Wurzach Castle (1723-1728) in the city center boasts one of the most beautiful Baroque staircases in southern Germany. It is considered a jewel on the Upper Swabian Baroque Route. The elegantly curved staircase cleverly ascends a considerable height to the ceiling fresco, depicting an ancient heaven of the gods. The impressive painting centers on the legend of Hercules. Commissioned by the House of Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach, it was likely significantly influenced by Italian artists. The castle courtyard is flanked by two guardhouses, the "Hohes Haus" (High House) to the west and the "Rentamt" (Tax Office), built in 1691, to the east. This wing also houses the old castle chapel, first mentioned in 1422. To the left in the choir is the tomb of George I of Waldburg, "Jörg with the pretty hair," who died in 1467. The Baroque staircase is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (free entry) (Source: https://www.oberschwaben-tourismus.de/attraktionen/barocktreppenhaus-wurzacher-schloss-759edc50a8)

The Metzisweiler Pond near Bad Wurzach is a popular swimming lake, but currently has a swimming ban. The water quality was poor in the past, leading to a swimming ban. Nevertheless, the pond is an idyllic destination with a beautiful lawn, free parking, and other amenities. Source: Overview with AI

The water in the Stockweiher pond may have a mysteriously dark shimmer, but it is very clean. The moor lakes near Immenried have excellent water quality, which is regularly tested and is even beneficial to health.

The lake, first mentioned in 1735, was created in the late Middle Ages by flooding a low moor area and today has a catchment area of around 69 hectares. The size of the water surface is 6.4 hectares, with an average depth of 1.7 meters and a maximum depth of 3.1 meters, resulting in a volume of around 109,000 cubic meters. The lake's main inflow is through several drainage ditches, the outflow via a Mönch to the Holzmühleweiher and from there via the Immenrieder Ach and the Obersee to the Wolfegger Ach and Schussen into Lake Constance and thus to the Rhine and ultimately into the North Sea.

Since 1995, the pond has been part of the designated Young Moraine Landscape Conservation Area between Amtzell and Vogt. Due to its poor water quality, the Holzmühleweiher was included in the Tübingen Regional Council's "Action Program for the Rehabilitation of Upper Swabian Lakes." Source: Wikipedia
