Tips from the Community
According to ancient tradition, the Aresingen church of St. Martin stood in the earliest times up in Bauerngasse, in the orchard of the "Redl," opposite the ducal chamber and landowner's farm. Historically, this seems entirely possible, even probable. For the entire great and small tithes of Bauerngasse, with the exception of the ducal fiefdoms, had always belonged to St. Martin. Down by the Weilach River, the castle of the Aresingen knights also stood at that time, and the Sunderhamers had their own village chapel, dedicated to St. Ulrich, since the 11th century. By 1300, however, the parish church had already moved down to its present location, on the old, well-fortified castle hill. Since the tower still visibly indicates Romanesque architecture, which dates back to approximately 1000 to 1250 AD, the construction of the church can also be dated to this period. The parish was large, and the pastor had to maintain an assistant priest, a "Gsell." Daughter churches were located in Rettenbach, Weilenbach, Autenzell, and St. Peter in Sattelberg. The Augsburg Cathedral Chapter had the right of presentation. Source: Information board at the site

A very nice bike path, but also a few hills that require some pedaling, but it's okay! It's a wonderful ride through cute little towns.👍
