Oberuhldingen: Chapel, Market and Circular Walk

Oberuhldingen offers several distinct reasons to stay: St. Wolfgang’s Chapel is a landmark in the town center, the weekly market takes place every Thursday, and a circular walk passes through the town on its return route. When choosing a holiday apartment, the mix of activities you want each day may be the deciding factor: would you like to focus on local history, or also include walks and other experiences in the wider destination of Uhldingen-Mühlhofen? This lets you choose a location that suits your travel interests.

The Chapel and History in the Town Center

Dedicated to Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg, St. Wolfgang’s Chapel is a historic landmark dating from the 16th century. It is a prominent feature of Oberuhldingen’s town center and is one of the municipality’s few listed buildings. Its dedication and date of construction give the building a specific historical context. Oberuhldingen’s former affiliation is also clearly defined in time: until 1803, the town belonged to Salem Abbey. The chapel and its connection to the abbey offer two distinct ways to explore the past—through a building and through the town’s historical affiliation.

Weekly Market and Train Travel

The weekly market takes place every Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the market square in the Oberuhldingen district. This gives you a regular morning event to plan around. The schedule may change on public holidays, so please check the current date. Uhldingen-Mühlhofen railway station is located in Oberuhldingen. If you plan to arrive by train, check the latest connections and journey times, as train services and timetables may change.

A Circular Walk Between the Lake, a Church and the Woods

A circular walk starts in Nußdorf, follows Lake Constance to the Baroque pilgrimage church of Birnau, and continues through the Seefelder Aach Nature Reserve to the UnteruhldingenPalaft Museum. On the return route, it passes through Oberuhldingen and the Mauracher Forest before returning to Nußdorf. The sequence of a church, nature reserve, museum and forest connects a variety of stops, with Oberuhldingen as one section of the return route. Check local trail conditions before setting out, as they may change.
