Fasnacht and art in Nenzingen and Orsingen
The Fasnacht Museum at Langenstein Castle displays 200 life-size Swabian-Alemannic carnival figures and around 300 masks from around the world. There is also a digital exhibition experience for all ages. The combination of traditional figures and digital experiences makes for a distinctive museum visit, including for travellers interested in different forms of Fasnacht. Check the museum’s current visitor information before planning your visit.
The figures of Saint Roch and Saint Wendelin in St. Ulrich Parish Church in Nenzingen are attributed to the workshop of Baroque sculptor Josef Anton Feuchtmayer. This artistic attribution gives visitors interested in culture a specific point of reference when viewing the figures. St. Peter and Paul Church is also a local place to visit. The area therefore offers a choice of cultural themes to explore, from Fasnacht traditions to Baroque sculpture.
Circular trail, viewpoint and outdoor swimming pool
The Herpele panoramic trail is around 2.3 kilometres long and starts at the village square in Nenzingen. As a circular route, it is a manageable walk whose length is easy to fit into your day’s plans. There are places to sit and relax at the Herpele viewpoint. The trail therefore combines exercise with a break at the viewpoint; its approximate length can help you weigh up the outing alongside other plans for the day. Check local conditions before setting off.
For some time in the water, there is the heated outdoor swimming pool at the Orsingen Camping & Holiday Park. It is open to everyone and has a children’s pool, a non-swimmer area, a swimmer area and a water slide. The museum, circular trail and outdoor pool offer different experiences: the museum invites you to explore its exhibits, the panoramic trail focuses on being outdoors, and the pool offers different areas for swimming. Check the pool’s current availability before you arrive.

If you’d like to include a longer hike in your holiday plans, the wider Konstanz travel destination offers the well-signposted SeeGang premium hiking trail.

The RadgenussRouten cycle routes on the western shores of Lake Constance pass through the most beautiful landscapes in the district of Konstanz and combine nature, culture and local highlights.
