Discover Grub a.Forst

You can get to know Grub a.Forst through its local history, a pilgrim stop and opportunities for exercise. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, these themes offer different starting points for planning your trip: the local history museum represents rural life, St. Aegidius Church is associated with the Way of St. James, and the Gr 4 circular walk passes local landmarks. Sports facilities at Auengrund Leisure Park round out the options. This gives you the opportunity to decide whether local history, a walk or sporting activities are your priority.

Culture and Local History

Exhibits and rooms at the local history museum in the Reichenbach House offer an impression of rural life, particularly in Grub. The exhibits include kitchen utensils from earlier times. The focus is therefore on everyday life and how it is presented in the museum. St. Aegidius Church offers a different cultural connection: it is a pilgrim stop on the Way of St. James. The museum and church thus offer different points of interest, from local everyday history to the pilgrim route.

Gr 4 Circular Walk and Exercise

The Gr 4 circular walk passes the half-timbered building housing the local history museum and the public bookcase. It starts at the car park by the shooting club on Hohe Straße. Along the route are four stone poetry plaques, which can be read in the correct order. Reading the plaques one after another lets you engage with the poems in their intended sequence as you walk. The starting point is about 600 metres on foot from Grub am Forst railway station.

Auengrund Leisure Park in Grub a.Forst offers opportunities for beach volleyball and other sporting activities. If you plan to take part in these activities during your stay, check in advance which options are currently available.

Market Around the Town Hall

The municipal information lists April 2015 as the start of the Grüber Market Friday. It gives the schedule as the second and fourth Friday of the month and the location as the area around the town hall; the offerings include food, plants and various goods. Check the current market calendar before planning a visit.
