Gundelfingen is a small town, also known as the "Gardeners' Town." Crossed by three river branches, the town lies between the meadows and floodplain forests of the Danube Valley.

At the station there is a plaque donated to SAV Sontheim. This is attached to a stone. When the weather is clear, certain mountains such as Zugspitze can be seen. The offset in one photo was caused by sliding down in panorama mode😉

Currently closed for renovation. According to an article in the Südwestpresse, January will probably last for several months.
