Discover the region

Obersontheim is idyllically situated at the foot of the Hohenlohe plain and surrounded by rolling hills. The region is characterised by a breathtaking landscape that offers unique experiences in every season. In spring, nature comes to life and shows itself in full splendour with blossoming orchards and vineyards. In summer, warm temperatures entice you to take part in outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling along the numerous well-marked hiking trails. In autumn, the forests turn colourful and invite you to go for a walk. And in winter, Obersontheim turns into a picturesque snowy landscape for skiing and sledging.

The town also has a lot of culture to offer: visit the historic Oberschönthal Castle or admire the impressive baroque building of the town church of St. Martinus from the 18th century.In addition, many festivals take place every year that are worth visiting, such as the traditional wine festival in September or the popular music festival "Kunst auf Rädern" (Art on Wheels) in July.

For gourmets, Obersontheim also has something to offer. The region is known for its culinary specialities, such as the "Schwäbisch Haller Schinken" or the regional wine.

If it should rain, Obersontheim also offers many opportunities for indoor entertainment: visit the local history museum in the old town hall or be inspired by the art gallery.

Where is it most beautiful in Obersontheim? That depends entirely on your preferences! We recommend a walk through the picturesque old town with its half-timbered houses and cobbled streets, exploring the surrounding nature by bike or on foot, and a glass of wine on a cosy terrace at sunset.

Obersontheim is definitely worth a visit and we hope this guide will help you plan an unforgettable stay.

    Sehr schöne Radrunde. Weitestgehend gut beschildert. Wie es den Autoren aber gelungen ist, die Tour mit unter 300 Höhenmetern zu planen ist mir ein Rätsel. Wenn ich es mit der App nachplane komme ich auf 500 Höhenmeter. Und die Beine fühlen sich nach der Tour auch so an. Trotzdem wars ein schöner Tag. Ein Bad im Degenbachsee empfehle ich unbedingt.

    Bin nur die Strecke von Schwäbisch Hall bis Kirchberg im Uhrzeigersinn gegangen. Fast durchweg wirklich sehr lohnenswert. Problem ist die Markierung: die sind leider an den kritischen Punkten zu wenige (Redundanz!!!), verschwinden teilweise im Gebüsch oder sind etwas ungünstig aufgehängt. Außerdem sind die auf der Markierung aufgebrachten Pfeile manchmal problematisch: Manchmal versteht man sie nur richtig, wenn man nicht vor der Markierung steht, sondern am Abzweigpunkt (ist ja auch nicht immer eindeutig). Außerdem sind die Symbole zwar nett, aber viel zu gedeckt um im Halbdunkel noch deutlich erkannt zu werden (Das waren Werbeprofis, aber keine Wanderer!). Und noch was: in Kirchberg begegneten mir zwei Wanderer aus dem Schwäbischen, die meinten, Weg (und Wanderland Hohenohe) seien "tot". Hatte nicht die zeit groß nachzufragen, aber sie meinten wohl die Infrastruktur und das Außenherum. Ja, das ist leider nachvollziehbar!

    Abwechslungsreicher Tour, tiefer Wald, weite Wiesen, Ausblicke… Die Wege könnten besser freigehalten werden, es ist im Spätsommer schon erheblich nass von unten, selbst mit gutem Schuhwerk
