Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

At Pfahldöbel, the Limes is visible in Zweiflingen as a landscape feature: Between the districts of Pfahlbach and Westernbach, the rampart and ditch are clearly visible in the forest. At 280 metres long, this section is the best-preserved part of the Limes in the Hohenlohe region. There is also a seasonal highlight: In spring, Zweiflingen’s orchards blossom. If you’re looking for a place to stay with a specific cultural and landscape theme, you can think of Zweiflingen in terms of two distinct interests: the Limes at Pfahldöbel and the spring blossom.

The Limes at Pfahldöbel

The Limes hiking trail runs past Pfahldöbel and invites you to explore. You can choose the visible section as a specific focal point for learning about the Limes, or make the named hiking trail your own focus. Both perspectives come together at Pfahldöbel: the preserved rampart and ditch in the landscape, and the connection to a hiking route. This makes it a clear choice for a stay focused on visible traces and a historical theme.

Spring blossom and golf in the municipality

The orchard blossom offers a different highlight, making spring a clear seasonal focal point. If you take the time of year into account when planning your trip, it gives you a specific reason to consider Zweiflingen in spring. As another, separate activity, there is golf in Friedrichsruhe, a district of Zweiflingen: it has a golf course with 27 holes. The number of holes may change; if golf is important to your plans, check the latest course details before travelling. The Limes hiking trail and golf appeal to different interests, making it easier to decide whether to focus on culture and exercise along a route or on golf.

The Hohenlohe district: regional perspectives

The Hohenlohe district offers a broader regional context for other travel decisions. It has numerous cycling routes for exploring the region. Cyclists experience the rolling Hohenlohe landscape, framed by the deeply incised river valleys of the Kocher, Jagst and Ohrn. These cycling routes and the description of the landscape offer a regional perspective that differs from the specific view of Pfahldöbel in Zweiflingen.

The Limes is also a broader theme in the Hohenlohe district: it runs in a straight line through the district. Three Limes viewing platforms offer expansive views across the landscape. At Pfahldöbel, the visible traces take centre stage; from the platforms, the focus is on the landscape. The region therefore offers different perspectives on the Limes and the landscape.

For a culinary highlight, visitors to the Hohenlohe district can buy and sample wine and spirits directly from Hohenlohe winegrowers and distillers. Participating businesses vary, so choose a specific provider when planning your trip.
