Discover Lobbach

Lobbach and regional themes

Lobbach combines a local cultural connection with other themes across the wider destination of the Rhein-Neckar District. For your planning, it is worth distinguishing between them: Lobenfeld Monastery Church is part of the local connection, while destinations in different towns each have their own focus.

Lobenfeld Monastery Church remains the church of the municipality of Lobenfeld. It can be rented through the parish for events and concerts. If you are planning an event there, confirm the current details directly with the parish.

Nature, activity, and water

In the wider region, the section of the handbike tour through the Kleiner Odenwald leading to Reichartshausen passes through the “Trees of the Year” avenue. Various tree species grow there. Reichartshausen’s outdoor swimming pool offers a chance to cool off. If you are planning a visit, check the current opening hours beforehand.

In the Rhein-Neckar District, the Bergstraße and its eastern part are both within the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park. Eberbach has 150 kilometers of marked trails for hiking. The annual “Ab in den Wald” program offers another way to discover the forest, with free guided forest walks and excursions throughout the Rhein-Neckar District. This gives you a choice between a network of marked trails and guided nature activities.

Water-based activities also vary from place to place. At Lake Waidsee in Weinheim, there are areas for paddlers, sailors, and windsurfers. At Lake St. Leon-Rot, water skiing and wakeboarding are available on a cable tow. If you are planning your trip around a specific activity, you will find different options here rather than a single, uniform range of water sports.

Culture, history, and special interests

Ladenburg, Wiesloch, and Schwetzingen offer different ways to explore the history of the Rhein-Neckar District. In Ladenburg’s historic town center, large parts of the townscape are still shaped by the Middle Ages and, in some places, by Roman times. Parts of the former town wall and defensive towers remain in Wiesloch. The Electoral Palace in Schwetzingen features a Rococo theater and a world-famous park. These examples range from a historic town center and preserved fortifications to a palace and park.

Asparagus is also part of Schwetzingen’s regional history: it has been grown there for around 350 years. This connects a culinary association with the cultural destination of the palace, without treating the two as one and the same.

Other interests lead to different destinations in the district. The Hockenheimring in Hockenheim is a draw for motorsport enthusiasts. The Technik Museum Sinsheim displays the Concorde. Guided tours are offered at Windeck Castle ruins in Weinheim. If a tour is important to your plans, check the dates in advance.

The destinations mentioned range from nature and water activities to history, technology, and motorsport; each is associated with a specific town in the wider destination.
