Hotels in Erkheim

Erkheim is a small market town of around 3,000 people in the Unterallgäu district of Bavarian Swabia: a working rural community of farmland, a parish church and a modest main street rather than a tourist destination in its own right. Its real appeal is position. It sits close to the A96 motorway between Munich and Lake Constance, and Memmingen Allgäu Airport is a short drive away, which makes it a practical base for early flights or a quieter overnight stop than the bigger towns.

Memmingen's well-preserved old town is nearby for an evening out, and the rolling green Allgäu countryside starts on the doorstep, with the Alps within day-trip reach on clear days. Be honest: there is little to do in Erkheim itself after dark, choice is limited to a handful of places (we list five), and you will want a car. Stay in or near the village centre for walkable guesthouse-style lodging, or pick whichever option gives the quickest run to the airport if you have an early departure.
