Saint James the Greater, the first apostle, suffered martyrdom in Jerusalem in 44 AD. Two pilgrimage routes lead through Oettingen: on the one hand the Jakobsweg Nuremberg - Lake Constance - Einsiedeln and on the other the Augsburger Jakobsweg.

The Residenzschloss was built between 1679 and 1687 by master builder Mathias Weiß. Although the facade was created during the High Baroque period, it contains elements of the Italian Renaissance.

The area around the Wörnitz is really super beautiful. You can't cycle directly along the Wörnitz - :-) "rarely" probably describes it even better, but the river winds its way very naturally through the landscape.
