Discover Malmsheim: Local History, Walking Tour and Rankbach

Malmsheim combines an engaging local history with independent exploration and a hiking route along the Rankbach. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house in Malmsheim can therefore plan their stay according to different interests: one day can be spent in the historic town centre, another along the Rankbach or at the Renningen-Malmsheim airfield.

Historical insights in the town centre

The historic walking tour through the town centre leads to the town hall, St Germanus Church, the two former schools and the bakehouse. Historic farmsteads, single-storey farmhouses and half-timbered buildings from different periods are also among the stops. The walking tour comprises 17 information panels and is intended to be completed independently. You can therefore take in the information at your own pace and include the town centre as a separate item in your day's plans.

A cultural stop offering more in-depth insight is the Malmsheim Local History Museum. The Rankbachtal Local History Society operates it for the entire city of Renningen. The museum is open on the second and fourth Sunday of each month from 2 to 5 p.m., as well as by prior arrangement. For your planning, it is worth taking these opening times into account before visiting.

Walking along the Rankbach

Anyone wishing to combine exercise and exploring the area during their stay will find a specific route with a clearly defined starting point: an 8.2-kilometre hiking route begins at Malmsheim S-Bahn station and follows the Rankbach along the stream discovery trail. The route length is an important factor when planning your day. You can set aside the route as a hiking experience in its own right and take the station starting point into account when planning your arrival.

Travelling by S-Bahn

Malmsheim has an S-Bahn station on line S 6, with connections towards Stuttgart and Weil der Stadt. This connection is a practical consideration when choosing a holiday destination if you would like to include excursions and travel by public transport in your plans. At the same time, the described hiking route begins at the S-Bahn station. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house in Malmsheim, you can include the S-Bahn connections and the route's starting point in your travel plans.

Gliding as a special experience

Another, considerably more specialised option is gliding training with the Malmsheim Sports Flying Club. Club membership is required for this. Practical gliding training at the Renningen-Malmsheim airfield takes place from March to October. Anyone wishing to include this activity in their stay should take the membership requirement and the stated period into account from the outset. This experience is therefore suited to travel planning that differs from the historic walking tour or independent hike.

Choosing the right accommodation for your travel plans

When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house in Malmsheim, you can use the focus of your travel plans as a selection criterion.
