Discover the region

There are many tourist attractions here: In Rheinzabern, it is worth visiting the Roman excavation sites as well as Wörth-Schaidt Castle. The Naturfreundehaus on the slopes of the Bienwald forest also offers a great view of the surrounding area.

Germersheim, on the other hand, has two absolute highlights to offer with the Fortress Park and the Speyer Museum of Technology. The fortress park was developed after the withdrawal of the French forces and today invites you to go for a walk or a picnic. In the technology museum, you can visit a Concorde or take a look into outer space, among other things.

Cultural highlights can also be found in both towns: the cultural centre "Das Haus" in Germersheim regularly hosts concerts, theatre performances and readings. In Rheinzabern, the popular wine festival takes place every year, where you can taste regional wines.

The region also has much to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try the famous Saumagen (stuffed pork stomach) or enjoy a glass of wine directly from the local vintner.

The best outdoor activities can vary depending on the season. In spring and summer, the region is perfect for hiking or cycling, and in autumn it's wonderful to go mushroom picking. In the winter months, a snow hike through the Palatinate Forest is a good idea.

And what do you do in Rheinzabern and Germersheim when it rains? There are plenty of options for that too: Visit the Speyer Museum of Technology or take a trip to nearby Karlsruhe, where there are many museums and galleries.

All in all, a visit to Rheinzabern and Germersheim is definitely worth the trip. The beautiful landscape, the cultural highlights as well as the culinary delights make this region an ideal destination for every taste. A travel guide for all those who like to get off the beaten track!
