Wertingen
The endearing and friendly town in the valley of the river Zusam (30 km north-west of Augsburg) has many faces and something to offer to every visitor: to the towntrotter, the historian, the lover of arts, and the passionate sportsman and sportswoman. The rebuilt and renovated market place with its cozy city center the point of attraction. Under the historic facades of old stud work houses, you may find shops, cafés, restaurants and a weekly market.
There are a lot of leisure time facilities and a rich cultural life. We invite you to get to know Wertingen.
