Renting a holiday apartment in Langenau is a good choice for a trip that combines nature, local history and cycling tours. Langenau is a town in Baden-Württemberg in the Alb-Donau district, around 14 km northeast of Ulm. On the edge of the Swabian Jura, Langenau combines the convenience of a small town with nature and leisure opportunities.

Nature around the Nau and the Ried

The Nau rises in Langenau, and wetlands are among the defining natural features of the area. The natural landscape also includes the Langenauer Ried, the Ägenberg-Ofenloch nature reserve and the Fohlenloch protected forest. You should consider these areas as individual nature destinations when planning your trip, as not all of these landscapes are located in the built-up town centre. If protected wetlands, a spring landscape and nature observation are to have a firm place in your stay, Langenau is therefore a reasonable choice for your travel plans.

Local history museum and local traditions

The Langenau Local History Museum offers insights into life, housing and work in the 18th and 19th centuries. The town's traditions also include local festivals such as the Turmfest and the Achhocketse; the Achhocketse commemorates the historic practice of travelling by trough. For a trip with a variety of interests, this makes it possible to combine a cultural day programme with Langenau's natural attractions.
