Playgrounds and time outdoors

In front of the Birkenfeldhalle in Brennofen there are a playground, a football pitch and a long-jump pit. There is also a playground in the “Mittelsteig” residential development in the Obstgärten area. At the Brennofen location, the football pitch and long-jump pit complement the playground; the playground in the Obstgärten area is in the “Mittelsteig” residential development.

Another option for spending time outdoors is the barbecue area on the “Halde” in Setzingen. It is intended for barbecuing in nature. The playgrounds and barbecue area offer different things: the two playground locations provide opportunities for exercise, while the barbecue area is for enjoying a barbecue together outdoors. These leisure spots offer a local point of reference when choosing a holiday apartment; cultural and hiking themes belong to the wider Alb-Donau-Kreis destination.

Culture and trails in the wider Alb-Donau-Kreis destination

At the wider regional level, the Alb-Donau-Kreis offers further attractions for travellers interested in culture. The Hohle Fels near Schelklingen is a UNESCO World Heritage cave and the site where the “Venus of Hohle Fels” and the “Geierknochenflöte” (Vulture-bone flute) were found. Both finds are about 42,500 years old. The Stone Age village of Ehrenstein in Blaustein tells a different story: it is a Neolithic settlement in the Blau Valley and is part of the transnational and serial UNESCO World Heritage Site “Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps.”

Monastic complexes also reflect different historical connections within the Alb-Donau-Kreis. The former Premonstratensian abbey of Obermarchtal is located in the district. The Obermarchtal Monastery complex rises directly above the Danube; it acquired its present form between 1686 and 1795. Blaubeuren Monastery was founded as a Benedictine monastery in 1085. Today, it consists mainly of Gothic-style buildings dating from 1466 to 1510. These places differ in their history and architecture and offer various points of interest for those who consider culture important when choosing a destination.

Hiking and cycling tours to suit your time and interests

For hiking, the Alb-Donau-Kreis lists three options with different focuses. The 20 “Eiszeitpfade” circular routes are 6 to 14 kilometres long and are suitable for day hikes. The family-friendly “Eiszeitspuren” range from 1 to 6 kilometres. For multi-day tours, there is the Besinnungsweg. The route lengths and types of tour make it easier to choose between a day hike, a shorter family-friendly route and a multi-day trip.

The themed cycling routes also differ in length and character: the “Eiszeittäler” tour is 75 kilometres long, and the “Berg Bier-Tour” is 115 kilometres. The “Albtäler” cycle route covers 186 kilometres and has a four-star rating. These regional options complement the leisure spots in Setzingen and should therefore be considered a separate part of your travel interests in the Alb-Donau-Kreis.
