The market square of Mosbach is one of the most beautiful in all of Baden, and the Palm House from the early 17th century is its undisputed star. Take a closer look at the hand-carved decorations on the beams: they show symbols from faith, craft, and the everyday life of the builders and tell their own story if you take the time to read them.

The Zwerrenberg Pavilion is idyllically situated resting point above Mosbach and offers a beautiful view over the surrounding hills, fields, and forests of the Elz Valley. The small pavilion stands at the edge of the forest and invites you to take a short break with its quiet location – ideal for enjoying the view or simply catching your breath.

The "Schreinerschänke" (Carpenter's Inn) is now permanently closed. The village is still worth a visit. "With fewer than one hundred inhabitants, Schreckhof is idyllically situated above the Neckar Valley, surrounded by the Geopark and former vineyards. The many hiking trails in the area offer wonderful views and breathtaking natural highlights. The historic house itself was built around 1200 and is now in its third generation of family ownership." https://schreckhof.de/

In the pedestrian zone, restaurants and cafes as well as small, often still owner-operated shops invite visitors to stop and linger.

Mosbach's pedestrian zone leads through the historic old town with its beautiful half-timbered houses. Many shops and restaurants invite you to linger. In summer, there are also outdoor seating areas.
