Allmersbach im Tal combines specific hiking options with local history and a cultural programme organised by volunteers. To plan your stay, you can choose whether you want to focus on hiking, explore architectural history or plan around an event date.
Hiking: Distance, Accessibility and Signposting
Since 23 April 2023, Allmersbach im Tal has had an inclusive circular hiking trail suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pushchairs. The 6.5-kilometre ErlebnisStationenPfad (Experience Stations Trail) is also a circular route, running around Heutensbach, a district of Allmersbach im Tal. The details answer different questions: the inclusive trail is defined by the user groups it accommodates, while the ErlebnisStationenPfad is described by its length and route.
The signposted Schützenhausweg passes by the Sommerrain nature reserve. A visit to the reserve is recommended for orchid enthusiasts. If you are interested in these plants, this gives you a specific botanical point of interest along the route.
In 2018, a standardised hiking sign system from the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park was installed for circular and permanent hiking trails, as well as the Way of St James and the “’s Äpple” landscape trail in the Allmersbach district. The 78 main signposts give place names and distances, while the 351 intermediate signposts display hiking symbols. The signposting therefore combines directions to places and distances with markings for the hiking trails.
Churches and Culture in the Town
The small church in the town centre was once dedicated to Saints Anne, Catherine and Margaret. Its chancel is late Gothic, while the nave dates from the Baroque period. Its former dedication and the different periods of its construction offer two points of interest for exploring local history.
When planning your visit, note the access restriction at St Martin’s Church: it is open only during services. Take this into account when planning a visit.
The civic initiative Kultur im Tal has been working on a voluntary basis for Allmersbach im Tal, Auenwald and Weissach im Tal since 2023. It organises around ten events a year. The programme includes a range of musical styles, such as classical, rock, pop and jazz, as well as readings, art exhibitions and special events for families. If you want to plan your stay around an event, check the relevant programme and event dates in advance.
Further Afield in the Wider Rems-Murr District
The 50-kilometre Rems-Murr hiking trail is a longer-distance route in the Rems-Murr district. It can be hiked in three stages from Endersbach via Winnenden to Murrhardt. Route navigation can be downloaded to a smartphone; the trail is well served by public transport, so you do not need a car to get there. For planning specific stages, it is a good idea to check public transport connections.
Another seasonal option in the Rems-Murr district is the Limesbus Nord, route 372. It runs from May until the penultimate Sunday in October on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, travelling from Murrhardt via Grab and Großerlach to Mainhardt and back. The Limesbus makes it possible to hike to sites along the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Limes or join guided tours led by Limes Cicerones. Before travelling, check the current operating days and confirm the availability of guided tours locally.
