Rent a holiday apartment in Wallerstein

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Wallerstein is choosing a stay in a place with a strong historical character and notable local points of interest. Wallerstein is located in the Bavarian district of Donau-Ries. The connection to the House of Oettingen and the market rights granted in 1500 provide the town with a historical context.

History and local buildings

Wallerstein is historically closely connected with the House of Oettingen. Wallerstein Castle is a reminder of the town’s history as a residence; the castle and castle park are not open to the public. The castle’s history therefore remains an important local context without implying that a public interior visit is possible.

Historical points of interest mentioned in Wallerstein include St. Alban, St. Oswald and the Plague Column. They make the town’s history tangible during a walk, without this constituting a complete list of sights or implying specific opening hours.

The Wallerstein Rock Formation as a landscape feature

The Wallerstein Rock Formation is a distinctive limestone rock on the inner crater rim of the Ries and rises noticeably above the Ries Plain. Those wishing to include a notable landscape feature alongside cultural attractions will find a specific local landmark here. The rock formation thus complements the historical programme with a landscape aspect, without assuming specific paths, a length of stay or any particular accessibility.

Wallerstein as the focus or part of a larger programme

Wallerstein is a suitable choice for travellers who wish to combine local history, a connection to the castle and local buildings into a family programme. Together with the Wallerstein Rock Formation, this creates a day programme that links local history and landscape in one place.

In the wider DONAURIES holiday region, the Ries landscape created by a meteorite impact defines the regional setting. Wallerstein is listed there as one of the places providing landscape and nature information. Those wishing to plan additional nature and landscape experiences in the wider Donau-Ries area alongside Wallerstein should base their choice of accommodation on their planned regional programme.
