Weiler-Simmerberg: Hiking, Culture and Outdoor Swimming Pool
Accommodation in Weiler-Simmerberg
Weiler-Simmerberg combines marked hiking trails with cultural and leisure activities, offering options for a varied holiday. More than 100 kilometres of marked hiking trails, the Kornhaus Museum, the Aktienbrauerei Simmerberg brewery and the outdoor swimming pool in Weiler im Allgäu provide specific points of interest during your stay. Outdoors, there is everything from the cool respite of a summer gorge to a glacial erratic boulder; at the museum, you can explore the working lives of farmers and craftspeople, as well as exhibitions by local artists. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider whether you want your days to focus mainly on outdoor activities, local history or a mix of both.

Hiking among gorges, ravines and erratic boulders
Weiler-Simmerberg offers more than 100 kilometres of marked hiking trails. The network gives hiking a clear place in your holiday plans. If you want to spend several days outdoors, check the current trail conditions with the local office before setting out.
The Ellhofer Tobel is a hiking area and, like the Hausbachklamm gorge, offers a particularly refreshing escape in summer. Another named hiking destination is the Erratic Block, one of Europe’s largest glacial erratic boulders. It adds a geological point of interest alongside the scenic impressions of the gorge and ravine. At Enschenstein, local history takes centre stage: it is considered a refuge fort that was used by the Romans during the Alemannic incursions. Hikes here bring nature and history together.
Local history at the Kornhaus and in Simmerberg
Since 1981, the Kornhaus Museum has housed a collection of tools used by farmers and craftspeople on its ground floor. Various exhibitions by local artists are held upstairs. The two areas offer different perspectives: the ground floor focuses on farming and crafts, while the upper floor showcases art from the region. This gives you a cultural stop to enjoy alongside outdoor activities, without having to devote your entire stay to a single theme.
The Aktienbrauerei Simmerberg brewery is also part of the area’s history: it was established in 1706. Groups can book a tour on request. If you plan to visit, check directly with the brewery to confirm whether a booking is possible.
Water and play areas at the outdoor swimming pool
The outdoor swimming pool in Weiler im Allgäu features a water spray park with a covered water play area, as well as a large sand play area with a pirate ship and a basket swing. There are also table tennis, a beach volleyball court, a slackline, a barefoot path and an insect discovery trail. The facilities combine water play with opportunities for activity and exploration; when planning your day, consider which of these options might interest your group. As facilities may change, check the current operating information before your visit.
