Remshalden: Routes, Museums and Local History
Accommodation in Remshalden
Remshalden offers a range of options to shape your trip: cycling tours, hiking trails, geological themes and local history. The routes vary in length, course and subject. You can decide whether a longer cycling tour, a shorter circular walk or the history of the local districts will shape your stay.
Compare Cycling Tours and Hiking Trails
The Remshalden 1000 cycling tour covers 48 kilometres through Remshalden and includes more than 1,000 metres of elevation gain. Both stages start at BĂĽrgerpark Remshalden. Distance and elevation gain describe different aspects of the tour: its length and the changes in elevation along the route.
The RH2 circular trail, the panoramic route above BĂĽrgerpark, starts at the park near the Neue Kelter in Grunbach and is 2.4 kilometres long. The RH1 nature trail passes through Rohrbronn and measures 4.6 kilometres. RH2 is 2.2 kilometres shorter; the trails also have different themes, with the panoramic route taking centre stage on one and the nature trail on the other.
The Remshalden Geological Trail runs from the southern slope of the Rems Valley near Remshalden-Grunbach over the Buocher Höhe. Its route offers another way to explore the landscape between Grunbach and the Buocher Höhe. Together, the routes show how cycling tours, circular walks and geological trails can each fit differently into your travel plans.
Local History and Museums in Grunbach and Buoch
Historic walking tours pass through the Remshalden districts of Grunbach and Buoch. Information boards explain the history of notable older buildings. On the historic walking tour in Grunbach, the MUSEUM REMSHALDEN is one of twelve stops. This gives you a chance to encounter local history and the museum’s subject at a specific point along the route.
The Museum im Hirsch features the permanent exhibition “Poets and Painters in Buoch”. It includes mementos of, among others, Eduard Hiller and Karl Fuchs, who lived in Buoch around the turn of the century. In addition to inventions, the Museum Remshalden focuses on the private and public history of aircraft designer and aviation pioneer Ernst Heinkel. He was born and buried in Grunbach. The two museums therefore offer different perspectives: the exhibition in Buoch commemorates poets and painters, while the Museum Remshalden explores Heinkel’s inventions and life story.
Baking Traditions and Regional Routes
The communal bakehouses are also part of local tradition. Bread and Salzkuchen are regularly baked according to age-old traditions in Remshalden’s districts. This culinary connection adds another aspect of local life to the routes and museums.
In the wider destination of the Rems-Murr district, you can also explore regional routes. The Rems-Murr hiking trail is 50 kilometres long and can be hiked in three stages from Endersbach via Winnenden to Murrhardt. The entire trail is well connected by local public transport, so you do not need a car to get there. The route navigation can be downloaded to a smartphone. Check the latest connections for your journey.
The Remstal Cycle Route is also part of the wider Rems-Murr district destination. It is around 106 kilometres long, starts at Endersbach station in Weinstadt and runs via Kernen and Fellbach towards Remseck am Neckar. By comparison, the 48-kilometre Remshalden 1000 cycling tour is a shorter route rooted in the local area. These figures help distinguish a tour through Remshalden from a longer regional cycling route.
