Discover Remshalden: Trails, Museums and Baking Traditions

Cycling and Hiking Routes with Different Focal Points

The Remshalden 1000 cycling tour covers 48 kilometres through Remshalden and includes more than 1,000 metres of elevation gain. Both stages start at Remshalden Civic Park. Check local notices for temporary conditions before setting out. This will help you keep track of the specific tour details as well as any possible changes along the way.

There are also walking routes with a range of themes. The Remshalden Geological Trail runs from the southern slope of the Rems Valley near Remshalden-Grunbach over the Buocher Höhe. The RH2 loop, the panoramic trail above the civic park, starts at the civic park near the Neue Kelter in Grunbach and is 2.4 kilometres long. The RH1 nature trail passes through Rohrbronn and measures 4.6 kilometres. This means RH1 is 2.2 kilometres longer than RH2. You can compare the routes by length and by whether they are a panoramic trail, nature trail or geological trail.

Local History on Walking Tours

Historical walking tours pass through the Remshalden districts of Grunbach and Buoch. Information panels explain the history of notable older buildings and give the routes a clear connection to local history. In Grunbach, MUSEUM REMSHALDEN is one of the twelve stops on the historical walking tour. This lets you encounter the buildings and museum in their historical context, while Buoch is also one of the places included in the historical tours.

Museums with Different Themes

The Museum im Hirsch in Remshalden-Buoch features the permanent exhibition “Poets and Painters in Buoch.” It presents memories of, among others, Eduard Hiller and Karl Fuchs, who lived in Buoch around the turn of the century. The exhibition title points to its local connection: the memories of these two figures are linked to Buoch.

Alongside inventions, the Remshalden Museum presents the private and public history of aircraft designer and aviation pioneer Ernst Heinkel. He was born and buried in Grunbach. Together, the museum themes offer different perspectives on local history: in Buoch, the focus is on poets and painters; in Grunbach, on Heinkel’s life and inventions. This adds art and technology history to the impressions gained from the historical walking tours.

Baking Traditions and Wine

In the Remshalden districts, bread and Salzkuchen are regularly baked in the bakehouses according to old traditions. This baking tradition adds a food-related aspect of local culture to the trails and museums. Wine is also part of Remshalden: in October 2023, W. Häfner Winery in Remshalden-Geradstetten was listed among the Remstal wineries bearing the “Weinsüden Winzer” seal. These two examples offer a glimpse of different sides of local life without describing the same kind of experience.

Choose a Focus for Your Stay in a Holiday Apartment

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Remshalden, your preferred daily activities can be a good starting point. For a cycling-focused stay, the civic park is the starting point for both stages of the Remshalden 1000 tour. If you are interested in local history, the walking tours through Grunbach and Buoch and the museum themes mentioned above are key highlights. First consider whether you would rather spend your holiday exploring cycling and hiking routes, historic districts, or art and technology history.
