Bönnigheim walks

From Bönnigheim to Michaelsberg – a stunning panoramic view over the Zabergäu, Germany’s oldest adventure park and the Lembergermeer! The path winds its way up to Michaelsberg, past seemingly endless rows of vines, which hang heavy with grapes in summer. Even from a distance, St Michael’s Chapel greets you – a stunning sight, surpassed only by the view once you’ve climbed the hill, which stands at just under 400 metres.

With half-timbered houses, panoramic views of the Neckar and breathtaking gorges – discover the vineyard and rock scenery around Besigheim. Starting in Hessigheim, the tour leads along narrow paths up into the Felsengärten and offers views across the Neckar to the medieval town church of Besigheim. Following quiet country lanes, you reach the historic old town, which, with its traditional half-timbered houses and cosy alleyways, invites you to linger. On the banks of the Neckar, through tranquil vineyards, the route takes you past the Salenkanzel back to the starting point.

This walk takes you through the twin towns of Bietigheim-Bissingen. The longest left-bank tributary of the Neckar takes centre stage – experience the Enz Valley in Bietigheim and Bissingen. Here, the Enz flows through picturesque meadow valleys, passes beneath the arches of the majestic Enz Viaduct and runs alongside the half-timbered buildings of Bietigheim’s old town. Rafting has left its mark, and the panoramic trail above Untermberg and the hills near Schellenhof offer some of the finest views.

After conquering France, the Romans advanced across the Rhine. The Odenwald Limes was built to secure the route between the Main and Neckar rivers, which were considered natural borders. Built around 85 AD, this border wall was intended to protect the Roman province of Germania Superior. The fifth and final stage of your hike takes you along the former border line from Neckarburken to Neckarzimmern. During this scenically and culturally enriching tour, you will pass the remains of Roman watchtowers, forts (troop quarters), bathing facilities and border fortifications. Informative boards point out the sights and provide insights into life in the former border region.

This circular walk takes us through beautiful mixed woodland and past red sandstone cliffs to the Waldeck ruins and to the largest wooden overshot waterwheel in Europe.

A tour through the history of the Zavelstein fountains. The Zavelstein Fountain Tour covers 3 km and 19 stations, showcasing the history and special features of the water supply. It was created by the Black Forest Association Zavelstein in collaboration with the town.

A great circular walk for lovers of unspoilt nature who can't get enough of the calming effect of the forest and who are hungry for exercise in the fresh air and pure freedom.

The idea behind this circular walk, which starts above Stift Neuburg, was to follow as many narrow, unpaved paths as possible and avoid the main hiking trails. This wasn’t always possible, and we do pass some popular hiking spots, but during the week and outside the holiday season, it’s also possible to be virtually alone on this route. All the paths are in place and clearly visible in the landscape, even if they are not marked on every map.
