Fischerfest Rottenacker

Danube, Fish, and Brass Music

Rottenacker is located on the right bank of the Danube in the Alb-Donau district, between Munderkingen and Ehingen – one of the particularly fish-rich sections of the Upper Swabian Danube Valley. The local angling club, a traditional institution in the region, takes great care of its water sections. Once a year, it invites you to its annual main event: the Fischerfest at the Fischerhütte right on the Danube bank.

Smoked Trout as a Trademark

The highlight of the festival is the smoked trout from the club's own smokehouse. The trout come from the club's own pond facilities, are processed directly on-site, and smoked according to traditional customs. In addition, there's fish ragout (a specialty of the club, based on Danube carp, pike, and zander), fried fish, and vegetarian alternatives. French fries, draft beer, and Swabian classics complete the offering.

Brass Music and Sociability

The musical program is usually provided by the local music club or a guest ensemble from the region – Swabian-Bavarian brass music, folk songs, and in the evening, hits and party music. The atmosphere is family-friendly and village-like: no stage show, but slow lingering on the Danube bank with festival benches, lanterns, and a view of the calm water.

Club Activities

Danube Day with On-Site Atmosphere

Visitors to the Fischerfest can combine the day with a walk along the Danube, a bike tour on the Danube Cycle Path (the classic route between Donaueschingen and Passau), or an exploration of the nearby Swabian Jura. The Upper Swabian Danube Valley offers a mix of quiet natural scenery and small villages with a strong club tradition – Rottenacker, Munderkingen, Ehingen, Erbach.
