Emperor Napoleon has also been here and went into raptures at the sight of the monastery church in Oberelchingen. However, his visit was not of a peaceful nature. In the historic Battle of Elchingen on October 14, 1805, his troops defeated the Austrian army, marking the beginning of the end of the Holy Roman Empire.
In Elchingen, you can follow in Napoleon's footsteps, but also find peace and quiet in the magnificent monastery church and in the idyllic monastery garden with views of the green ribbon of the Danube valley.
The route continues along the Danube to Ulm and Neu-Ulm, where the former garden show site in Wiley has developed into a popular leisure park. Passing the Ludwigsfeld bathing lake, the route continues via Straß to Oberfahlheim, where Napoleon spent the night before the decisive battle. The Museum of Fine Arts invites you to pay a flying visit here.
Start is at the train station in 89275 Elchingen-Thalfingen, Am Bahndamm 26
