The Maria Hilf mountain chapel is halfway up Holzberg. It can be reached on foot from Tauberrettersheim in about 10 to 15 minutes at most. This makes the chapel a specific destination to include in your day’s plans. Together with hikes along the ridges, it offers another way to explore the landscape around the town, without combining the different trails into a single route.
Townscape and buildings
St Vitus Church is the focal point of Tauberrettersheim. The present church building was constructed between 1861 and 1869. The stone bridge, designed by Balthasar Neumann, is another striking feature of the townscape. On a stroll, you can take in the church’s central position and the bridge’s distinctive presence: the two buildings lend the town different architectural accents, each with its own story.
The houses and gardens also contribute to the impression made by a walk through Tauberrettersheim. You will see typical Franconian houses with floral decorations and lovingly tended gardens. Another clearly defined point of interest is the herb garden between Mühlenstraße and the Tauber. It covers around 40 square metres. Alongside the houses and gardens, the small herb garden offers another aspect of the town.
