Discover the region

Welcome to Affalterbach, a charming town in the heart of the Ludwigsburg district. The municipality is idyllically nestled between the vineyards of the region and offers its visitors a wealth of opportunities for a successful stay.

Geographical location and special features:

Affalterbach is a small town with about 4,000 inhabitants and is located only a few kilometres from the town of Marbach am Neckar. The name "Affalterbach" is derived from the word "Aue", which means wetland. Indeed, there are numerous small streams and ponds to discover here, as well as a charming landscape of forests, fields and meadow orchards.

Tourist attractions:

A particular highlight is Affalterbach Castle, which today serves as the town hall. The baroque palace was built in the 18th century and used to house the noble family of Palm zu Neuburg.

Also worth seeing are the historic half-timbered houses around the market square as well as the St.-Lambertus church from the 15th century.

Cultural highlights and events:

For culture lovers, we recommend a visit to the Römerbad museum or the Maulberger Hof art gallery.

In summer, there are regular open-air concerts on the market square or you can visit one of the many wine festivals, where you can enjoy the regional wines and culinary specialities.

Culinary specialities:

Affalterbach is known for its regional cuisine. Here you will find numerous inns and restaurants where you can indulge in Swabian delicacies such as Maultaschen or Spätzle. Wine growing also plays an important role here - a glass of Trollinger or Lemberger is not to be missed.

Outdoor Activities:

Those who like to be active will also get their money's worth in Affalterbach. The surrounding area is ideal for hiking or cycling - especially in spring and autumn, an excursion through the colourful nature is a must.

Anglers will also get their money's worth here: There are numerous species of fish to catch in the many streams and ponds around Affalterbach.

What to do in Affalterbach when it rains?

If the weather doesn't cooperate, we recommend a visit to the indoor swimming pool "Aquamarin". Here you can take a relaxing swim or just relax.

Where is it most beautiful in Affalterbach?

The hiking trails along the Lein River and the view from the Schlossberg across the Neckar Valley to the Swabian Alb are particularly idyllic. Another highlight is the "Hörnleskopf" vantage point, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the region.

Conclusion:

Affalterbach is definitely worth a visit! Whether you are interested in culture, nature lovers or culinary fans - everyone gets their money's worth here. The town impresses with its idyllic location, the historical sights and the wide range of leisure activities. A perfect destination for a relaxing holiday in nature!

    Schöne, angenehm zu laufende und abwechslungsreiche Rundwanderung, die zu jeder Jahreszeit seine Reize hat. Wie in den vorherigen Rezessionen erwähnt, sind wasserdichte Wanderschuhe sehr vorteilhaft. Mit GPS-Unterstützung ist es schwer, sich zu verlaufen ....

    Eine sehr schöne Tour, die weitestgehend dem s'Äpple-Rundweg 9 gleicht, der zwischenzeitlich komplett mit dem Wanderleitsystem des Naturparks Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald ausgestattet ist - Karte: https://www.schwaebisches-mostviertel.de/fileadmin/media/files/smv_saepple_faltkarte_digital_20210429.pdf - somit kann die landschaftlich sehr schöne Tour mit Berg und Tal ganz ohne andauernden Blick auf das Smartphone, vielmehr mit einem intensiven Blick in die Landschaft -und auf die nächste Wegemarke-, begangen werden. Das Buchenbachtal ( in weiten Teilen NSG) mit seinen schönen steinernen Bogenbrücken sticht dabei sicherlich heraus - in der Vegetationszeit teilweise auf den Wiesenwegen sehr hohes Gras! Je nachdem wann man diese Runde läuft, sogar mit Einkehrmöglichkeit in der Traube in Burgstall oder Besenstube Trefz im Römerhof im Kirschenhardthof -Öffnungszeiten beachten!

    Landschaftlich sehr ansprechend. Viele schöne Wiesenpfade. ACHTUNG! Nach starkem Regen kann der Buchenbach Hochwasser führen, so dass der untere Teil des Wegs eventuell zu einer Wanderung im Bach ausartet

    Sehr schöne Runde, besonders das Buchenbachtal ist herrlich. Leider im Moment am unteren Einstieg bei Regen noch sehr matschig. Das wird sich aber hoffentlich bald mal ändern.

    Sehr schöne Runde, die man auch gut im Winter bei trockenem Wetter gehen kann! Sollte es feucht sein, ist der Weg aufgrund der vielen schönen Wegabschnitte über unbefestigte Wiesenwege nicht zu empfehlen. Da wir zu spät losgelaufen sind, mussten wir abkürzen. Dies ist auf Höhe des Kirschenhardhofs unproblematisch möglich!

    Zum zweiten Mal gegangen, mit Start in Weiler zum Stein. Es hat gerade noch zum Mittagessen in der Pizzeria Traube in Burgstall gereicht. Sehr schön an der Murr entlang. Der Eingang ins Buchenbachtal war die hier versprochene Matschschlacht. Dafür war niemand unterwegs 😄

    Schöne abwechslungsreiche Tour, festes Schuhwerk empfiehlt sich besonders nach Regen. Beschilderung eher mäßig gut. Trotz gutem Wanderwetter am Sonntag sehr wenig Leute unterwegs. Unterwegs gibt es kaum Bänke, aber nach Kirschenhardthof gibt es einen Grillplatz, wo man gut Pause machen kann.
