Kraichgau-Stromberg

Since 1929, the Tripsdrill amusement park has been located in Cleebronn. It is considered the second oldest amusement park in Germany. And a lot has changed during this time: from the original fairy tale park, it has developed into a large amusement park with over 100 attractions – including, alongside many family-friendly rides, several thrilling roller coasters like the wooden roller coaster Mammut. Especially popular with the little ones are the family attractions Duck Water Ride, Laundry Basket Round Flight, Mill Brook Ride, and Soapbox Racing.

Despite its size, the park, nestled in the typical hilly landscape of the Kraichgau region, has maintained its family-friendly atmosphere. Directly connected to the park and included in the admission price is the Wildlife Park. Here you can watch feedings of wolves, lynxes, and bears, as well as flight demonstrations of birds of prey.

If you're still looking for suitable accommodation for your family vacation, the Natur-Resort Tripsdrill with its 48 treehouses at an airy height offers you a unique experience.

At the Sinsheim Technology Museum, you will learn everything about cars and other technical achievements. Over 3,000 exhibits from all areas of technology are displayed here, including the impressive supersonic aircraft Concorde and Tupolev. They are visible from afar and can even be visited inside. Giant steam locomotives and Formula 1 cars also await you. Directly connected to the museum is the IMAX 3D cinema with a wide selection of different films for the whole family.

Historical insights for young and old can be gathered at Maulbronn Monastery: Founded in 1147, the monastery is still very well preserved today and allows you to immerse yourself in life in the Middle Ages. The best way to explore the monastery is on a guided tour, which takes place several times a day. The extensive complex is also the venue for various events such as the Medieval City Festival in June. 

The Kraichgau-Stromberg region, also known as the „land of 1000 hills“, is nestled in sunny, friendly meadows, forests, and vineyards landscapes between the Rhine and Neckar. Each of the different landscapes convinces with its uniqueness: while the Baden Kraichgau is lined with gentle hills, orchards, and hollow ways, the Stromberg-Heuchelberg Nature Park – predominantly shaped by Württemberg – shows itself with its picturesque vineyard slopes. Overall, the Kraichgau-Stromberg presents itself in five subregions, which entice with very different natural spaces and can be excellently explored by bike and on foot.

Kraichgau-Stromberg can be explored on no less than 2000 km of bike paths. The cultural and wine region captivates with its half-timbered towns, castles, and vineyards, which can be discovered on countless route or circular tours. And in the evening, bike-friendly accommodation awaits those who traverse the region by bicycle.

The course of the Neckar and Enz rivers flows through a stunning landscape, past cultural-historical landmarks and diverse vegetation –  partly characterized by steep vineyards, partly by gently rolling hills. Culture and history create an exciting interplay here – as evidenced by many interesting museums, galleries, regional historical collections and exhibitions, as well as traditional events. A paradise for wine lovers, timber-frame romantics, and art enthusiasts.
