Schimmelturm, Lauingen

Highlight • Monument

With its 54 meters it cannot be overlooked. Whoever wants to go up pays an entrance fee of two euros. The door is locked. You can get the key in the town hall or in the Hotel Lodner. Here you also pay the entrance fee. From above you have a great view of the region.

A beautiful spot for a picture of Lauingen. There are always ducks and geese here, and in spring they even have babies.

Danube Cyclist Rest Stop

Highlight • Restaurant

Cyclists from all over the world meet at the Donau Radler petrol station. What began with five beer table sets and a snack car has now become a sizeable place with huts and around 100 seats directly on the Danube bridge. In the summer at over 30 degrees it seems almost like a little paradise, if you get a cool apple spritzer here. But even on cooler, rainy days, the Radler petrol station, which is open from April to October, is the right address. Then you get a warm soup or a hot coffee.

Tip: Here you will find repair tools, tools, bicycle hoses, air and electricity for e-bikes. And in an emergency, operators Liane and Herbert Schwegler have a tip where to find the nearest bike shop in the area.

Lauingen (Danube): Schimmelturm

Highlight • Monument

The Schimmelturm (Mold Tower) was built between 1457 and 1478. Commissioned by Councilor Georg Imhof, the tower was intended to serve as a watchtower, providing a better overview of the surrounding countryside, while also representing the civic pride of Lauingen. The tower, freestanding on two sides, has nine square and two octagonal stories and a three-story lantern topped with a Welsche (Italianate) dome. It stands approximately 54 meters tall. Roman ashlar blocks from the Faimingen fort were used in the construction of the foundations and the ground floor.

September 2, 2023,🍻 Kurze Abendrunde zum Drei König Biergarten Lauingen

Have a quick beer in the garden after work?

Then why not take a quick trip to Lauingen to the Drei König beer garden - take advantage of the summer evening temperatures. Unfortunately, it could soon be over. On the way there we went over the Helmeringen estate. The way home led along the Danube cycle path.

Today I cycled along the Mindel, unfortunately the cycle path here is still quite dilapidated due to the flood damage. From Mindeleck I cycled on towards Lauingen. I went along the Danube to Gundelfingen. There I made a little detour to the Schnellepark for Kneipp therapy and to the Brenz, before heading back home over the Danube bridge in Offingen. …
