オッペンヴァイラーのおすすめツーリングルート

南ドイツで最も美しい歴史的な旧市街の1つと見なされており、部分的に保存されている市壁、数多くの塔、屋根付きの木造橋、そして多くの階段や「Stäffele」とともに、ほとんど変わらない中世の路地は、印象的な街並みを形成しています。木組み、ルネサンス、バロック様式の壮麗な建物に囲まれたマーケット広場は、建築の宝です。バロック様式のアドエルパレのスタイルで建てられた市庁舎の向かいには、壮大な外階段を持つロマネスク・ゴシック様式の聖ミヒャエル教会がそびえ立っています。まさに壮麗で息をのむようです。

Hammerschmiede

Very nice.

From the elevated position around Maienfels Castle, a wide, atmospheric view opens up into the Brettach Valley – with rolling hills, orchards, and small hamlets that blend harmoniously into the landscape. Especially on a clear day or in the golden evening light, a panorama unfolds that invites you to linger and marvel.

Directly below Maienfels Castle lies the Protestant Castle Church – a Gothic-influenced religious building dating back to 1433. In 1613, the former castle chapel was converted into a church and is still connected to the castle today via a path through the castle wall. The church impresses with its horseshoe gallery, tracery windows, and Art Nouveau furnishings. Particularly noteworthy are the late Impressionist altarpiece "Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at Jacob's Well" by Ernst H. Graeser and the small bell tower with its Italian-style cap.

Maienfels Castle towers high above the Brettach Valley – a medieval hilltop castle dating back to the 13th century, which is still largely intact today. The impressive half-timbered structure of the Gemming Palace is visible from afar and lends the town a fairytale feel. The castle is privately owned but can be visited in the courtyard when the gate is open.

Old Town

A magnificent view of the monastery complex from the Kocher Valley. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for a visit.
