The 23.89-kilometre Brigachtal Route provides a clear focus for a cycling trip; the local history museum, history trail and cultural programme at St. Martin offer other ways to explore local history and culture. This gives you several formats to consider when planning your trip: a circular route, information boards, collection items and an event date.
Cycling the Brigachtal Route
The Brigachtal Route is a 23.89-kilometre circular route. It begins at the Ringzug stop in Brigachtal-Klengen, follows the Brigach towards Beckhofen and then continues towards the Breg.
In the Plattenmoos nature reserve, the route follows a well-maintained gravel path towards the forest. Another section runs along a well-developed path beside the railway towards Beckhofen, following the history trail.
The route is considered suitable for cycling with children. This assessment depends on current route conditions; check the state of the path before setting out. As access in Plattenmoos may vary seasonally, also check the local situation.
Local history at the museum and along the history trail
The local history museum displays craft and farming tools as well as household items from around 1900. Bringing together work tools and household objects, the collection offers insight into both craft and agricultural activities and everyday domestic life.
The museum also displays archaeological finds from the Brigach area associated with Roman settlement and Merovingian grave goods. The collection thus brings together everyday and work-related objects from around 1900 with archaeological links to earlier settlement and burial contexts.
The Brigachtal History Trail offers another way to explore local history: twelve information boards accompany a circular walk. The opening of the history trail was reported in September 2025; check on site whether the signs are still legible.
Those who prefer to explore local history through objects can visit the collection at the local history museum; the history trail focuses on information boards along a circular walk.
Cultural programme at St. Martin
St. Martin hosts the annual Cultural Autumn, featuring concerts. The individual events vary, so check the dates against your stay if you are planning to attend a concert. Exhibitions of Christian art are also held occasionally at St. Martin.

Brigachtal-Klengen has a railway station with published timetables and live departure and arrival information. Check the details for your travel date. The Brigachtal Route starts at the Ringzug stop in Brigachtal-Klengen; if you plan to combine the route with a train journey, compare the current train times with your planned start time.
