Haus des Tourismus

Haus des Tourismus stands in Bad Urach, inside the town’s former post office building. This visitor centre provides a starting point for exploring the historic town and the Swabian Alb. Families find the Entdeckerwelt inside, an interactive discovery space designed for children aged seven to thirteen.

The building opened in summer 2015 and accommodates several regional tourism organisations. Their information covers the Swabian Alb and its attractions, while the surrounding streets lead into Bad Urach’s historic centre. The Residenzrundweg begins here and follows nineteen stations through the town’s oldest and formerly noble quarters.

Informative plaques trace Bad Urach’s role as a residence of the Counts of Württemberg from 1442 to 1482. Along the route, you encounter Residenzschloss Urach, the Evangelische Stiftskirche St. Amandus and the Alte Lateinschule. The first plaque therefore places you at the threshold of a walk through administration, trade and history.
