Kneipp Pool Kirchehrenbach

Highlight • Rest Area

On the road, from Kirchehrenbach, up to Walberla is located at the end of the village, the small Kneipp facility on the left.
In 2015, the plant was renovated and now shines in new splendor. There is a small Wassertretbecken and a Armbadebecken.
The plant is fed directly from a spring there.
In the summer months (especially on weekends), the resort, by the many hikers, well used.

View of Kirchehrenbach from the Pre-Summit Cross

Highlight • Viewpoint

After the first steep section there is a summit cross with two benches on the foothills. The view over the vast country is fantastic and Kirchehrenbach is at your feet.

St. Walburga's Chapel and Statue, Walberla Plateau

Highlight • Religious Site

The Walburgis Chapel, which was first mentioned around 1350 and was built in its present form in 1697, probably gave the mountain its name. The bronze statue of Saint Walburga, which stands in front of the chapel and was inaugurated in 2000, is very striking.

Reconstructed Celtic Rampart on Walberla

Highlight • Historical Site

Here is the reconstruction of a section of a Celtic ring wall system. As with the nature trail, very beautiful and interesting display boards have also been installed here.

Rodenstein

Highlight • Summit

The summit of the Ehrenbürg has two crests: the Walberla in the north (the name is often used in the vernacular for the whole Ehrenbürg) and the Rodenstein in the south. So, when you're here, it's actually time to pay a visit to both and enjoy the magnificent views twice!
