Local History and Literature
The Schefflenz Local History Museum in the village of Unterschefflenz showcases life and work around 1900. Its exhibits come exclusively from the Schefflenz Valley. The museum also conveys an impression of the way village residents lived over two centuries. Anyone interested in regional everyday history will find a tangible glimpse here of life and work in the area in earlier times.
The Augusta Bender Literature Museum offers a different cultural perspective: across five stations, it tells the writer's life story. You can also explore this connection outdoors. Nineteen story locations invite you to follow in Augusta Bender's footsteps through Oberschefflenz. This offers two different ways to discover the area: exploring objects and village life at the local history museum, or following a writer and her story locations.
Outdoor Swimming and Activities in the Schefflenz Valley
The outdoor swimming pool in Unterschefflenz offers a variety of water areas and attractions. The large pool has a wave bay, massage jets and a slide; there is also a shallow area for non-swimmers. A children's pool with a slide and water features is specially designed for toddlers. For families who want to include swimming in their stay, these areas are a useful point of reference when planning the day.
If you prefer to be outdoors, you can explore the Schefflenz Valley on foot. The 19 story locations in Oberschefflenz offer a literary connection; you can also explore the valley's landscape on foot independently of them. You can explore the Schefflenz Valley by bicycle or car as well. Which option suits your stay depends on whether you want to focus on exercise, the story locations or exploring by vehicle.
