September 24, 2026, Klosterkirche St. Christopherus

The former Capuchin monastery with the Capuchin church is one of the significant historical buildings in Haslach im Kinzigtal. The monastery was founded in the 17th century and was an important religious site in the town for a long time. The simple Capuchin church corresponds to the traditional architecture of the Capuchins: rather understated in design, with a simple church interior and a calm atmosphere. The monastery shaped the spiritual life of Haslach for centuries. Today, the historical ensemble is a reminder of the town's long monastic and church history and, together with the half-timbered houses of the old town, forms a piece of Haslach's history worth seeing.

The Urenkopfturm is a striking observation tower on the 554-meter-high Urenkopf, the local mountain of Haslach im Kinzigtal. Inaugurated in November 2014, the tower impresses with its special architecture made of massive Douglas fir logs and an internal steel structure. Those who climb the 183 grid steps will be rewarded with a spectacular panoramic view. Tower height & platform: The tower is a total of 34.05 meters high. The spacious viewing platform is located at a height of 33 meters. Panorama: In clear weather, the 360-degree view extends over the Central Black Forest and the Kinzigtal valley to Kandel, the Rhine Valley, the French Vosges, and even to the Swabian Jura.
