Discover the region

Lichtenau is known for its picturesque landscape with rolling hills, dense forests and idyllic river courses. Here you can relax, go hiking or cycling - the best seasons for this are spring to autumn. Visit the "Altrhein" nature reserve or enjoy the view from the observation tower on the Eichberg.

But Lichtenau also has a lot to offer culturally: Discover the historic old town with its half-timbered houses and visit Favorite Castle, one of the most important baroque castles in Germany. Another highlight is the Haus Löwenberg museum, which combines art and cultural history.

For culinary delights, we recommend a visit to one of the numerous inns or wine taverns in the region. Try local specialities such as spaetzle or game dishes as well as excellent wines from nearby Baden-Baden.

If it rains, there is still plenty to do: Spend a leisurely day in a café or experience pure wellness at the Caracalla Spa in Baden-Baden just 20 minutes away from Lichtenau.

Where is the most beautiful? That's hard to say - every place has its own charm! However, we recommend a walk through the palace gardens of Favorite or a tour along the Rhine.

Lichtenau is definitely worth a visit and our guide will give you the best tips for your stay. Experience the unique mix of nature, culture and culinary delights - we look forward to welcoming you!

    Leider hat es kurz nach Beginn der Wanderung angefangen zu regnen und wir mussten abbrechen. Nach einer Vesperpause im RESTAURANT AM FLUSS (sehr zu empfehlen), sind wir dann doch noch (nur zu viert)losgegangen. Es hat wirklich Spass gemacht, landwirtschaftlich sehr schön und Gerd hat uns mit seinem großen Wissen begeistert.

    Schöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour, vorbei an vielen Hofläden. Strecke verläuft viel über Nebenstrecken, auf asphaltierten Feld- oder Radwegen. Nur der Abschnitt von Großweier nach Sasbachried verläuft auf Landstraßen, das ist weniger schön.

    Bei dieser Runde gibt es einige idyllische Streckenabschnitte, aber leider auch eine längere, ziemlich unattraktive Strecke auf befahrener bzw. danach neben stark befahrener Straße. Uns gefällt hier der anfängliche Teil durch die Obstplantagen und später die Strecke durch die Rheinauen am besten. Die Beschilderung ist gut, an einer Stelle hängt das Symbolbild jedoch falsch und leitet in die entgegengesetzte Richtung.

    Typische Tour in der Ebene zwischen Schwarzwald und Rhein. Bin die Tour vom nördlichen Ende her ab Durmersheim gefahren (gute Parkplätze an der Kirche in D.). Achtung an Gravel Freunde: das ist eine Rennrad Tour - manchmal ergeben sich "lokale" Alternativen, aber wie geschrieben, eigentlich eine RR Tour und fahren auf / neben Straßen gehört da dazu. Hat sich gelohnt!
