The Vöhlinschlössle in the Unterallgäu was built around 1490 and looks back on a long history. Originally built as a manor house, it later served as an administrative building and rectory. In the 18th century, the castle was expanded in the Baroque style. Particularly worth seeing is the knight's hall with its ornate ceiling stucco. The two round towers and the historic building fabric have been largely preserved to this day. The Bavarian Bee Museum and the Museum Illertissen are also located in the castle.

The Tree and Art Path is located east of Illertissen on the way to the well-known Gaissmayer nursery (Staudengärtnerei Gaissmayer), the Illertissen airfield is also very close by. n There is no entrance fee or opening hours for visiting the Tree and Art Path. Dogs on a leash are also allowed. Our dog Bronco had a great time with the many animals made of steel and the wooden figures. He often only notices on the second glance that these are not "real". 👀😀 n nThe path through the Tree & Art Path is not particularly long, it should be roughly 400 meters. Together with the guest tree garden (Gastbaumgarten), it is probably 2000 sqm in area. n Nevertheless, it is really a lot of fun and there is a lot to discover! Those who wish can also take a seat on the high seat there and view everything from above. In front of many plants, shrubs, and trees, there are information boards with interesting references.
