For over four hundred years this area was a part of the Roman Empire. You still can find many traces from this time. If you are interested ask for detailed information at any local tourist office. You probably can spend days just to visit all the different places.
Peaceful settlers in this region were Jewish people. Many of them lived in the community of "Binswangen". This is documented back to the year 1525. In 1864, 38.4% of the people living in Binswangen were Jewish.
Later many of them emigrated to the USA and the Jewish population was down to 4.1% in 1933. All of them have been deported until 1942.
In Binswangen, you still can find the synagogue which has been built between 1836 and 1837.
After the renovation in 1996 the synagogue is used as the meeting place. It is called now the "Alte Synagoge".

You also will find an old Jewish cemetery in Binswangen.
Even when the catholic church is the dominant, certain villages are lutheran. The lutheran church in Hausnheim was built between 1606 and 1609.

Naturally, you must not only visit ruins from Roman times and churches. There are local events where you can have fun and clean entertainment. You can go biking, hiking, do other sort activities or just enjoy the scenery.
