Hartheim am Rhein can be considered for trip planning as a destination between nature and culture: Nearby, activities along the Old Rhine and in the Rhine Forest are available, while the church and Zum Salmen provide cultural and historical points of interest in the town.
Finding Your Way Along the Rhine
From Hartheim’s town center, follow Rheinstraße toward the Rhine. The fallow deer enclosure in the Rhine Forest is opposite the forestry office; it covers about two hectares. This provides both specific directions and a clearly identified destination to help you find your way around the area.
Walks and Activities Nearby
The Old Rhine near the destination is suitable for leisurely walks, hiking, cycling, jogging, and walking. An exploratory boat trip on the Old Rhine is a special experience. The extensive Rhine Forest also has cycling and hiking trails. These leisure activities vary in both pace and type of exploration: Along the Old Rhine, options range from walks to boat trips, while the Rhine Forest combines its woodland setting with cycling and hiking trails.
The Church and the History of Zum Salmen
The new Church of St. Peter and Paul was consecrated in 1872. Another cultural and historical thread leads to the former village inn “Zum Salmen” in Hartheim am Rhein: Dietrich Schwanitz bought it in 2001, and a memorial site opened there in 2011. These years mark different stages in the building’s history—the purchase of the former inn and the later opening of the memorial site.
An artistic detail is also part of Zum Salmen: The stage, painted by Andrea Berthel, features a Shakespearean celebration at its center, modeled on a work by Paolo Veronese. While the church’s consecration provides a clear historical date, Zum Salmen links the history of a former village inn with remembrance and stage art.
