Discover Rehling
Accommodation in Rehling
Rehling combines botanical discoveries with historic places and opportunities for walks. The Daylily Field is especially striking in June, while Scherneck Castle offers different attractions with its beer gardens, events and lime-tree avenue. The parish church also tells the story of the town through its year of construction and dedications. You can plan your trip around whichever experience interests you most.
Nature at the Daylily Field
The Daylily Field’s floodplain meadow lies within the municipality. It blooms in June and attracts numerous visitors each year who are interested in botanical treasures. Various orchid species grow there alongside daylilies. The meadow thus combines a clearly defined flowering season with a diverse range of plant life.
If you would like to include the Daylily Field in your travel plans, June is the best guide to the daylilies’ flowering period. The orchid species are another botanical feature of the field. This lets you connect the question of when to travel with an interest in plant diversity, without treating nature experiences and cultural events as one and the same.
Scherneck Castle: walks and events
Scherneck Castle has two beer gardens. A visit can be combined with hiking or a walk along the lime-tree avenue. This makes for a combination of refreshments and exercise that you can fit into your day’s plans. The Scherneck Castle Brewery has been in operation since 1719, providing another historical point of reference.
Annual events are held at Scherneck Castle, including concerts and a medieval market. The specific program varies. If you would like to combine your visit with an event, check the relevant dates. For a walk, the lime-tree avenue offers a point of interest in its own right. The different options make Scherneck Castle a choice between a leisurely stroll, a stop for refreshments and an event on the calendar.
Church and history
Rehling’s parish church was built in 1793 and is dedicated to Saint Vitus and Saint Catherine. Its year of construction and the two patron saints give the town its own connection to church history. Together with the castle brewery, which has been in operation since 1719, these provide two distinct historical points in time: one at Scherneck Castle, the other at Rehling’s parish church.
Further cultural sites are located in the wider Aichach-Friedberg travel destination. In Friedberg, the pilgrimage church of Herrgottsruh was built between 1731 and 1753; it is one of the finest works of Bavarian Rococo. Friedberg’s Wittelsbach Castle originated as a high medieval castle built around 1257 under Duke Ludwig II the Strict. In Aichach, the Wittelsbach Museum is housed in the Lower Gate, while the Town Museum tells the story of the town. These places offer their own themes for exploring Aichach-Friedberg’s culture and should be distinguished from the sights in Rehling.
Hiking and planning the right trip
The circular hike “Across the Daylily Field to Scherneck” starts in Rehling-St. Stephan and follows only paved and surfaced roads and paths. If you plan to take this route, factor in the described surface when deciding and check the current route before setting out. This lets you consider the hike as a separate part of your plans alongside a visit to the Daylily Field or Scherneck Castle, without needing to combine them into one outing.
The wider Aichach-Friedberg travel destination also offers hiking options of a different length. The Paartal Hiking Trail follows the middle Paar from Aichach to Gut Schenkenau in the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen and is 36.8 kilometers long in total. For shorter outings or routes of a different kind, the brochure “Hiking in Aichach – The Most Beautiful Walks Around Aichach” presents 15 walks and hiking trails in and around Aichach. The two options differ in how their length is specified: the Paartal Hiking Trail has a stated total distance, while the brochure brings together various walks and trails.
When choosing a vacation rental in Rehling, you can consider whether the flowering season at the Daylily Field, a walk along the lime-tree avenue, castle events or the parish church is your main priority. If your trip also includes cultural or hiking interests elsewhere in the wider Aichach-Friedberg travel destination, those places and trails are separate points to plan around.
