About Fischen
Fischen is a village of about 3,200 people on the bank of the Iller, with the Hörnergruppe rising to the north-west and the Daumen group to the east. It has been a heilklimatischer Kurort, a climatic health resort, since 2002, and spa life centres on the Kurhaus Fiskina and its park; there is also a leisure pool with a 58 m slide. The homes sit close together in the village and are all small, for two to four; check each listing for a garden. Around 50 km of footpaths start here, and the Iller cycle path from Ulm to Oberstdorf passes through. In winter the walking gives way to cross-country trails, night trails among them.
