City of Kaufbeuren

The Five-Button Tower, the Witch’s Tower, the Tanners’ Tower, the Sywollen Tower—and these are by no means all of them. Kaufbeuren offers a wide variety of views, not just of the beautiful mountain scenery from the towers of the old town. It’s also worth taking a look at the attractive living conditions for young families; Saint Crescentia and the monastery provide spiritual enrichment, and the city-wide Tänzelfest festival offers entertainment.
