A leisurely ride aboard the Öchsle Museum Train is like taking a step back in time and experiencing Upper Swabia as it was 100 years ago! From around 1 May, there are regular steam train trips between Warthausen and Ochsenhausen on the narrow-gauge railway, which is heritage listed along with its beautifully preserved stations. The carriages, including an open summer carriage, are pulled along by the 57-year-old steam locomotive 'Berta', no. 99 788.

Transport
The Mengen to Riedlingen section of the B311 (Ulm-Geisingen) passes right by Ertingen. Until a bypass with a 400m tunnel was built in the 1990s on the western edge of the town, the road went through the centre of Ertingen. After exiting Ertingen to the south, the three-lane road runs parallel to the train line as far as Herbertingen, where it joins the B32 to Bad Saulgau.
