Cultural History at Two Sites
The Catholic parish church of St. Stephan in Untermeitingen was first mentioned in a document in 1158. The Ulrich Chapel on Totenhügel was dedicated by Pastor Brenner on July 8, 1934. The dates point to different historical milestones: for St. Stephan, it is the first documented mention; for the chapel, its dedication. If you include local history in your travel plans, you can use these two sites as a starting point for exploring different moments in the past.
Cycling on the Lechfeld
The “In Roman Footsteps” cycle route, focused on cultural history, runs across the Lechfeld from Graben via Untermeitingen to Klosterlechfeld. The places named provide a clear guide to the route. If you would like to combine cycling and cultural history, the route offers a specific starting point for planning your vacation.
More Routes and Nature Experiences in the Wider Augsburg Destination
The wider Augsburg destination offers additional, distinct options for excursions. The Bonstetten LandArt art trail is a 5.65-kilometer circular hiking route; along the trail, artist Hama Lohrmann personally explains his sculptures. The three-kilometer meditation trail leads from Oberschönenfeld Abbey, a Cistercian convent, to Weiherhof along the edge of the Schwarzachtal forest. The routes differ in both focus and length: one combines LandArt and sculptures with a circular hike, while the other is dedicated to meditation. The district of Augsburg has a well-developed network of cycle paths. Stauden, Holzwinkel and Reischenau are part of the Augsburg — Western Forests Nature Park; Westwood Alpacas offers regular alpaca walks and excursions through the nature park. For active vacation days, you can consider themed hikes, cycling and regular alpaca excursions as different options.
