Things To Do
in Weißenhorn

Weekly market (typically mornings) at the main square offering seasonal fruit and vegetables, baked goods, cheeses and regional specialties—perfect for picnic supplies.

During festivals and holidays, expect stalls selling street snacks, sausages, pretzels and seasonal sweets (Christmas markets in winter are especially atmospheric).

Germans value punctuality—arrive on time for tours, restaurant reservations and appointments.

Use a polite greeting (Guten Tag) and basic manners when entering shops or meeting locals; formal address (Sie) is common with strangers.

Respect quiet hours (typically night-time and parts of Sunday) and be mindful of noise in residential areas; many restaurants close earlier than in big cities.

Follow local recycling practices—separate glass, paper and packaging—and use designated bins; correct sorting is taken seriously.

In Germany tipping is appreciated but modest; in restaurants round up the bill or leave about 5–10% for good service. For taxis, round up or add a small tip; cafés and bars commonly leave small change.

Cash (euro) is widely used, especially in small shops and markets, but most restaurants and larger stores accept cards (EC Girocard and major credit cards). It’s wise to carry some cash for smaller purchases and weekend markets.

Warm, pleasant weather ideal for walking, cycling and outdoor dining; small-town festivals and beer gardens are in full swing. Expect longer daylight hours and occasional thunderstorms—pack light layers and rain protection.

Crisp air, colourful foliage and harvest-season markets make this a scenic time to visit; cooler evenings call for a jacket. It’s also a quieter travel period outside of local festivals.

Cold temperatures with occasional snow; the old town looks picturesque under snow cover and Christmas markets create a cozy atmosphere. Some attractions or rural services may have reduced hours—dress warmly and check opening times.

Mild, increasingly sunny weather as nature returns—ideal for early hiking and cycling; spring markets and flowering trees add charm. Weather can be changeable, so layer and carry a waterproof layer.

Vegetarian options are increasingly common—many restaurants serve vegetarian versions of traditional dishes (e.g., spinach maultaschen or mushroom spätzle). Ask staff for meat-free options; supermarkets and bakeries carry fresh produce and dairy alternatives.

Vegan choices are more limited in traditional spots but available at cafés and some restaurants; choose salads, vegetable sides and check for vegan-friendly bakeries or health-food shops in nearby larger towns.

Gluten-free options exist but are less widespread in classic taverns—communicate needs clearly and seek out modern cafés or grocery stores in town or in nearby cities for gluten-free bread and snacks.

Specialty halal restaurants are uncommon in a small town; if strict dietary rules apply, plan ahead by buying suitable supplies from larger nearby towns (Ulm or Memmingen) or staying at restaurants that can accommodate requests.
