View of the Karlsruhe Bridge over the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Maxau Rhine bridges provide the road and rail transport connection between the Baden-Württemberg city of Karlsruhe and the Rhineland-Palatinate city of Wörth. The view of the Rhine is always worth a trip 🙂

Embankment Terraces on the Rhine at Hofgut Maxau

In 2012, a six-level viewing terrace with a view of the Rhine was built here. In addition, six smaller seating platforms were built on the dam terraces.

Hofgut Maxau — playground, farm shop and cafe

Highlight • Cafe

The farm is 172 hectares in size and borders the Rhine. It has been farmed for over 170 years. Today also to preserve the now protected cultural landscape.
On the western side of the farm is the Hofgut Maxau guest house.
A large playground, a farm shop, orchards, a museum, pastures with open-air cattle and a grandstand on the dam with a view of the Rhine and the Rhine bridges - so there is plenty of variety.
Further information, such as opening times etc. here: hofgutmaxau.de
The parking lot is always too small. But you can easily reach the farm via the "Maxau" stop on the S-Bahn.
The Knielinger See (largely a nature reserve) is located directly behind the farm. I can recommend walking around the lake with a detour to the Rhine harbor. Or you can walk along the Rhine to the Rhine harbor past the Tulla monument.
