Although there are restaurants in Maulbronn and also in the monastery complex itself, we chose the Melanchthon town of Bretten with its picturesque old town center for refreshments....highly recommended!

The now traditional spring excursion to UNESCO World Heritage brought us to Maulbronn on Whit Saturday. The founding of this Cistercian monastery dates back to 1147, when the monks established an abbey named Mulenbrunnen at this location in the Salzbachtal valley. A legend has the following to report

Magnificent deciduous forests, a more than 800-year-old Taunus town, but above all wonderful views from the heights above the Weil valley have made this little tour a real pleasure trip. Those who don't know Weilmünster yet should take a little more time to visit the town center, but don't waste too

The Roman bath in Badenweiler was probably built at the beginning of the 2nd century AD and is today considered the most important known Roman bath north of the Alps. After the Romans withdrew from Germania, the complex fell into disrepair during the Middle Ages up to the early modern period, or the

Laufenburg, which once existed as a town, was first mentioned in documents in 1173 as a donation from the monastery of Bad Säckingen to the Habsburgs. In the Peace of Lunéville, Napoleon forced the separation of the left-bank territories from the Habsburg Empire, and from then on the town was divided

The Roman colony Augusta Raurica was founded in 44 BC, originally presumably for veterans of the Roman military. In its heyday, the colony housed approx. 15,000 inhabitants.
The small museum is divided into two parts and houses, on the one hand, temporary exhibitions – during our visit “Das perfekte Dinner

Today we continued our after-work project „Immer an der Usa lang“ (Always along the Usa). We had already covered the first half of the route in small after-work portions last year, coming from the source of the river above Neu-Anspach to the Vogeltal parking lot near Langenhain-Ziegenberg. In three more

Herbstein is probably best known for its Springertanz (spring dance) on Rosenmontag, which leads for four (!) hours through the old town alleys around the Catholic parish church of St. Jakobus. But you can also hike around the small town, especially if you love paths with wide views. Because the Hohe

The 11th stage of the Riedweg will again lead you through completely unknown territory, largely through the Lußhardt forest area. When planning the entire route, it turned out that there is not only a direct bus connection between Kirrlach and Forst, but that this bus line also runs twice an hour throughout

The exciting question today was whether Mönchsweg 2 – as happened on Mönchsweg 1 – would be closed due to path/forest work. No, it wasn't, the mysterious time signs could be explored in one go.
As on all time sign trails, there was also plenty to learn about the past on this route: However, the trail

From the deep green heights of the Eifel back to the flat land of the Ried today – what a difference! But that's not the only thing that's different. What has just begun to bloom in the Eifel has already passed its prime here, like the meadows in the Eifel still bursting with blooming dandelions, while

Today there is a top public transport connection from the destination to the starting point, so the car can take a break, so to speak. Not so the legs, which are already "looking forward" to a crisp climb towards the end of the stage. The forest near Raffelsbrand has something sinister, menacing, which

Like all Hiwwel tours that do their rounds in Rheinhessen, this one, with its start and end point in Tiefenthal, is also a real feast for the eyes when it comes to great views of the Rhenish-Hessian hilly landscape. However, the claim – as stated on the official website of the tour – that this tour is
