Active holiday in Gengenbach in the Kinzigtal
Experience nature – idyllic vineyards & picturesque valleys
Orchards and vineyards, babbling brooks and the tranquil Kinzig, wide valleys and fairytale forests, gentle hills and steep mountains: the Kinzigtal can enchant its guests on an active holiday in Gengenbach at any time of the year. Leisurely hikers and cyclists will feel just as home here as mountain racers.

Hiking on an active holiday in Gengenbach
How about starting with the all-in-one favourite tour by hotel boss Gerhard Hummel, duration approx. 2-3 hours. He will be happy to show you the route from the Skydeck: left through the gate, over the bridge, up to the Jakobuskapelle (St James’ Chapel) on the “Bergle” with a panorama of the Rhine plain as far as Strasbourg, on a trail through the vines, to the Portiunkula Chapel, then to the Teufelskanzlei (Devil’s Chancery) and through the forest and across the park back to the hotel. All in just one hike!
Or how about the Ortenau Wine Trail, the Black Forest Nature Park Trail or the Jakobusweg? Whether narrow paths or wide panoramic trails, the choice really is vast. Take a look at the hiking tips of the town of Gengenbach online.
Nordic walking fan? Then head for the Gengenbach Nordic Walking Park with its four circular routes. Poles and routes are available from Kultur- und Tourismus GmbH in Gengenbach.
