Discover Bad Waldsee
Accommodation in Bad Waldsee
Bad Waldsee offers a variety of ways to plan your stay: City Lake, with its lakeside path and regatta; the historic town center; and the Erwin Hymer Museum. The seasonal beach and outdoor swimming pool adds to the attractions by the water. If you are looking for a hotel in Bad Waldsee, you can first decide whether walks, an exhibition, or swimming should be the focus of your trip.
City Lake and the historic town center
The historic town center lies between City Lake and Castle Lake. A continuous lakeside path, established in 1952, runs around City Lake and adds to the enjoyment of walks through Bad Waldsee. A rowing regatta is held on City Lake every year. These offer two different ways to plan your visit: the lakeside path provides a route for a walk, while the regatta requires checking the event date. Check the date if you would like to include the regatta in your trip.
Mobile travel at the Erwin Hymer Museum
The Erwin Hymer Museum invites visitors on a journey of discovery through the history, present, and future of mobile travel. Across around 10,000 square meters, the museum presents a collection of more than 80 motorhomes, caravans, cars, and trailers from past decades. Those interested in mobile forms of travel will find a dedicated focus here, alongside walks by the lake and through the town.
Beach and outdoor swimming pool
The beach and outdoor swimming pool offers spacious sunbathing lawns with mature trees, modern swimming pools, a 90-meter water slide, and direct access to the natural lake. The pool operates seasonally. Check the current opening hours and whether the slide is operating before your visit.
Cultural and landscape highlights in the wider Ravensburg destination
The wider Ravensburg destination offers additional cultural and landscape highlights. The Humpis Quarter Museum in Ravensburg 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 offered for school classes, children, and adults. Check the current booking details before making specific plans.
The Allgäu-Oberschwaben Wolfegg Farmhouse Museum shows how the region’s ancestors once worked, lived, and went about their daily lives. Twenty-eight historic buildings have been preserved, some of them several centuries old. The museum is easy to reach via numerous cycling and hiking trails. The two museums focus on different aspects of history: the late medieval residential quarter and life in the region in earlier times.
Achberg Castle is the Ravensburg district’s cultural center. It stands high above the Argental valley and showcases Baroque architecture. Achberg Castle is open to all visitors and offers educational activities for children. The circular hiking trails starting from Achberg Castle pass through gently rolling meadows on the high riverbank and steep slopes with ravines along the sides of the Argental valley.
The Schmalegger Tobel nature reserve in Schmalegg, a district of Ravensburg, lies about 8 km from the center of Ravensburg and offers several hiking routes. You can walk the Tannsberg circular trail as either a short or a long loop, depending on your needs. The Pfrunger-Burgweiler Ried covers almost 2,600 hectares and is the second-largest contiguous peatland area in southwestern Germany.
