Korb offers a range of ways to enjoy a stay: vineyard walks on the Korber Kopf, the fruit-tree trail in Dornhau, art in the Protestant Church and the Way of St. James, which passes through several towns. If you are looking for accommodation in Korb, you can choose what to focus on based on these interests: a walk through vineyards, a visit focused on church history, or a section of a longer route. The wider Rems-Murr district offers further distinct hiking, cultural and culinary experiences.
Vineyards, Fruit-Tree Trail and Paragliding Launch Site
You can take a walk through the vineyards on the Korber Kopf. The slope of the Kleinheppacher Kopf offers another activity: it has a launch site for paragliders. The fruit-tree trail in Dornhau is located between Korb and Schwaikheim, within Korb’s municipal area. Its name highlights fruit trees, making it a different aspect of the landscape from the vineyard walk. When choosing between these activities, you can be guided by what you would like to do: walk through the vineyards, paraglide from the launch site, or explore the fruit-tree trail.
Church History and the Way of St. James
The Protestant Church in Korb has a Gothic window and a valuable crucifix from the early Gothic chapel, which was converted into a church in 1500. The Way of St. James runs from Winnenden through Korb to Endersbach. Unlike the locally named walking options, it is described as a route that passes through several towns. Korb therefore offers both individual scenic destinations and a stretch of a route connecting Winnenden and Endersbach.
Hiking and Cycling in the Rems-Murr District
In the wider Rems-Murr district, the Rems-Murr hiking trail is 50 kilometres long and can be hiked in three stages, from Endersbach via Winnenden to Murrhardt. The entire route is well served by public transport, so you do not need a car to get there. Transport services may change, so check connections before your trip. The hiking trail’s route navigation can be downloaded to a smartphone.
The Remstal Cycle Path is around 106 kilometres long. It starts at Endersbach station in Weinstadt and runs via Kernen and Fellbach towards Remseck am Neckar. Its length and route type distinguish it from the three-stage hiking trail: these details give you different ways to plan a cycling route or a hike.
Seasonal Tours and Regional Culture
The seasonal Limesbus Nord, route 372, makes it possible to hike to UNESCO World Heritage Limes sites in the Rems-Murr district or take part in tours led by the Limes Cicerones. From May until the penultimate Sunday in October, it runs on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from Murrhardt via Grab and GroĂźerlach to Mainhardt and back. Check the current operating days and dates before travelling.
Cultural attractions in the Rems-Murr district also offer a variety of experiences. In Murrhardt, a night watchman tells stories and legends by torchlight; the activity is also suitable for children, who can bring lanterns. Confirm availability locally. Historical tours in Backnang follow in the footsteps of the margraves and visit St. Pancras Collegiate Church, where the burial place of the Margraves of Baden is located.
In Fellbach, a city walk takes you through the town centre to historic landmarks and award-winning architecture. The Fellbach winegrowers offer wine tastings, cellar tours and a snack at the Neue Kelter; check availability in advance. At the annual wine gathering at the Alte Kelter in Fellbach, numerous wine producers and other food and drink artisans from the Remstal-Stuttgart region present their products. Check current dates, as details of future events may change.
