Memmingen Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The city of Memmingen, especially the old town and the center with the weekly market, is always worth a visit. A special event is Wallenstein's arrival every four years.

August 30, 2025,Allgäu Tag 2: Bad Wörishofen nach Memmingen
No rain again!
But very chilly and only a headwind.🌬🌬🌬🌫 Not acceptable for the end of August. 😅
That was exhausting.
Otherwise, lots of greenery, cows, and bike-friendly paths and back roads.
The highlight was definitely Ottobeuren Abbey with its impressive basilica.👌

Today was the last day of our Allgäu cycling tour. In glorious sunshine, we enjoyed the still very hilly Allgäu landscape. Farmers were busy haymaking almost everywhere. Now it was time to take advantage of the weather, as the last few nights had been quite rainy. Ottobeuren was the only larger town on our route, with its magnificent basilica and …

On the final and eighth day of our bike tour through the Allgäu, we returned to Memmingen, where the journey began. Of course, a visit to the Benedictine abbey in Ottobeuren was a must. Continuing through the hilly landscape, we returned to the starting point of our bike tour after eight days, 440 km, and 27.13 hours of cycling.

From Bad Wörishofen it goes past the beautiful spa park with its graduation tower and aroma garden by Sebastian Kneipp, always hilly on small side roads to Ottobeuren with its impressive basilica. One of the most beautiful and largest German baroque churches in Germany. The Way of St. James also leads past Ottobeuren and there is still an active Benedictine …

Somehow we lost sight of them, the mountains are gone🥲. But a stage through the green of the old moraine landscape with slight climbs over forest, field and meadow paths is also beautiful. Of course, a detour to the Basilica of Ottobeuren is a must.

Nice way to Memmingen, then partly gravel. All in all a nice day, the short detour to the Katzbrui mill was worth it. Previously Ottobeuren, if you like baroque, you must have seen the church

Our 2nd stage started with cool temperatures and fog and this was reflected on the glasses and the mind.
In addition, there were initially quite nice climbs but also great descents.
Today we are in the landscape stories on the paths of happiness. It is the home of the water doctor Sebastian Kneipp, who helped many sick people to heal …

The quiet Allgäu landscape continued today. No more big climbs, just lots to see and enjoy. The absolute highlight was without question the basilica in Ottobeuren. A splendor and opulence, inside and out. Bad Wörishofen has also retained its charm and showed off its best side. Today's destination was Memmingen, but I won't be able to see it until tomorrow …
