Discover Thiersheim

Hiking in Thiersheim

The Kothigenbibersbach hiking and nature trail is about 4.9 kilometres long and includes twelve stations. These include a mineral spring, a wildlife enclosure and a forest inn. The length and number of stations give the tour a clear framework; the named points represent different things to see along the way. When planning your day, you can take both the distance and the stations into account and fit in your own breaks.

Well-marked hiking trails are also among the activities in Thiersheim. This gives you a choice between a route described by its approximate length and stations, and other hiking trails. If you are planning several days, you can decide whether to make a hike the main focus or include other local attractions as well. If you have several interests, this distinction can help you plan your days around your own preferences.

Themed trails and sights

The “Path of Encouragement,” a themed trail in the village, offers another way to discover Thiersheim. Sights also include information boards from the “Stone Chronicle.” As well as hiking trails, you can therefore include themed attractions in your plans.

You can choose your focus based on what you and your fellow travellers are curious about during your holiday.

An Apple and Garden Market is held in Thiersheim every year. If the market is important to your trip, take its date into account when choosing when to travel. The date and venue may vary, so check the latest information before including the market as a set part of your itinerary.
