Cozy beer garden with bike parking. Great salads, good beer 🍺, coffee, and delicious cakes – and everyone is very friendly. That's how it should be. Highly recommended.

A small Christmas market takes place every year at the Kultur Stadl in Wörleschwang. The market only has one stand each for mulled wine, sausages and a stand for crêpes - small but very family-friendly. To warm up, you can go to the Event Stadl or the Stadl Café/Bistro. The Event Stadl offers a lot throughout the year, from brass music to pop or classical music to theater, drag or cabaret. The Kultur Stadl can accommodate up to 100 people.

The Schmuttertal stretches along the Schmutter river in the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia. The Schmutter is a 96-kilometer-long river that flows into the Danube from the right opposite Donauwörth after a generally northerly course. In Täfertingen, a district of Neusäß, the Schmuttertal shapes the landscape and offers a wide range of opportunities for nature and leisure activities. Landscape and nature: The Schmuttertal near Täfertingen is characterized by its natural river landscape with alluvial forests, wet meadows and a rich flora and fauna. The regular flooding of the Schmutter promotes biodiversity and creates habitats for numerous animal and plant species. This area is part of the Schmuttertal biodiversity project, which promotes biodiversity and protects the natural habitat. Leisure opportunities: Well-developed cycling and hiking trails run along the Schmutter, inviting you to take long tours. The section between Ottmarshausen and Neusäß in particular offers idyllic paths for walks and bike tours. Anglers appreciate the Schmutter for its abundance of fish, although the relevant permits are required. Sights: In Täfertingen there is the Church of the Assumption of Mary, which used to be a popular destination for pilgrims. An old Gothic image still indicates this today. A carved group on the altar, the so-called “Täfertinger Mariä Tod”, is also Gothic. This is attributed to Veit Stoß’s school. Kneipp facility at the old water house: On the edge of the forest in Täfertingen, near the old water house of the special purpose association for the water supply of the Loderberg group, a Kneipp pool for water treading was opened in 2011 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Loderberg group. An arm bathing pool followed two years later. It is not only cyclists whose route takes them along it who stop here for a rest. The Schmutter valley near Täfertingen thus offers a harmonious combination of nature experiences, leisure activities and cultural sights.

The Gailenbacher Mill is a historic mill in Bavarian Swabia, located between the districts of Täfertingen and Hirblingen in the town of Gersthofen. It originally served as a grain mill and is now an important cultural monument in the region. History: The mill was first mentioned in documents in 1296. Over the centuries it changed hands several times and was continuously modernized. In March 1933 a fire broke out in the mill's outbuildings; parts of the property were saved, but the coach house and the barn were completely destroyed and the stable partially destroyed. In recent decades the mill has repeatedly been the scene of severe flooding, but various construction measures have significantly improved flood protection in recent years. The mill is no longer in operation and the buildings have been rented out to several businesses. Current use: Today, the Gailenbacher Mill houses the GrandeVia store, which offers decorative items for the home and garden in an exhibition and sales area of over 1,000 square meters. The historic ambience of the mill gives the shopping experience a special charm. A visit to the Gailenbacher Mill offers a successful combination of historic flair, shopping experience and enjoyment of nature.
