Beer hiking trail in Ehingen

Beer culture is alive and well in Ehingen, and it's not for nothing that the town on the Danube is called the city of beer culture. The best conditions to get to know the local breweries on this 14-kilometer hike. From the train station in Ehingen it is only about 100 m to the tour. However, the official starting point is at the Bierkulturstadt signpost on the market square (market square bus stop).

At the beginning of the circular hike you walk through the city center and have the chance to taste the in-house hop juice at four historic breweries. At the inner city breweries Schwanen, Adler, Schwert and Rössle, beautiful beer gardens await you for a convivial break. Well strengthened, you then hike out of the city and towards the Danube.

The path leads you through the Donauried on a nature discovery trail to Nasgenstadt. Extensive renaturation measures have given this habitat back to animals and plants. You might even spot beavers, storks or a kingfisher.

In Nasgenstadt you cross the Danube and hike the next stretch along the banks of the river to Berg. Thirst? Then a stop at the Berg Brewery is just what you need. With renewed energy we then return to Ehingen. There you can make yourself comfortable in one of the municipal beer gardens at the end of the hike. Well then cheers!
