Discover Kippenhausen: Culture, Church and Trails

Kippenhausen combines a vivid local history with trails through forests, fruit-growing areas and the landscape around Lake Constance. Those who want not only to be out and about on holiday but also get to know the region’s culture will find various opportunities here for eventful and more relaxing days. When searching for a holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether you would like to focus on history, ecclesiastical architecture or shared activities in the countryside.

Local History at Haus Montfort

A special gateway to the past is the Haus Montfort local history museum. It displays an old kitchen and living-room interior, the inventory of an ironmongery shop, and exhibits on crafts and customs. The selection reveals different aspects of everyday life in earlier times: living, working and traditional crafts are presented side by side. For families, this is an opportunity to discover history not only through dates but also through tangible objects and familiar areas of life.

The museum is housed in a half-timbered building dating from 1796. The building itself is therefore part of the historic character of the visit. Those interested in regional architecture and the development of village communities can plan a visit to the museum as the cultural focus of their holiday day. Accommodation in Kippenhausen is particularly well suited to your travel plans if you would like to combine these insights with further discoveries in the village.

Church and Historical Traces

In Kippenhausen, St. Mary’s Assumption Church is located in the old cemetery. The present building was remodelled in 1710 with the help of the Weingarten and Ochsenhausen monasteries. There is also a Lourdes grotto east of the church tower. Together, the church, cemetery and grotto form a place where religious history and the village’s developed surroundings can be observed.

Those interested in sacred architecture, local history or special places away from major attractions can experience the church, old cemetery and Lourdes grotto as historical traces within Kippenhausen’s townscape.

Exploring Trails Through Forests and Countryside

The Immenstaad Igel Trail leads through quiet forests from Kippenhausen via Reute to Frenkenbach. This opens up another side of the stay: instead of individual cultural destinations, the focus is on the landscape, activity and changing connections between the villages. The starting point is at Restaurant Montfort in Kippenhausen, Montfortstraße 13. This precise information makes it easier to plan the outing independently.

A 7 km circular route runs exclusively along paved paths, beside Lake Constance and through the apple-growing areas around Immenstaad. It also reaches Kippenhausen and is considered particularly suitable for prams and wheelchairs. This makes it possible to choose between a forest trail and a paved circular route with sections along the lake and through fruit-growing areas when planning your day. Which option is more suitable depends on whether you prefer quiet forest sections or a clearly described circular route.

The Right Base for Your Stay

When searching for accommodation in Kippenhausen, you can choose between a culturally focused stay and days spent following the routes described above. The key question is whether you would like to put historical traces or activity in the countryside at the forefront.
