Ravensburg

Ravensburg, the "City of Towers", is a real gem along the Upper Swabian Baroque Road. Surrounded by gentle hills, hop fields, and apple orchards, the city entices visitors with its well-preserved old town, historical trading architecture, and a rich cultural offering. For convertible drivers, the journey to Ravensburg is already an experience: The roads through Upper Swabia offer gentle curves, wide views, and frequently surprising perspectives of church towers, castles, and forests – ideal for an enjoyable drive with the roof down.

Historic Old Town with Baroque Neighbors

Ravensburg itself is less characterized by Baroque splendor and more by its medieval past – which in no way detracts from the city's charm; on the contrary: The many well-preserved buildings from the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque periods reflect the former wealth of this imperial city. The Blaserturm ensemble, the Mehlsack – one of the most well-known landmarks – and the marketplace with its splendid civic houses and cafés make the city center an exciting destination for architecture enthusiasts and urban strollers.

At the same time, Ravensburg is an ideal starting point for day trips to Baroque attractions in the region: The Weingarten Basilica, Schussenried Monastery, Salem Castle, or the pilgrimage church of Birnau are quickly accessible by convertible and can be beautifully integrated into a round trip. Additionally, Ravensburg lies on the Fantastic Road.

Enjoyable Stops for Convertible Fans

Those who dedicate themselves to the Upper Swabian Baroque Road will find plenty to enjoy in and around Ravensburg: The roads are excellently developed, winding through green landscapes and offering varied drives through small villages, past churches and estates.

The combination of culture, nature, and culinary delights is typical of this region – perfect for those who want to combine driving pleasure with relaxation.

Events such as the Ravensburg Rutenfest parade or the numerous markets also provide additional reasons to linger here. Those who wish to leave the convertible parked for a while can wonderfully explore the city on foot – whether on a guided tour along the old city wall or while strolling through small shops and galleries.

Ravensburg is not only a worthwhile destination but also a connecting element between medieval urban culture and Baroque landscape architecture. Its location makes it ideal for discovery trips along the Upper Swabian Baroque Road – for all those who want to stylishly and leisurely explore the cultural heritage of Southern Germany.
