Much can be explored through several distinct themes: the furnishings of St. Martinus Church provide an art-historical highlight, while the technology and farming museum in Much-Berzbach focuses on rural living and working. The municipality also offers well-marked hiking trails with routes for a range of abilities. The Bergische coffee table adds a regional culinary option. You can shape your stay around cultural history, everyday life, outdoor activity or regional cuisine.
Church furnishings at St. Martinus
St. Martinus Church contains a Romanesque baptismal font and a bell dating from the 13th century. There is also a Gothic sacrament house and a monumental crucifix from around 1270. The different style designations and dates offer several points of reference for an art-historical look at the furnishings. For travelers interested in church art, this is a distinctive cultural highlight in Much.
Rural life at the museum
The technology and farming museum in Much-Berzbach presents rural living and working from the early 19th century through the 1950s. Bringing these two themes together offers a glimpse into different aspects of everyday life. The museum therefore provides a different approach to cultural history than the furnishings at St. Martinus Church: here, the focus is on living and working, while there it is on individual objects.
Hiking trails and the Bergische coffee table
The municipality of Much offers well-marked hiking trails with varied routes for a range of abilities. When planning your hike, you can use the level of challenge you want as a starting point for choosing a route; this makes hiking an option in its own right alongside the cultural attractions.
The Bergische coffee table can be pre-ordered from many providers in the municipality of Much. If you would like to include it in your plans, arrange the pre-order directly with your chosen provider. Availability may vary by provider.
The wider area: Rhein-Sieg District
Looking beyond Much to the wider destination of Rhein-Sieg District, you’ll find four regions of tourist interest: the Siebengebirge, the Siegtal, the Bergisches Land and the Rhein-Voreifel region. The district also has tourist cycling routes through varied natural and cultural landscapes for leisure cyclists, sport cyclists and e-bike riders.
One cultural-history highlight in Rhein-Sieg District is Stadt Blankenberg. It grew out of a castle built by Counts Heinrich II and Eberhart II of Sayn on a rocky promontory above the Sieg. The local history museum is housed in the Katharinenturm, a gate tower in the new town dating from the 13th century. Another example of the district’s diversity is the Wahner Heide, which is both a local recreation area and a popular destination for day trips. Visitors should stay on marked trails, in accordance with the rules of the nature reserve.
