Etgert: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Etgert has been part of the Mark Thalfang since the 12th century. Searching for a holiday apartment to rent in Etgert can be combined with exploring the history, nature, and routes in the surrounding area.

History and Culture

The red lion in Etgert’s coat of arms represents the Wild- and Rhinegraves. The oak leaves in the coat of arms refer to an old oak tree at the entrance to the village and, at the same time, to the oak forests surrounding the cultivated land. The Etgertersägemühle lies north of Etgert and is listed as a cultural monument.

The Ausonius Trail follows the traces of a Roman connecting road and passes numerous Roman artefacts. The Ausonius Trail is usually completed in six stages.
