Muggensturm: Forest, Art and Cycling Routes

Muggensturm combines history in its townscape with experiences in the forest and countryside. During your stay, you can discover half-timbered buildings and art, enjoy outdoor activities in the municipal forest or explore the town on a cycling route. The aspects that appeal to you most can help you choose the focus of your holiday.

Local History and Art on a Walk

The Margarethenkapelle dates back to the 13th century and remains Muggensturm’s most historically significant building. It gives the town a striking historical landmark. The old town centre features well-preserved half-timbered buildings; if you are interested in historic townscapes, you can include this part of Muggensturm in your stay.

The art trail offers another way to discover the town: as you walk, you will be accompanied by many colourful works of art. This adds a distinctive touch alongside the historic buildings and half-timbered architecture. Depending on your interests, you can focus on local history and architecture or experience public art as you walk.

Municipal Forest and Nature Around Muggensturm

The 323-hectare municipal forest is a place to relax and enjoy running, walking, horse riding, hiking and cycling. There are a variety of activities to choose from, from a walk to a cycling excursion. The forest offers almost the full diversity of regional forest communities. If you like to have a range of options for exercise and relaxation in mind during your holiday, you will find several ways to enjoy them here.

The “Federbachbruch” nature reserve lies between Muggensturm and Malsch. It was designated in 1982 and is of exceptional importance. The natural surroundings are also on display along the MÖBS circular cycle route: the section through Muggensturm takes you through woodland and meadow landscapes, past streams and lakes.

Cycling Routes for Different Holiday Days

The MÖBS circular cycle route is around 40 kilometres long, passes through Muggensturm, Ötigheim, Bietigheim and Steinmauern, and runs mostly along flat stretches. This makes it suitable for families with children, too. Its approximate length and mostly flat terrain help you plan it as a day trip; they do not indicate a specific duration. If you are travelling with children, you can take its stated suitability for families as a guide.

Various routes in and around Muggensturm also invite you to explore the region on foot or by bike. Detailed route descriptions for cycling routes around the town are available for neighbouring towns, including maps as well as GPS and Google Earth routes. This gives you practical guidance when choosing and planning a cycle tour if you are considering routes beyond the MÖBS circular cycle route.

A Holiday Destination to Suit Your Interests

On the outskirts of Muggensturm, there is a leisure facility offering fun for the whole family. Along with the MÖBS circular cycle route, it is another family-friendly feature of the town.

If cycling is your main interest, the mostly flat route of the MÖBS circular cycle route and the available route descriptions are useful points of reference. For walks, hiking or other activities in the forest, the municipal forest offers its own range of options.
