Lobenfeld Monastery Church is a specific cultural attraction in Lobbach. It continues to serve as the church of the Lobenfeld community and can be rented through the parish for events and concerts. If you are planning a concert or event yourself, check the current rental details directly with the parish.
In the wider region
A handcycle tour through the Kleiner Odenwald passes through the “Trees of the Year” avenue, with its variety of tree species, on the section to Reichartshausen. In Reichartshausen, the outdoor swimming pool offers a chance to cool off. If you would like to swim there, check the current opening hours in advance. This lets you include the tour section with the tree-lined avenue and a possible stop in Reichartshausen as distinct aspects of a regional itinerary.
Culture and history in the Rhein-Neckar District
Throughout the wider Rhein-Neckar District, cultural and historical attractions can be found in various locations. The Electoral Palace in Schwetzingen features a Rococo theatre and a world-famous park. In Ladenburg’s historic town center, much of the townscape is still shaped by the Middle Ages and, in part, by the Roman period. Parts of the former town wall and defensive towers have been preserved in Wiesloch. Guided tours are offered at Windeck Castle Ruins in Weinheim; coordinate a specific visit with the tour schedule. The Technik Museum Sinsheim exhibits the Concorde. These examples range from a palace and historic town center to surviving fortifications, guided tours, and a technical exhibit.
Schwetzingen is also associated with a long tradition of asparagus cultivation: asparagus has been grown there for around 350 years. This adds an agricultural and culinary theme to the cultural destinations in the Rhein-Neckar District.
Scenery and active days in the Rhein-Neckar District
The Bergstraße and the eastern part of the Rhein-Neckar District lie within the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park. Eberbach has 150 kilometers of marked hiking trails. In addition, the “Ab in den Wald” (“Into the Woods”) annual program offers free guided forest walks and excursions throughout the Rhein-Neckar District. These activities vary in format: an introduction to the landscape, a network of marked trails, and guided forest activities. Along with five other tourism destinations, the Rhein-Neckar District is part of the “Im Süden ganz oben” network, which aims to raise the profile of northern Baden-Württemberg as a travel destination.
There are also different options for water sports. At Waidsee in Weinheim, there are areas for paddlers, sailors, and windsurfers. At the St. Leon-Rot bathing lake, water skiing and wakeboarding are available on a cable system. You can therefore choose between the two locations based on the activities mentioned: areas for paddling, sailing, and windsurfing, or water skiing and wakeboarding on the cable system.
Motorsports are another focus: Hockenheimring in Hockenheim is a major attraction for motorsports fans. It adds a distinct theme to the culture, scenery, and water activities of the wider destination.
