Illmensee: Water, Play and Trails
Accommodation in Illmensee
Water and play at the lido
The Illmensee lido is in the town centre and makes the town appealing to travellers who want to include water, play and exercise in their holiday. The lido has swimming and non-swimming areas, a boat rental service, mini golf, a beach volleyball court, extensive sunbathing lawns and a large adventure playground with water and sand play. This means bathing areas sit alongside activities on land and water, while the playground, sports court and sunbathing lawns each offer something different.
This range gives families several options: the large adventure playground combines water and sand play, while mini golf and beach volleyball offer other specific activities. Those who want to swim can choose between swimming and non-swimming areas. The extensive sunbathing lawns complement the more active offerings with another way to spend time at the lido. This lets you tailor your visit to the interests of your fellow travellers rather than limiting it to swimming.
Circular trails and glacial traces
The circular hiking trail around Illmensee runs right along the lake. If you are looking for a walk with a connection to the water, this is one specific option. The “Uferrunde” glacial trail is approximately 4.5 km long. Its approximate length can help you choose a route and plan your day.
Another route idea is to combine two named trails: the “Kantenlauf” and “DerHöchste” glacial trails can be combined into a premium hiking trail. This combination is different from the separate “Uferrunde”, a named route approximately 4.5 km long. When planning your holiday, you can consider whether to choose one route or explore both glacial trails together.
More activities around Illmensee
A newly built boules court has been located in front of the Drei-Seen-Halle since 2021. This adds another leisure activity to the lido’s facilities and the hiking routes. The court is another option if you would like to consider boules alongside experiences on the water and hiking.
There is also a specific option for fishing on Illmensee: you can rent rowboats for fishing from a boat rental service. This lets you combine fishing with an activity on the water. The municipality also offers the Schwäbisch-Alemannische Mundartenweg mit Prominentenpfad, a 1 km route. Its full name and length give you another way to choose a route that suits your interests.
When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home in Illmensee, you can start by asking yourself which experiences you want to define your stay. That way, you can choose Illmensee based on the activities that really matter most to your trip.
