If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can plan your trip around whether you want to focus on nature and outdoor activities or on culture and local history.
Explore the forest and spend time by the water
Forest trails and a forest educational trail around Waldsee Viernheim invite you to go for a walk. The forest adventure trail in Viernheim has 16 stations where visitors can experience the forest with all their senses. The stations make the forest itself the focus of the route and give the walk a special theme. Waldsee also has a children’s playground, benches and a table where you can relax and enjoy a snack. If you are travelling with children, you can combine a play break with a rest together there.
The outdoor swimming pool has a large swimming pool with diving towers, a non-swimmer pool with a wave slide, and a paddling pool. The facilities also include a sunbathing lawn, a play area and a barbecue area. As the pool is open seasonally, take its operating season into account when planning your trip.
Explore Viernheim by bike
Viernheim is particularly well suited to cycling, as its routes are short and flat. This offers a different way to enjoy an active stay from walking around Waldsee. If you enjoy cycling, you can take these route characteristics into account when choosing a holiday apartment and planning your days.
Tobacco history and family life
The barns in Viernheim town centre were used to dry tobacco in the 19th century. Tobacco continued to be grown in Viernheim until the 1920s. The history therefore spans from the work once carried out in the barns to the early 20th century.
At the Viernheim Museum, four living rooms and media stations tell the story of a Viernheim family from the 1930s to the 1980s. The exhibition covers several decades and centres on one family’s history. Together with the history of tobacco, the museum offers a different perspective on Viernheim: one focuses on family life, the other on the former use of the barns.
Plan around sporting events
The Viernheim Triathlon takes place annually in and around the Waldstadion; event dates vary. If you would like to include the triathlon in your stay, check the date for the relevant year before travelling. This will help you decide whether the event fits your travel dates.
