Maps and trails
Geographically, Rheinstetten is located on the western edge of the Black Forest and borders the Rhine River. The town is known for its picturesque landscape with numerous forests and lakes as well as excellent cycling and hiking trails.

Tourist attractions include historic buildings such as Mörsburg Castle or the Old Railway Station Forchheim, which is now a cultural centre. The Museum of Contemporary History in Berghausen also offers an insight into the history of the region.

Cultural highlights can be found above all at the numerous festivals and events, such as the annual town festival or the internationally renowned jazz festival "Jazz Open". Equally worthwhile are theatre performances in the community centre or concerts on the market square in Forchheim.

Culinary Rheinstetten has a lot to offer - be sure to try the regional specialities such as Maultaschen or Spätzle with sauce. For wine lovers, there are also a variety of wineries in the area.

The best outdoor activities can vary depending on the season: In summer, the Rappenwört bathing lake is a great place to swim and sunbathe, while in winter, skiing and snowboarding are possible at the nearby Feldberg. However, you can hike all year round - the routes along the Rhine or through the Black Forest are recommended, for example.

Even in rainy weather, there is plenty to do in Rheinstetten: Visit the indoor swimming pool "Aquaplex", for example, or take a guided tour of Karlsruhe Castle, which is only a few kilometres away.

But Rheinstetten is at its most beautiful in spring and autumn, when the landscape enchants with colourful flowers and falling leaves. A walk along the banks of the Rhine or a picnic in the park are particularly recommended then.

In short: Rheinstetten is definitely worth a visit! Whether cultural highlights, culinary discoveries or outdoor activities - everyone gets their money's worth here. We hope that this travel guide will help you to plan your stay in the best possible way.

    Man erreicht den Eppelesee auch mit dem Rad durch den Hardtwald von Karlsruhe aus sehr gut, evtl. auch mit der S-Bahn (H Silberstreifen). Zum Schwimmen und Sonnen wunderbar, auch Schatten findet man. Das Wasser ist gut, weil der See tief ist. Ein freundliches und entspanntes Nebeneinander von Menschen, die mit und ohne Textil schwimmen und sonnen wollen.

    Sehr schöne Tour über schmale Pfade durch die Rheinauen. Allerdings sind manche Wege bei Hochwasser nicht begehbar. Es gibt aber alternative Wege.

    Eine sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Runde! Mitte Februar kam die Sonne langsam raus und ich bin in Kandel gestartet. Da die Fähre bei Neuburg erst ab März fährt, bin ich einfach auf der Pfäler Seite geblieben. Von Kandel fährt man erst durch Wiesen und Dörfer und dann geht es in den Bienwald. Ich habe ein Bio-Trekkingrad mit einer gefederten Vordergabel: Es handel sich um ganz normale Waldwege. Der Rheinradweg ist super! Ich hatte einen Spirtuskocher mit und hab mir in einer Hütte kochendes Wasser für eine Fertigsuppe gemacht, als der Förster kam. Als der sah, dass ich vernünftig bin, was das kein Problem. Ich hab die GPX Route auf mein Radnavi geladen und wurde problemlos geführt. Fazit: Sehr sehr abwechslungsreich mit Wiesen, Wäldern, Bächen und Flüssen. Bei mir auch mit Förster ;-).
