Discover Bondorf: Leisure, Events and History

Bondorf combines active leisure ideas, seasonal experiences and recurring events. At the sports and leisure complex, activities range from boules to four beach sports. Market Sunday, presentations on the first Sunday of Advent and the architectural history of St. Remigius Church add further highlights. When searching for a holiday apartment, consider which of these local themes you would like to shape your stay.

Get active in Bondorf

You can play boules on two courts at the boules area of the Bondorf sports and leisure complex. The facilities are suitable for beginners as well as experienced players. The complex’s beach arena offers beach volleyball, beach football, beach handball and beach tennis. It is open to everyone, particularly during the summer months. This gives you a choice of different ways to play and stay active.

There is also a practical option for travellers with e-bikes: you can charge your battery free of charge using your own charging cable in the waiting room at Bondorf station. Check the current opening hours before your visit.

Bondorf’s fields also offer seasonal ideas for your stay. Local farms often allow visitors to pick their own berries and cut their own flowers. If you are planning an outing like this, check the current options in advance.

Annual events and local history

Bondorf’s Market Sunday takes place every year on the second Sunday in June and is organised by the municipality of Bondorf. On the first Sunday of Advent, Bondorf clubs and associations, the community affairs department, the adult education centre (VHS), kindergartens, local church communities and private individuals present themselves on Hindenburgstraße and around the Zehntscheuer association and cultural centre. Check the municipality’s latest announcement for the relevant year before planning your visit around either event.

One historical highlight is St. Remigius Church: in the first half of the 15th century, Bebenhausen Abbey had a new choir added to the church in Bondorf. This architectural history adds a glimpse of an earlier building phase to today’s leisure and event offerings.

Which themes should guide your choice of accommodation?

When looking for a holiday apartment in Bondorf, you can start by considering when you plan to travel and what you would like to focus on. Boules and beach sports are specific leisure activities; picking berries and cutting flowers are seasonal. Market Sunday and the Advent event, meanwhile, take place at recurring times of the year. This makes it easy to plan your holiday around the local experiences that interest you most.
