Seebach offers several reasons to shape your stay around your interests: the Seebach Mountain Hike passes through several types of landscape on its way to Hohfelsen, while the “Adventure at Adlersee” brings together climbing and sliding activities. Pedal boats can be rented at Mummelsee, and Vollmer’s Mill adds a historic destination. The local offering therefore ranges from outdoor activities to a milling mill that is over 250 years old. When planning, it is helpful to consider whether a hike, individual activities or a cultural focus should shape your stay.
The Seebach Mountain Hike: from meadows to Hohfelsen
The Seebach Mountain Hike starts at Mummelseehalle in Seebach. It passes through the spa park, across orchards and through mixed forest. The route also includes the old Silbergründle mining area and ends at Hohfelsen, where there is a summit cross. The hike thus connects different landscapes and points of interest rather than sticking to a single type of trail. The orchards, forest and mining area each add their own character; at Hohfelsen, the trail ends at the summit cross.
If you are looking for a hike with varied stops, this is one option in Seebach. Its listed sections give the route a clear course: from the start at Mummelseehalle through the spa park, meadows and mixed forest to Hohfelsen. The old Silbergründle mining area adds a connection to local mining history alongside the natural sections.
Activities at Adlersee and Mummelsee
The “Adventure at Adlersee” brings together three elements: a climbing garden made of boulders, a climbing structure made of black locust wood and a slide. The two climbing areas differ in their materials and design; the slide adds another activity. The adventure at Adlersee therefore offers a different focus from the Seebach Mountain Hike: here, individual climbing and sliding activities take centre stage, while the hike passes through several types of landscape.
Visitors can rent pedal boats at Mummelsee. This offers a different focus from the mountain hike: the route passes through the spa park, orchards, mixed forest and the old mining area on its way to Hohfelsen, while pedal boating is the main activity at Mummelsee. If you are planning your time in Seebach, these differences can help you distinguish between the activities on offer.
Vollmer’s Mill as a cultural highlight
Vollmer’s Mill is a milling mill over 250 years old and a tourist attraction in the municipality of Seebach. It complements the activities focused more on movement and landscape with a historic mill theme. Seebach therefore offers different ways to explore: a hike through several landscape sections, activities at Adlersee and Mummelsee, and the old milling mill.
When choosing what to do, it may help to consider these highlights separately rather than combine them into a fixed itinerary. The mountain hike is defined by its route to Hohfelsen; the activities at Adlersee include climbing and sliding facilities, and pedal boats can be rented at Mummelsee. The mill adds a different, historic highlight. Which side of Seebach best suits your stay depends on whether you want to focus on hiking, individual activities or culture.

Other attractions in the wider destination of Ortenaukreis also offer very different experiences: Rulantica provides year-round water fun for the whole family, with numerous indoor and outdoor water attractions; it also includes the Hyggedal relaxation and sauna area.
