The world's oldest social settlement, this estate houses 200 impoverished Catholic tenants.
Reviewed By 549JenB - London, United Kingdom
This is a lovely place to visit for everyone. It's the oldest social housing development in the world dating back to the 16th Century and was the concept of Jakob Fugger. It is still inhabited today and the people lucky enough to be allowed to live there pay 88 cents in rent and must be Catholics and willing to pray for the Fugger family. You can go into a ground floor apartment as it looks today as well as another one which looks like it did 200yrs ago. There is also a museum with lots of information about the Fugger family and a restaurant/cafe.

I (Carmen) grew up in Augsburg and the Puppenkiste was part of my upbringing. Now I'm sad (though it's not surprising) to say that all plays are only in German, some even in native tongue but all are amazing. When I was younger there was a tour offered and I am not sure if it is still around but if it is, just to get a view behind the scenes, I'd go for that any time again. Last time we went, as my husband is english/french, we only passed it and I showed him the outside. It's also close to the 'Rotes Tor' water tower and open air theater which is only on in summer. There are several tram and bus stations near by which can get you there.

7. Audi Arena

The Erdinger Arena is one of the most impressive and most beautiful ski jumping stadiums in the world. Almost daily national and international training groups practice on the jumping hills in the arena. In addition, numerous events such as the Four Hills Tournament, concerts and much more take place every year. A ski museum, guided tours, the “skywalk-park” between the jumping hills and a restaurant complete the experience.

Note that “Audi Arena” and “Erdinger Arena” are one and the same place. It simply changed the main sponsor and with this its name. Be prepared for further changes in the coming years, depending on the ever changing main sponsors. The arena is located at the northern hill of the “Schattenberg” and its eponymous ski jumping hills. It is famous worldwide for its beautiful surroundings. It even has its own little waterfall, within the compound, that can be seen next to the standing area. An arena trip includes a climb by elevator to the top of the jumping tower and a visit to the ski museum. The latter is located in the main building and is reviewed separately on TA. Note that if you visit on a day when a ski jump event is taking place, the arena trip is not possible. The gondolas of the cable car to the “Nebelhorn” summit crosses the grand stands the whole day, even during World Cup events. The grand stands, surrounding the landing area for the athletes, look like a football stadium cut in half and can accommodate 27000 people Do not confuse the “Schattenberg-Schanze” with the even bigger “Heini-Klopfer-Schanze”, which is a few kilometers away and used for the spectacular ski flying events. Ski Jumping originated in the 18th century, in the Norwegian province of Telemark. With time, the interest for this new discipline rose and Ski Jumping became a sport of its own. Today Ski Jumping is one of the most popular disciplines in winter sports. Around the world fans gather to watch athletes fly through the air at world cup competitions and the famous “Vierschanzentournee” (Four Hills Tournament). Ski jumping was added to the Olympic winter games in 1924.

Family, 2 adults, 2 kids 9 and 10 years old, visited Alpsee Bergwelt in the summer of 2019. Excellent views, excellent nature and a very fun holiday experience to go downhill with the extremely long coaster, probably difficult to experience the same thing elsewhere. The 10 year old kid went alone with the coaster and the 9 year kid went with the father. Everyone enjoyed it a lot and I can truly recommend it. However, important that the kids are mature enough and aware of safety rules, both uphill and downhill.

We stayed for one night prior to visiting Neuschwanstein Castle and found our stroll around the town square most enjoyable. It is a pedestrian zone and there are plenty of restaurants to choose from.
