Hike through the hills of Bad Sobernheim and back along the Hottenbach. A visit to the Rhineland-Palatinate Open-Air Museum in Bad Sobernheim is well worth it.▶ The hike begins at parking lot01 of the open-air museum in Bad Sobernheim. We hike out of the Nachtigallental valley and, after Korezakstraße (on the right), turn left onto a grassy path. After a short, steep climb, we’re rewarded with a fantastic view of Bad Sobernheim from the “Kurt-Eimer-Tempelchen”02.Through beautiful forest sections, we now follow the “Hottenbachweg” trail markers over the Blocherberg, upstream along the stream, past meadows, until we turn right into the forest and reach the “Kahler Hahn” signpost.Here, it’s worth taking a detour of about 1.6 km (round trip) to the “Kahler Hahn”04 lookout point. Even on the way there, we’re rewarded with a magnificent view03to the south.Back at the “Kahler Hahn” sign, turn right after about 50 m and head down through a beautiful, unspoiled gorge landscape to the Hotel Lohmühle05. We now turn right and hike through the floodplain06 of the Hottenbach stream, across meadows, and along the edge of the forest until just before the Nahe River near Bad Sobernheim. Following the Nahe07 downstream, we reach the spa district of the town of Bad Sobernheim. In the spa park08, on the banks of the Nahe, you can watch all kinds of birds fishing—be sure to take your time. Via Felkestraße, past the Kurhaus09, we now hike up the Nachtigallental to the parking lot of the open-air museum01 in Bad Sobernheim. A visit to the Rhineland-Palatinate Open-Air Museum is definitely worthwhile. Here, everyday life from the past 500 years comes back to life. Nearly 40 historic buildings were dismantled at their original sites in Rhineland-Palatinate, reassembled on the museum grounds, and furnished with meticulous attention to detail. Complemented by gardens, fields, orchard meadows, a vineyard, pastures, and the animals that belong there, they give visitors the feeling of stepping back in time. Themed and activity days are offered throughout the season, with additional programs for the whole family.
