The Fünfmühlental begins in the Zimmerhof district, about 2 km northeast of the town center of Bad Rappenau and extends to the Siegelsbach-Gundelsheim road. One of the most beautiful hiking trails in the region leads along the forest-lined valley. Until after the Second World War, five water mills were in operation there, each bearing the name of their respective owners. Today there is a private fallow deer enclosure in this romantic valley. Some of the spa guest hikes run by the guest information center lead into this valley. The distance from Zimmerhof through the Fünfmühlental to Guttenberg Castle is around 5 km. In Zimmerhof, on a forest barbecue area and in the “Mühlenschenke” at the end of the valley, you can have a good rest. In dry weather the path is also suitable for strollers.

Great bike path with lots of nature. Trekking bike is enough. Even with luggage.

a highlight of the hike. The Jewish cemetery is impressive just because of its size, there are graves from 1591 to 1937. However, if you want access, you have to get a key from the Citizens' Registration Office in Bad Rappenau beforehand.

This is a magical place - completely secluded and away from major roads, so you're usually alone there. Time seems to have stood still. The cemetery is locked, you can borrow the key from the municipality of Bad Rappenau. Gentlemen, please don't forget your yarmulke...
