Tips

Michael (Wasi)

July 19, 2025

The stairs to St. Michael's Chapel in Gundelsheim are currently closed because a wall collapsed onto the path, blocking access for safety reasons. The climb via the so-called "Himmelreich" (Heavenly Kingdom) is impressive, but not currently recommended.

Hiker's tip: It's better to use the signposted alternative routes, such as the "Neue Steige" (New Trail) from the Böttingen village exit – this way you can reach the chapel safely and still enjoy the view.

Difficult ascent towards Michaeliskirche. Great views of the Neckar, across the Teutonic Order Castle to the barrage.
