Fronreute: Moorland, Lakes and Pile-Dwelling Heritage
Accommodation in Fronreute
Fronreute lies in the heart of the Blitzenreuter Seenplatte, a landscape shaped by ponds and lakes. Moorland, water and individual sites of cultural and historical interest give your stay a range of different highlights. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment in Fronreute, you can plan your days around a particular interest: observing nature, following a footpath through the moor or exploring regional history.
Lakes, Moorland and a View over Schreckensee Lake
At Schreckensee Lake, views of the water go hand in hand with a special historical connection. An observation shelter with viewing slits offers a wide view of the water. The peninsula on Schreckensee has been part of the serial UNESCO World Heritage Site “Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps” since 2011.
The moorland restored as part of the EU LIFE project is intended to develop into an intact raised bog. At the same time, it provides a habitat for many plant and animal species, including some that are very rare. The historic Blitzenreuter Kirchweg is a footpath through the moor that has been made accessible with a boardwalk and is considered an attraction for visitors seeking recreation.
A Local Place of Culture and Prayer
The Marienkapelle Reute-Fronhofen is a site of cultural and historical interest. It is a destination for excursions and a place of prayer for the residents of Fronhofen. The chapel contains a sandstone grotto, believed to date from around 1900.
Culture in the wider Ravensburg destination
In the wider Ravensburg destination, the Humpis-Quartier Museum offers its own historical highlights. It opened in July 2009, and 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. If you’d like to include a tour in your plans, check the current dates and booking details in advance.
Achberg Castle is also part of the wider Ravensburg destination and offers a different perspective on cultural history: it is the cultural centre of Ravensburg district, stands high above the Argental valley and showcases Baroque architecture. Achberg Castle is open to all visitors and offers educational activities for children. Circular hiking trails from the castle lead through gently rolling meadows on the high riverbank and over steep slopes with ravines on the valley side of the Argental.
The Allgäu-Oberschwaben Wolfegg Farmhouse Museum adds another perspective: life in the region in the past. It illustrates how previous generations in the region once worked, lived and made their homes. The museum preserves 28 historic buildings, some of them several centuries old. Thus, the wider Ravensburg destination focuses not only on the late-medieval residential quarter but also on the everyday history of earlier generations.
The Right Mix for Your Stay
The wider Ravensburg destination broadens the cultural perspective with a museum, a castle and a farmhouse museum. So when choosing a holiday apartment in Fronreute, consider whether you want to focus on the landscape or also include the cultural and historical themes mentioned here in your plans.
