Our Dillingen is located on the river Danube. (There is another Dillingen in Germany.) However, you will not see big boats here because the river is still too small to be used as an international waterway. You must go downstream until Kehlheim to experience that.

Small boats you will find. take advantage of the public parking lots and browse through the old town. Ask at a tourist office for printed information about the many attractions. Take a break in one of the coffee shops or little restaurants, relax and decide what you want to see. The town museum, churches, the castle and much more.

The castle is one of the landmarks of Dillingen and is open to visitors. Please ask for directions.
Already in the 10th century an old castle was the center of this area with a market which was little by little growing into a town which was called Dillingen in 1264.
In the 15th century alterations and renovations were started and soon the castle became the largest and nicest residence of princes in Swabia.
Today some government offices are located here.
