Argenbühl offers different ways to spend your holiday, depending on the season and the activities you enjoy.

Cycling and hiking routes in the Argental Valley
The Argenwege cycling loop is 41.29 km long, takes about three hours and is of moderate difficulty. It follows the Untere Argen river and offers views of the Adelegg hills and the Alps. The Argental circular trail no. 7 is an easy 7.28 km walk; the stated duration is two hours. It follows the Untere Argen through Ratzenried, with its historic castle, and over the historic Neumühle wooden bridge. This lets you compare the moderate cycling tour of around three hours with the easy, two-hour hike, and choose according to your available time and preferred way of getting around. Check the latest route details before setting out, as the operator may update the figures.
Seasons and getting around
There is a bus stop at the village square, served by route 7542 between Wangen and Isny. If you plan to travel by bus, check the current timetable before your journey. When choosing a holiday apartment in Argenbühl, it helps to decide which season is your priority: cross-country skiing depends on the annual grooming, while Moorbad is a summer attraction. The cycling and hiking routes also offer different kinds of day out.
Culture and nature in the wider Ravensburg destination
The wider Ravensburg destination offers additional, distinct cultural and nature experiences. The Humpis Quarter Museum opened in July 2009; its permanent exhibition spans five buildings in a late-medieval residential quarter. Regular public tours and tours that can be booked individually are available for school groups, children and adults. Check the latest booking details when planning your visit.
The Allgäu-Oberschwaben Farmhouse Museum in Wolfegg offers a vivid look at how people in the region used to work, live and make their homes. It has 28 historic buildings, some several centuries old. Achberg Castle is the Ravensburg district’s cultural centre, situated high above the Argental Valley, and showcases Baroque architecture. It is open to all visitors and offers educational activities for children. The Ravensburg Art Museum opened in 2013 and is the world’s first certified museum built to passive house standards.
The Schmalegger Tobel nature reserve, in the Ravensburg locality of Schmalegg, also has several hiking routes; it is about 8 km from Ravensburg city centre. The Tannsberg circular trail can be walked as either a shorter or longer loop. The wider Ravensburg destination therefore offers a range of cultural and scenic experiences to choose from.
