Trails and outdoor activities in Herrischried

A barefoot path runs alongside the water-treading pool, connecting the path and pool directly. The Murgtal Trail offers a different kind of connection: it links the municipalities of Murg, Rickenbach and Herrischried, crossing municipal boundaries. The Hotzenwald Nordic Walking Centre offers three circular walking routes, measuring 4, 6 and 9 km. The routes are easy to compare: 4 km is the shortest, 9 km the longest, and the 6-km loop falls in between. If you choose based on distance, you have three clearly differentiated options. Two questions can help you decide which route to take: would you like to choose a circular route by its length, or include the Murgtal Trail as a link between the municipalities?

Klausenhof and glass workshop

Klausenhof dates back to 1424 and combines living quarters and farm buildings under one roof. This design brings two functions together in one building; the connection between everyday life and work can be explained directly through the layout. The farmstead stood uninhabited for a long time in Herrischried-Großherrischwand and was saved from further decay. Its history therefore has different chapters: its historic architectural form and its later preservation after a long period of vacancy. Interest in visiting Klausenhof may therefore focus both on its architectural form and on the story of its preservation.

The glass workshop is right next to Klausenhof. There, you can watch the glassmaker at work and try the traditional craft yourself under their expert guidance. Demonstration and hands-on practice offer different ways to engage: expert guidance accompanies your own attempt, while watching lets you follow the glassmaker’s work. Check the current visiting arrangements in advance if you want to make the workshop a firm part of your plans.

Leisure at the sports and recreation centre

The Herrischried Sports and Recreation Centre has two tennis courts; rackets and balls can be hired on site. If you plan to play tennis, you can factor the rental option into your plans. Confirm access and availability before your visit. An adventure playground is located right next to the mini-golf course at the Sports and Recreation Centre. If this is part of your plans, check access before visiting.
