Weiler-Simmerberg: Hiking, Museums and Brewing History

Weiler-Simmerberg combines a signposted network of trails with cultural and leisure activities. When choosing a hotel, a simple question may help you decide: Would you like to spend your stay mainly hiking, learning about local history, or making time for the outdoor pool? The various activities can be grouped according to these interests and offer different points of reference for planning your trip.

Hiking Trails and Landscape

The trail network in Weiler-Simmerberg includes more than 100 kilometers of signposted hiking trails. When planning your hikes, check current trail conditions with the municipality. Ellhofer Tobel is a hiking area and, like Hausbachklamm, offers a cool retreat, especially in summer. This cooling effect is a specific seasonal consideration when choosing between the two hiking areas mentioned. A tour starts in Simmerberg.

Other hiking destinations offer different highlights: Erratic Block is one of Europe's largest glacial erratics. Enschenstein is considered a refuge fortress that was already used by the Romans during the Alemannic invasions. In addition to the landscape, hikes can therefore focus on a geological feature or a historical interpretation.

Museum and Brewing History

Since 1981, the ground floor of the Kornhaus Museum in Weiler im Allgäu has housed a collection of tools used by farmers and craftspeople. Various exhibitions by local artists are held on the upper floor. The two floors thus combine an insight into agricultural and craft work with an artistic focus.

The Aktienbrauerei Simmerberg is also part of the area's history; it was established in 1706. Groups can book a tour on request. Unlike a museum visit, a brewery tour therefore requires a group inquiry. If you would like to include one in your plans, check booking availability directly with the brewery.

Leisure at the Outdoor Pool

The outdoor pool in Weiler im Allgäu has a water spray park with a covered water play area, as well as a large sand play area with a pirate ship and a nest swing. Other facilities include table tennis, a beach volleyball court, a slackline, a barefoot path and an insect trail. The options range from water and sand play to sports and educational activities. As facilities may change, check the latest operating information before your visit.

A Different Historical Focus in the Wider Destination of Lindau

The wider destination of Lindau offers additional historical points of interest. Lindau's New Lighthouse is 33 meters high and can be reached by climbing 139 steps. On Lindau Island, the Diebsturm, built in 1380, long formed the western end of the town fortifications. In a thematic comparison, the lighthouse and town fortifications take center stage in these Lindau examples, while Weiler-Simmerberg appeals to other interests with its hiking destinations, the Kornhaus Museum and its brewing history.
