, which did slightly spoil the full view of the façade. However, the minor distraction did not take away from the overall experience — once you step inside, the atmosphere completely changes. The city’s noise fades away, replaced by a deep sense of peace and stillness. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a quiet moment of reflection, Ulm Minster is a beautiful and easily accessible place to visit.
Girish V — Google review
The Ulm Minster is absolutely breathtaking and a must-see if you visit Ulm. Its towering spire — the tallest church tower in the world — dominates the skyline and offers incredible views if you climb to the top. The interior is just as impressive, with beautiful stained glass windows and a peaceful, majestic atmosphere. You can really feel the history and craftsmanship that went into every detail. Whether you’re interested in architecture, history, or just want a stunning view over the city, the Ulm Minster is unforgettable.

Located in the fishing district near the Danube, Schwörhaus is a captivating red and yellow baroque building from the 17th century. Today, it serves as the city museum. Every year, the elected mayor takes an oath here in front of residents. The building holds historical significance and houses an intriguing archive that tells the impressive story of Ulm. It's not only a great place to explore Ulm's history but also offers a glimpse into its oldest building.
Every year, the mayor comes out to promise to his people various stuff. I never believe his words and probably never will, because he is telling truth only 80% of the time, but the building still looks cool!

Great escape for the weekend. A water park with many pools, very warm temperatures. Highly recommended for couples and families.
Nizar J — Google review
I had a wonderful experience visiting this Therme. The layout of the facility is easy to navigate, with designated areas for both children and adults to enjoy. I particularly loved the hot jacuzzi located near the bar area. However, I found the sauna area to be a bit small and somewhat pricey. The entire place was impeccably clean, and privacy was well-maintained throughout. It would be great if they offered daily packages that include access to all areas, as some currently require additional payments. The wristband system and lockers were user-friendly. Additionally, I appreciated that they accept credit cards, which makes it more convenient to leave the facilities without having to carry extra items. I visited on a weekday and had the place almost entirely to myself.

The limes museum in Aalen is a great place to visit. You can look through the indoor exhibition on two floors which tells the story of the Romans in and around Aalen as wells as the development and fall of the limes. Besides original and replicat exponats there are lots of modern information displays and interactive visuals. Outdoors your can walk around the remains of the former Roman camp and take a look at a reconstructed barrack. The indoor part is open till 17:00 on most days and you are allowed to stay in the outdoor section even after closing time.

Absolutely recommendable visit. The museum offers a vivid and varied insight into Roman-Germanic history. I especially like the two thousand tin figures diorama. Impressive work. I wasn't aware until now how far south the Limes wall extended. With numerous and some extremely well conserved exponats and lots of illustrations and models the life of Roman soldiers is well documented. I especially like the focus on the various touching points where Roman and Germanic culture meet and somehow combine without giving up their own identities. The Roman eagle and the Germanic bear - a data collection of a precarious and cautious history full of wars, battles and countless skirmishes. But phases and local spots of a calmer and cautious coexistence were possible, too. It seems.

It was nice although the main museum was closed. Liked it! Roman outfits could be tried, was fun!!
Amruta J — Google review
Surprisingly fascinating. For Americans, the name is somewhat confusing. I thought it was going to be some sort of geology or cave or limestone exhibition. But "Limes" is a Latin word roughly meaning "limits." It seems Aalen was near the limits of the Roman empire and the Romans had built a wall just north of the city. The museum itself is built on site of an ancient Roman outpost and is filled with artifacts that have been found in the area. There are the remains of buildings partially unearthed on the grounds outside of the museum building. While you can travel to Rome and see better preserved evidence of the Roman empire, I learned more in this museum about the daily life of the Romans and their conquered lands than I had anywhere else. And if you are a thinking person, the "end" of the exhibit upstairs should give you pause and food for thought for quite some time to come. This is definitely worth a stop if you are live nearby or are simply driving anywhere near Aalen on your way to somewhere else.
Rand F — Google review
Very nice, modern and spacious museum about the Romans in the area of Aalen and the Limes in general. We were lucky because we happened to arrive at the right time on a Sunday afternoon where a free guided tour had just started (3 pm I think). The tour guide (in Roman outfit) was excellent and brought the exhibits to life for us with additional stories, facts and anecdotes. I can highly recommend this museum and tour. We didn't walk around the outside area much because we ran out of time and it was very hot but it looked very interesting. There is an area where children can try out clothes and helmets. We also found a small play area for young children (we were there with a 6 year old). I wasn't sure if this area was meant to be used or only as part of larger groups (it was a bit separate) but our daughter enjoyed playing there with the building blocks and setting up forts and castles. Unfortunately, the museum does not have a café area attached to it, so if you get hungry you need to go somewhere else. Perhaps it's too expensive for museums to run coffee places along the side. Maybe just a vending machine would do the trick. Thank you to the nice staff at this museum!

Helfenstein Castle The ruins of the 12th century Helfenstein Castle on the 'Valley Town of the Fifth' Geislingen an der Steige. It can be reached via a footpath of moderate difficulty (sturdy shoes recommended) or by car on Weilerstraße to the nearby car park. This provides space for about 20 vehicles and is free. You really have to enjoy the valley view. The ruins are beautiful and from the tower you have a good view of Geislingen. The hiking trails are well signposted and easy to follow. Perfect for a short family trip or the curious adventurer in between. There is a convenience store and enough picnic benches for a snack. Sufficient parking spaces are also available. And a very nice hike from Geislingen train station. Park at the train station, walk across the railway tracks and the climb will start at about 900 metres. It's a bit uphill, but the view at the top makes up for everything. In Burgschänke (which is always open when the flag is raised) we ate and drank something in nice weather. The department was more relaxed. Definitely go.

Esslingen am Neckar Castle is a historic site with a courtyard garden that offers sweeping views of Esslingen. The long flight of stairs on the city wall provides breathtaking views over the city and vineyards, especially when dusted in snow. The town itself is magical with cobblestone streets, gingerbread-style houses, and stunning vistas. Visitors can enjoy a cozy staircase leading to a good restaurant and a large free valley for relaxation.
The view over the city is stunning. If you prefer, there’s also a bus that can take you up, but climbing the steps makes the experience much more special. A great spot to explore, relax, and take beautiful photo..☺️

Lovely old castle and worth a visit for the views alone! Google maps sends you the ' stairs ' way! This is a steep climb up about 300 stairs?

There's a restaurant up there too but I'm guessing you might need to book?

Stadtkirche St. Dionys is a stunning example of High Gothic architecture, with its spires reaching towards the sky and commanding the city skyline. The church holds centuries of history within its walls, having been built over older churches from as far back as the 8th century. Visitors can admire the two towers linked by a footbridge and explore the beautifully decorated interior.

David A — Google review
This is nice church located on the south side of Marktplatz that I enjoyed seeing during a recent visit to Esslingen. Historically, it seems there have been church buildings at this site since the 8th century. However, what you see today is a Romanesque and Gothic building constructed between 1220-1315. The exterior is architecturally attractive, highlighted by twin towers with a connecting bridge. The interior is modest with a centre nave and side aisles. The choir, rod screen, main altarpiece and stained glass windows are quite decorative and nice to see. There is an impressive organ in back as well.
Brad — Google review
Stadtkirche St. Dionys was founded in the 8th century, with the current structure built in the 13th century primarily in the Gothic style. Its asymmetric twin towers are connected by a bridge, added to stabilize the leaning southern tower. The interior is austere, with rib‑vaulted ceilings and octagonal sandstone piers featuring richly carved capitals depicting figures such as dragons and Adam and Eve. Furnishings include a late Gothic choir screen (lettner) from 1486, a 1604 altarpiece by Peter Riedlinger, a 1609 Renaissance pulpit, and one of Württemberg’s largest organs, from the Late Baroque.

Виктория З — Google review
We actually visited Stadtkirche St. Dionys twice — that’s how much this place pulls you in. The first time was a Sunday morning, and the doors were open but a mass was in session, so we just stood quietly near the entrance. The sound of the choir and the organ filled the space, echoing through the ancient stone arches — it gave us chills. It felt reverent, intimate, and deeply rooted in the rhythm of local life. When we came back later that afternoon, the church was empty, and that’s when you really start to see its character. Inside, St. Dionys is breathtaking — tall Gothic columns rising like a forest of stone, stained-glass windows glowing in shades of deep red, blue, and gold, and shafts of sunlight cutting across the pews. The whole place feels serene but not cold — there’s warmth in the worn wooden benches, in the faint scent of candle wax, and in the quiet footsteps that seem to echo softly no matter where you walk. Look up, and the ceiling is a masterpiece — intricate ribbed vaulting that draws your eye toward the altar. The altar area itself is simple yet elegant, framed by soaring arches and illuminated by colored light filtering through the glass. There’s also a beautiful crypt below, where you can sense the age of the structure — parts of the foundation date back nearly a thousand years.

Easiest thing is to leave the car in one of the many underground parkings (1h = 1.50€) The two main gothic/medieval churches are beautiful, the old town and the main square are equally pretty with the typical traditional houses/buildings loads of places to eat and drink and the sunset views from the castle are stunning.

Christoffer S — Google review
If there’s one place that captures the soul of Esslingen, it’s the Marktplatz — a broad, picture-perfect square framed by half-timbered houses, each one looking like it belongs on the cover of a fairytale book. The colors, the angles, the rooftops — everything here feels timeless. On a Sunday, though, the vibe completely changes. The usually buzzing square slows down into something beautifully calm and reflective. Most of the shops are closed, and you can finally hear the fountain trickling and the bells from the nearby Frauenkirche echoing through the air. Locals stroll quietly, couples sit on benches with coffee to-go, and the café terraces — the few that open on Sundays — become little pockets of lazy contentment. Without the weekday rush, you start noticing the details — the ornate carvings on the old guild houses, the contrast between pastel facades and the red roofs, and the way the square gently slopes toward the church. If you stand in the middle and spin slowly, you’ll see centuries of history in one 360° view — it’s that kind of place. And when the sun’s out, the light hits the buildings just right, creating this warm, honey-colored glow that’s pure cinematic gold. Photographers love it, and honestly, it’s hard to take a bad shot here.

Grave chapel on the Wuerttemberg

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Located on Württemberg hill, the Sepulchral Chapel is a stunning mausoleum built by King William I in memory of his beloved wife, Queen Catherine. The Neoclassical-style structure offers breathtaking views of Stuttgart and the Neckar valley. It was constructed between 1820 and 1824 and features a domed rotunda inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. The inscription "Love never dies" above the entrance adds to its romantic allure.
My favourite place in Stuttgart, been here 2 times. Will visit every time I visit Germany. Beautiful. 1 hour journey from hbf needs to walk like 12 mins or so. On day time you do have a restaurant and a wine place at night time you have peace. Both are good. Do go in different times and different seasons to see different beauties. The view of Stuttgart is also measuring.

A hidden gem in Stuttgart! The Grave Chapel on Württemberg Hill offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the Neckar wine valley, Stuttgart cityscape, and lush green surroundings. The peaceful atmosphere and panoramic scenery make it an ideal spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike. Parking can be a bit tricky, especially on weekends — be ready for a short uphill walk. I’d definitely recommend carrying some food and drinks, find a quiet spot, and just soak in the views. Other visitors rightly mention how calm and spiritual the chapel feels, especially during sunset. Some even describe it as Stuttgart’s “mini Tuscany” because of the vineyards all around. Definitely worth the hike! Perfect for a half-day outing with family, friends, or solo time. 🌿🍇📸

built as a memorial for the sudden death of the young princess as a love last gift from Kaiser. the surrounding is amazing with grape field and old houses. you can see Stuttgart till the Tv tower. the entrance is cheap and you can see the chapel which looks like the Roman Pantheon.

I went there with some colleagues after work. It was an amazing place to go. I think I do have like a wine tour or something like that somewhere nearby but I’m not 100% sure. I saw some people drinking at the top and they were part of a wine tour.

Simple, silent and lovely place. You can relax and at the same time get impressed by work performed by a great artist. Overall, great scenic view of Stuttgart

Best place to see Sunset and cityscape from top. There are lots of sitting places surrounding the area. You will also find a coffee shop close to top. The area is open to the public. Only the chapel has an entrance ticket. Good spot to have a drink or some snacks or food with friends and family. You can bring your own food and drinks. You can also enjoy the night lights of the city of Stuttgart.
