Goldbach: Hiking Trails, Pools and St. Nicholas Church

Goldbach combines trails in the local area, seasonal swimming and historic sights. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Goldbach, first decide what to focus on during your trip: hiking and running, swimming or architecture each call for different day plans.

Hiking and Running Trails in Goldbach

Five trails maintained by the Spessartbund and the Archaeological Spessart Project (ASP), three local hiking trails, a running route maintained by TV Goldbach and a local connecting path from the center to the main road run through Goldbach’s local area. This offers several types of routes: association trails and local hiking trails sit alongside a running route and a connection between the center and the main road. If you enjoy getting around on foot, you can start planning by deciding whether you would like to hike, run or use a route connecting these two points.

Outdoor and Indoor Pools

The outdoor pool in Goldbach has large pools and two water slides; it operates seasonally. Swimming is also possible in winter at the indoor pool. The sports pool is 16.33 meters long, 9 meters wide and has four lanes. The difference is clear for planning: the outdoor pool offers fun in the water during the season, while the indoor pool is an option for swimming in winter. If you plan to visit the indoor pool on a particular day of your trip, check its current operating hours before setting out.

Church and Sights

The Catholic parish church of St. Nicholas is located at Weidenbörnerstraße 1. It is a Romanesque Revival basilica dating from 1895, with a polygonal war memorial chapel associated with it. The church and chapel offer visitors interested in architecture a specific historic landmark in Goldbach. The Mile of Peace is another cultural landmark among the town’s sights.
