Rimbach offers two different reasons for an outing: the Rimbach Hiking Trail forms a loop through the area and back to its starting point, while the Lanz Museum in Rimbach-Mitterrohrbach can be visited by prior telephone appointment. This means you can choose between a route with several named places and a museum visit that must be arranged in advance. When planning your stay, you can decide whether to make the trail the focus or arrange your museum visit in advance.
Hiking trail returning to its starting point
The Rimbach Hiking Trail starts at an inn in Rimbach, leads through the area around Rimbach and ends back at the starting point. Its route takes in Sallach, St. Ulrich Church, Aichet and Döding: it passes through Sallach, goes by the church and continues via Aichet to Döding. The trail therefore starts and ends at the same point. The named places give the loop a clear sequence that you can take into account when planning your day.
St. Ulrich Church in Sallach is believed to have once been a castle church. The wording “is believed to” explicitly indicates that this classification is uncertain. For travelers interested in architectural history, the church is a cultural and historical point of interest along the hiking trail. You can combine a walk through several named places with a look at a possible former function of the church building, without treating the uncertain attribution as established history.
Arrange your museum visit in advance
For the Lanz Museum, a telephone appointment is essential: arrange your visit in advance before adding it as a fixed part of your day’s plans. This distinguishes the museum visit from the hike, whose described route loops back to its starting point. If you plan to do both, bear in mind their different planning requirements. No fixed duration is specified for either the hike or the museum visit in the information provided here; plan your time according to your own schedule and the agreed visiting time.
