Leisure time activities
Greater Augsburg offers plenty of great ways to spend your leisure time. Have a look at this list. You will certainly find something to enjoy.
- Balloon Museum Gersthofen
At the heart of the new wing of the museum is a full-scale replica of the balloon „Erdlieb“, n which Freiherr Maximilian von Lütgendorf tried and failed several times to become the first German to ascend in a balloon in 1786, first at Augsburg and then at Gersthofen. Another replica and an audio play will take you back to 1931 when Professor Auguste Piccard became the first person to ascend into the stratosphere. The world held its breath as it watched this scientific adventure in 1931.
The true highlight, however, is the five-story former water-tower, built in 1906, and its spectacular view of Augsburg and its surroundings.

Taking its inspiration from its history, the district calls itself „Wittelsbacher Land“.

The castle of Kirchheim unter Teck is situated rather discretely at the fringes of the small town at the foot of the Swabian Mountains, surrounded by trees and the moat. This rural idyll was built from 1538 by Herzog Christopf von Württemberg as a part of the fortifications of Kirchheim. An important part of the history of the renaissance hunting castle was is function as the home of the ducal widows for over 200 years. Today it is a charming museum welcoming its visitors.
