Dielheim offers some specific starting points for planning a holiday: a cycling route that passes through the town, a local history first documented at an early date, and supervised climbing for children and young people. You can choose the focus that suits you—cycling, local history or a clearly defined activity session.

Cycling the Leimbach Route

The 46-kilometre Leimbach Route opened in May 2015. It starts at Sinsheim-Hoffenheim station and runs away from busy roads through Dielheim, Wiesloch, Leimen and Schwetzingen to the Rhine. Its length and route provide a useful reference if cycling is a factor in choosing where to spend your holiday. Before setting out, it is worth checking the current route conditions and status.

Local history and architecture

Dielheim is first mentioned in a document in the Lorsch Codex in 767. Another historical landmark is the Catholic church, which dates from 1784. Its Gothic choir tower now serves only as a bell tower. The early documentary mention and the church offer distinct, clearly dated points of interest in the town’s history.

A climbing session for young adventurers

Supervised climbing on the ranko®-wall is offered at Kelterhalle Dielheim on Wednesdays from 4 to 6 p.m. for children and young people aged 5 to 16. The age range and set time give families who want to plan a climbing session a clear point of reference for their day.

The SportPark is an open facility. In principle, its areas can be used from morning to evening by Dielheim residents, clubs and organised groups.

More to explore in the Rhein-Neckar district

The wider travel destination of the Rhein-Neckar district offers a variety of cultural highlights. Schwetzingen Palace, once the residence of the prince-electors, has a Rococo theatre and a world-famous park. In Ladenburg’s historic town centre, much of the townscape still reflects the Middle Ages and, in part, Roman times. Sections of the former town wall and defensive towers have been preserved in Wiesloch.

The Rhein-Neckar district also offers a range of activities for an active holiday: Eberbach has 150 kilometres of marked hiking trails. At Waidsee lake in Weinheim, there are areas for paddlers, sailors and windsurfers; at the bathing lake in St. Leon, water skiing and wakeboarding are available on a cable system. The Bergstraße and the eastern part of the Rhein-Neckar district lie within the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park.

When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider which themes matter most for your trip: the Leimbach Route, local history and climbing in Dielheim, or other cultural, hiking and water-sports activities in the wider Rhein-Neckar district. This lets you choose your holiday destination based on the experiences that interest you most.
