Discover Gosheim: Church, Jurabad and Lemberg

A landmark and Gosheim’s oldest building

The tower of Heilig-Kreuz Church has been Gosheim’s landmark since the 16th century. The church is also the oldest surviving building in the municipality. Colourful stained-glass windows depict scenes from the history of salvation; in the past, they told biblical stories. A visit therefore combines architecture with a vivid form of religious tradition. Anyone interested in local history will find a tangible starting point here for getting to know Gosheim beyond its leisure activities.

Exercise between Gosheim and Wehingen

Built in 2021, the fitness trail connects Gosheim and Wehingen as a walking and cycling route of around three kilometres. Its approximate length and the two stated ways of getting around provide a practical guide for planning your day. If you would rather combine sporting activities with a clear training goal, you might be interested in Ski-Club Gosheim: it offers extensive training for children and young people who want to take part in biathlon as a competitive sport. If you are considering taking part, ask the club directly about current options.

Water, play and a break by the shore

Jurabad has a pleasantly heated swimming pool and a particularly warm children’s pool. A sauna, infrared cabin and plunge pool round out the facilities. This means there are different areas for swimming and warming up, rather than a visit having to focus solely on swimming. There are also three playgrounds for play and exercise.

Hinterhaldenteich offers a different kind of experience: benches line the short path along the shore, and a mown meadow on the north bank is a place to sunbathe. You can combine active outings, a visit to Jurabad and a quieter break at different spots in Gosheim when planning your day.

Lemberg and the wider landscape

Lemberg lies around two kilometres north of Gosheim’s town centre. At 1,015 metres above sea level, it is the highest mountain in the Swabian Jura. Its tower is open at all times and can be climbed in suitable weather. From the top, the view stretches to the Black Forest and the Neckar region; on a clear day, it extends across the Swabian Jura plateau to the Alps. The weather and visibility therefore determine what you can experience from this viewpoint.

The wider travel destination of Tuttlingen extends beyond Gosheim: the Tuttlingen district covers 734.4 square kilometres and includes the southwestern foothills of the Swabian Jura, parts of the Baar region and the valley of the Young Danube. In its northern part are juniper heaths and the “10-thousanders” region, with ten mountains over 1,000 metres high. These details describe the district, not specific features of Gosheim, and illustrate the diversity of the wider region.

Choose Gosheim as your base

If Heilig-Kreuz Church, Jurabad, Hinterhaldenteich or the fitness trail are your main points of interest, Gosheim is a natural place to look for a holiday apartment. If you would also like to explore the landscapes of the Tuttlingen district, consider this broader focus when choosing where to stay.
