Discover Tussenhausen

Tussenhausen can best be discovered through its documented history and the Angelberg Bakehouse. The wider travel destination of Unterallgäu offers further natural, cultural, and visitor information points.

Local History and Baking in Tussenhausen

The documented history of Tussenhausen begins with a donation. The Angelberg Bakehouse adds a tangible example of local craftsmanship to this historical perspective: in 2003, a bread-baking workshop with a stone oven based on historical designs was built in Tussenhausen. The construction was shaped by a great deal of volunteer effort and craftsmanship. Its year of construction and oven design give the bakehouse its own cultural character.

On scheduled baking days, local residents can bake their own dough into finished bread in the stone oven at the Angelberg Bakehouse. This puts both communal bread baking and their own dough in the spotlight, alongside the building’s history. The baking days therefore offer a different perspective from the building’s history: one is about local residents baking bread, the other about the creation of a bread-baking workshop based on historical designs.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows is another cultural destination in Tussenhausen. This extends the range of local attractions from crafts and their history to a place of religious significance.

The wider setting of Unterallgäu

In Unterallgäu, the Iller to the west and the Wertach to the east form the natural boundaries. The region is accessible via the A7 and A96 motorways, an extensive road network, rail connections, and Allgäu Airport in Memmingerberg. Cycling and hiking trails throughout the district have uniform signage; Unterallgäu is also home to the Glückswege trails.

Nature destinations and hiking trails vary in length and design. The forest adventure trail in Bad Grönenbach is 3.2 kilometers long and introduces visitors to the forest ecosystem. In Buxheim, a 2.7-kilometer forest adventure trail loops around Buxheimer Weiher and is designed to let visitors experience nature with all their senses. In the Bannwald forest in Ottobeuren, eleven stations lead visitors along the forest adventure trail. Benninger Ried is easy to walk through and has its own educational trail and an observation platform. The selection in Unterallgäu thus ranges from a trail of a set length and a loop around a pond to stations in the forest and an educational trail in the marshland.

The architectural and cultural monuments of Unterallgäu also offer a variety of highlights: the basilica in Ottobeuren and Mindelburg Castle in Mindelheim are among the region’s important architectural monuments. Fugger Castle in Kirchheim is home to the world-famous Cedar Hall; the former Imperial Charterhouse in Buxheim is known for its choir stalls. Today, the Sebastian Kneipp Museum in the monastery’s east wing documents the life and work of the famous priest, with more than 2,000 exhibits.

Mindelburg Castle has different access hours: the castle courtyard is open year-round, while the castle keep, which has been converted into an observation tower, is open from April to October. Check the latest information about seasonal access to the castle keep before visiting.

A regional culinary event, the Culinary Mile in Bad Wörishofen takes place twice a year, in spring and autumn. Numerous food stalls serve freshly prepared dishes. If you are planning a visit, check the dates for the year in question.
