Accommodation
Hermaringen is located at the foot of the Swabian Alb and is known for its picturesque landscapes with rolling hills and green meadows. The village has a rich history as the former seat of a noble family and is home to some magnificent buildings such as Hermaringen Castle or St. Stephen's Church.

An absolute highlight are also the numerous outdoor activities in the area. Whether hiking on the well-signposted paths through woods and meadows or cycling along the Danube cycle path - here every nature lover gets his money's worth. The best season for these activities is definitely spring to autumn.

Culture enthusiasts don't miss out in Hermaringen either: a special highlight is the annual castle festival in summer with a medieval market, knights' tournaments and musical performances. A trip to nearby Ulm is also very worthwhile: Here you can visit the famous Ulm Cathedral, among other things, or take a walk along the Danube.

For culinary connoisseurs, there is also plenty to discover: be sure to try regional specialities such as Swabian Maultaschen or Spätzle. The excellent wine from nearby Württemberg is also an absolute must.

And what do you do in Hermaringen when it rains? Don't worry - there's plenty to do even in bad weather: For example, visit the local history museum in Hermaringen Castle or relax in one of the cosy cafés and restaurants in the village.

All in all, Hermaringen is definitely worth a visit - whether as a day trip from Ulm or as a longer holiday destination for nature lovers and culture enthusiasts. We hope this guide will help you get the most out of your stay!

Albtäler cycle tour by Klemens
June 12, 2025 · Community
Ich bin ca die halbe Tour von Geislingen nach Westerstetten in einem Rutsch gefahren und das war schon ganz schön anstrengend. Es sind sehr schöne Stücke dabei, aber auch ziemlich langweilige (auf der Albhochfläche). Es lohnt sich, die Tour vorher genau anzuschauen und ggf abzukürzen, denn es sind schon Schlenker dabei, wo man sich hinterher fragt "musste das jetzt sein?".
