Church History and Heidenhäuser
Biederbach was first mentioned as a church location in 1360. St. Mansuetus Parish Church stands in Kirchhöf in Oberbiederbach, in a prominent location. There is also a chapel in the hamlet of Schultishof within the municipality. Local church history thus includes both the early mention of Biederbach as a church location and specific buildings in different named places.
Traditional Black Forest farmhouses of the Heidenhaus type are part of the region’s rural architectural history. Only a few have survived unchanged despite modern alterations. To understand this building style, both its continued existence and the rarity of individual houses remaining unaltered matter. The architectural history here is not only about a traditional building style, but also about how these buildings have changed.
Hiking with Black Forest Treats
The Biederbach Tapas Tour combines a hike with visits from one inn to another and small Black Forest bites. The tour’s chefs create the tapas seasonally. The tour thus brings walking and stopping for a meal together in one outing. This sets it apart from a hike focused solely on the landscape and makes it a distinct way to add a culinary focus to your stay.
