The historic Old Town is located tightly within a dramatic loop of the Danube River, making the settlement look almost like a tiny island embraced by the gently flowing water.

Beyond the region, Munderkingen is famous for its lively Swabian-Alemannic Fasnet (carnival), a lively spectacle featuring ancient traditions, hand-carved wooden masks, and the iconic "fountain jump" custom.
