Wooden footbridge in the Schlierbach-Kohlrain nature reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

A narrow, really beautiful nature trail leads through the protected forest. The trail leaves directly from the hiking trail and leads towards the Jewish cemetery. Here you can experience the natural forest up close. Really great.

October 3, 2025,Wanderung Fünfmühlental Burg Guttenberg Jüdischer Friedhof

This circular route is perfect for an afternoon stroll. I recommend sturdy footwear. There are some more challenging sections, but it's also suitable for children. The Siegelsbach Mill is a great place to stop for coffee and cake or a meal. Make sure to reserve in advance.

But you had a great view of the Neckar valley, Hornberg Castle and Gundelsheim. Then it went over the 5 Mühlental am Mühlbach back up to the Zimmerhof. Then the …

August 11, 2024,Durch's Fünfmühlental hoch zur Burg Guttenberg

Ideal tour in today's hot weather: Almost always under trees and there was a light wind.
Visually, of course, the weather was fantastic. And the hiking trails were easy to walk and well-marked.
The Siegelsbacher Mill is a very beautiful spot, we had to stop there again for a break (we had planned something else after the hike today).
At …

Today I shifted my morning forest round a bit and started in Zimmerhof shortly after 6 a.m.

From the free hiking parking lot, the path first led me through the idyllic Fünfmühlental to the Siegelsbacher Mühle. The village festival with live music is still running there until tomorrow, and accordingly, there was already a very special atmosphere.

We started at the Mühltalsee hiking car park and made our way towards the Fünfmühltal. Our route took us through the Bannwald, past the Jewish cemetery and further through the forest until we reached Guttenberg …
