Bobingen can be explored through several specific interests: art, architectural history and outdoor activities. The Aquamarin outdoor swimming pool, St. Felizitas parish church and the Buchkopf spring offer different ways to discover the town. Depending on your interests, you can focus on cultural attractions, a swim or a short break while hiking.
Art and architectural history in Bobingen
The Bobingen Art Association regularly organizes art exhibitions in the gallery rooms of the Unteres Schlößchen. If you would like to plan your stay around an exhibition, it is best to check the specific dates in advance. Visiting an exhibition offers a different focus from looking at the architectural features of St. Felizitas.
The Catholic parish church of St. Felizitas is dated to the year 1200. Its features include a Romanesque tower and a Late Gothic nave. Notable interior furnishings include a Pietà by Lorenz Luidl. Lorenz Luidl’s Pietà adds a specific detail of the church’s notable interior furnishings to the story of St. Felizitas’s architectural history.
Outdoor swimming and a short hiking break
The Aquamarin outdoor swimming pool has a heated children’s paddling pool with a water jet, slide, boat channel and water hedgehog. These specific features give the pool its own character among Bobingen’s attractions. If you are planning a swim, it is best to check the current visitor information in advance.
Since 1965, hikers have been able to stop for a short break at the Buchkopf spring in the Augsburg – Western Forests Nature Park. This offers a different type of outing alongside the outdoor pool: a break while hiking. Check the current conditions before planning a specific route.
In the wider Augsburg destination
The wider Augsburg destination offers other distinct options for nature and culture enthusiasts. The LandArt Bonstetten art trail is a 5.65-kilometre circular hiking route. Along the way, artist Hama Lohrmann personally explains his sculptures. Art and hiking come together here in an explicitly described combination.
The three-kilometre meditation trail leads from the Oberschönenfeld Cistercian Abbey to the Weiherhof on the edge of the Schwarzachtal valley. It is shorter than the LandArt art trail; the two offerings also differ in their stated focus: one is a route between named endpoints, while the other features sculptures explained personally by the artist. The distances and route descriptions therefore provide specific points of comparison to help you choose.
The Augsburg district has an extensive, well-developed cycle path network. The Augsburg – Western Forests Nature Park encompasses the Stauden, Holzwinkel and Reischenau regions. Westwood Alpacas offers regular alpaca walks and excursions through the nature park. In addition to the attractions in Bobingen, the wider Augsburg destination offers more options: cycling in the district and alpaca excursions in the nature park.
