Discover the region

Jockgrim is known for its historic old town with its well-preserved 17th century half-timbered houses. Visit the local history museum to learn more about the town's history or stroll through the idyllic castle park.

Germersheim, on the other hand, is famous for its 19th century fortifications, which are now used as a museum. Here you can get an insight into the life of soldiers during that time.

Both towns have a rich cultural history and offer numerous cultural highlights such as concerts, theatre performances and exhibitions at various locations throughout the year.

For culinary delights, be sure to try the regional specialities - from hearty dishes to sweet treats, you can find it all here! For example, try the Saumagen or a delicious piece of cake with almonds and berry fruits.

When it comes to outdoor activities, this region offers many possibilities: Hiking in the Palatinate Forest or along the Rhine, cycling on well-maintained paths or water sports on the nearby quarry pond are just some of them. The best season for this is between spring and autumn.

Even if it should rain, there is still plenty to do - visit one of the many museums or go wine tasting at one of the wineries. Or just relax in a cosy pub and enjoy the hospitality of the locals.

Jockgrim and Germersheim are definitely worth a visit - whether for a weekend or longer. This guide gives you lots of useful tips to make the most of your stay!

    Eine wunderschöne & abwechslungsreiche Radtour durch Wald, Wiesen und Felder! Ich hab die Route auf ein Fahrradnavi geladen und wurde perfekt ab Kandel geführt. Gegen Ende fährt man eine holprige Schotterpiste durch den Wald; ansonsten perfekter Asphalt. Ohne Navi wird es m.E. schwierig der Route zu folgen. Die Runde werde ich auf jeden Fall noch einmal fahren. Vielen Dank für diese Runde!

    Diese schöne Tour haben wir heute bei Eiseskälte gemacht. Mit 5.36m war der Rheinpegel (Maxau) heute (nur noch) so hoch, dass der Weg am Ufer gerade wieder trocken war und wir zum Glück keine nassen Füße bekamen. Im Sommer werden wir wohl nochmal hierher kommen.

    bei tollem Frühlingswetter ist dieser 'Weg ein Genuss. Tipp: am Dammweg undeidngt über die Dammkrone ins Rheinvorgelände schauen - hier eröffnet sich eine einzigartige Tier- und Pflanzenwelt!! Das Anglerheim ist auf alle Fälle eine Rast wert (mit tollem Biergarten) und der Anlegestelle des "Römerschiffs Lusoria Rhenana" ! - für den sommer ist die Tour weniger geeignet, da viel freie Fläche. Aber im Herbst kommen wir wieder!
