Discover Bobingen

Bobingen offers several distinct reasons to stay: the Aquamarin outdoor swimming pool features water and play elements; the Unteres Schlößchen regularly hosts art exhibitions; and St. Felizitas parish church showcases historic architecture and religious art. There is also the Buchkopf spring in the Augsburg – Western Forests Nature Park, a stopping point for hikers. When looking for a hotel, you can prioritize the things you want to shape your stay.

Aquamarin outdoor swimming pool

The Aquamarin outdoor swimming pool has a heated children's paddling pool with a water bubbler, slide, boat channel and water hedgehog. This makes the pool a destination in its own right, alongside Bobingen’s cultural attractions. If you also plan your trip around leisure activities, the pool offers a water-focused alternative to art and architecture. When planning, you can decide whether the pool or the galleries and church architecture are your personal priorities.

Art and church architecture

The Bobingen Art Association regularly organizes art exhibitions in the gallery rooms at the Unteres Schlößchen. Their recurring nature makes art a distinct theme for a trip and adds a cultural highlight to the other local attractions. If you would like to include an exhibition in your plans, check the current dates before you travel so you can coordinate your visit with the program.

The Catholic parish church of St. Felizitas dates back to the year 1200. It has a Romanesque tower and a Late Gothic main structure. Notable features of the interior include a Pietà by Lorenz Luidl. The Romanesque tower and Late Gothic main structure give the church two distinct architectural accents; the Pietà adds a specific example of its interior furnishings.

A break at the Buchkopf spring

Since 1965, hikers have been able to stop for a short break at the Buchkopf spring in the Augsburg – Western Forests Nature Park. This makes it a different kind of stop from the gallery or parish church: the focus here is on taking a break while hiking. If you plan to include the spring in your day’s itinerary, check its current accessibility in advance.

More options in the Augsburg destination area

Those who also consider Augsburg as a wider destination will find more routes and activities there. The LandArt art trail in Bonstetten is a 5.65-kilometer circular hiking trail. Along the art trail, artist Hama Lohrmann personally explains his sculptures. This combines the circular route with an art focus, while the distance helps you gauge the scope of the outing.

The three-kilometer meditation trail runs from Oberschönenfeld Abbey to Weiherhof, following the edge of the forest in the Schwarzachtal valley. The two routes differ in length and format: the LandArt art trail is a 5.65-kilometer circular route with sculptures, while the meditation trail covers three kilometers from the abbey to Weiherhof.

The Augsburg district has a well-developed network of cycle paths. Westwood Alpacas offers regular alpaca hikes and excursions through the nature park. The Stauden, Holzwinkel and Reischenau regions are part of the Augsburg – Western Forests Nature Park. This wider destination therefore offers cycling and alpaca excursions as additional nature-focused activities alongside hiking trails.
