Ahorn: Forest, Trails and Discoveries

Ahorn takes its name from the approximately 2,000-hectare Ahorn Forest. This connection between the place name and the landscape shapes the character of the destination. A range of cycling and hiking route descriptions around Eubigheim offer inspiration for active days; cultural attractions and a family-friendly outdoor swimming pool in summer round out the options. You can plan your stay around outdoor activities, local history or a day at the pool.

Cycling and hiking routes with different profiles

The route called Around the Ahorn Forest starts and ends at the town hall in Eubigheim. The LT 19 Grünkern and Orchards hike offers a different experience: it crosses a stream, passes colorful fields and continues to Berolzheim. This makes the difference clear when planning your day: the cycling route has the same named starting and ending point, while the hike lists Berolzheim as its destination. The Adventure Tour 8: Grünkern Cycle Route follows the valley of the Eubigheimer Bach for several kilometers near Eubigheim.

Local history, gardens and a summer swimming pool

The former Bettendorf Castle in Ahorn was built in 1566 and extensively restored in 2009. Today it houses the municipal administration and is considered a cultural monument of particular significance. Other attractions in the municipality of Ahorn include the local history museum in Berolzheim and the Refugium with its Oriental garden in Schillingstadt. Alongside the trails, history, a museum and a garden offer further cultural options.

The family-friendly outdoor swimming pool in Ahorn welcomes visitors in summer. It offers a seasonal alternative to a day spent cycling or walking if you would like to give your holiday days different focuses.
