Discover Wörth am Rhein

The 2000 Sculpture Garden is located in Wörth’s Bürgerpark and was created from red sandstone and copper. Its eight stations are arranged around a central winged figure. The clear layout makes it easy to see how the central motif relates to the stations.

Art and Regional History

The Laurentiushof Local History Museum presents the traditional, simple way of life of the region’s rural population. A working bread oven is occasionally used to bake bread and tarte flambée. If you would like to include a baking session in your plans, check in advance whether bread or tarte flambée will be baked during your visit.

The Viehstrich Museum in Schaidt explores 400 years of history through traditional crafts, domestic life, and objects related to agriculture and forestry. Also in Schaidt, the Westwall Hiking Trail gives hikers the opportunity to explore the region’s eventful history. The two attractions have different focuses: the museum centers on historical themes and objects, while the hiking trail combines walking with an insight into regional history.

Animal painter Heinrich von Zügel kept his creative studio in Wörth for decades. The Heinrich von Zügel Gallery in the Old Town Hall presents an extensive collection devoted to the Wörth School of Painting. It is considered a former center of German Impressionism. The gallery and the painter’s longstanding connection to Wörth give the art theme a distinctive historical dimension.

Trails, Nature and the Badepark

The Bienwald Forest around Büchelberg and Schaidt offers opportunities for walks and hikes. Stream valleys and old oak trees shape the landscape. The discovery trails in Büchelberg provide families with information about orchards and bees. As well as being out and about, visitors can learn about specific features of the landscape and its natural environment.

The Badepark Wörth offers ten swimming pools, a wave pool, and a double slide more than 60 meters long. This makes the Badepark a distinct option when planning a trip, alongside cultural and nature-focused activities.

Cycling Tours with Different Themes

Wörth am Rhein is considered a good starting point for cycling tours along the Rhine, towards the German Wine Route, and into Alsace. The cross-border PAMINA Rheinpark North Cycle Route is a circular route through the Southern Palatinate, northern Baden, and Alsace. The Petronella Rhine Cycle Route runs from the Rhine to the vineyards of the German Wine Route.

The routes differ in their layout: the PAMINA Rheinpark North Cycle Route is a circuit through three regions, while the Petronella Rhine Cycle Route leads from the Rhine to the vineyards. Several other directions for cycling from Wörth am Rhein are also mentioned: along the Rhine, towards the German Wine Route, and into Alsace. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between a specific circular tour, a route to the vineyards, and a broader cycling direction.

If you are looking for hotels in Wörth am Rhein, it helps to decide on the focus of your stay first: art and regional history, trails in the Bienwald Forest, cycling, or the Badepark each lend themselves to different travel plans.
