Situated in the southwest of Bavaria, Bavarian Swabia extends from the Bavarian Allgäu to the Nördlinger Ries. Further borders are Lake Constance and Tyrol in the south, the Lech in the east, the Iller in the west and Central Franconia in the north. You can reach Schwaben in Bavarian via the motorways A7 and A8 and the federal roads B2, B10, B16, B28 and B32. The nearest airport is Memmingen.
