Buch: Mühlenweiher, Cycling and Hiking

When looking for hotels in Buch, you can choose your destination based on specific interests. The Nordholzer Weiher and the cycling options and hiking tour in the market town of Buch offer different starting points for planning your trip. For a broader nature and cultural context, Neu-Ulm is a destination in its own right within the wider region.

Nature and tours in the market town of Buch

The Nordholzer Weiher, also known as Mühlenweiher, is part of the market town of Buch. It is located on the edge of Nordholz and is a local attraction. On 23 August 1982, it was designated a protected natural monument covering an area of approximately 4.4 hectares.

Cycling options in the market town of Buch include the Biberspuren loop and the Bayerisch-Schwäbische Roth Cycle Route. The Rechberg Route is a hiking tour in the market town of Buch and is associated with the district of Neu-Ulm. The type of activity is therefore a clear distinction when choosing: the two cycling routes versus a hiking tour.
