Europäischer Kulturweg: Vom Burgensaal zum Klosterglanz - Beim Hollebaum und Pfeiferhans

Discover the central pillars that have shaped the culture and landscape of the lower Tauber Valley over the centuries on this natural circular hiking tour.

On the first European cultural hiking trail in Baden Württemberg, you will experience how monastery and castle, wine and irrigation, sheep and landscape conservation belong together and shape the cultural landscape.

From Bronnbach Monastery, you pass the monastery's former supply yard before heading straight up the mountain to Dickbuckel. Along the edge of the forest you reach the Pülversloch, the historical border to Gamburg with Celtic burial mounds.

The route continues on natural paths through fields and forests to Höhefeld, where you can enjoy fantastic panoramic views over the Tauber Valley on the detour around the sports field. A short detour downhill to the Begharden cave is worthwhile and in Niklashausen you can cool your feet in the Tauber before hiking back uphill through the local forest.

You can see Gamburg Castle from the 12th century from afar. Once again, the tour takes you into the river valley, past the train station and back to Bronnbach in the pleasant silence of the forest.
