After an ascent, which is possible from both sides, the hut is a great place to take a break. The hut is also covered.

Ascent to Michaelsberg from Untergrombach

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

With its average gradient of approximately five percent over two and a half kilometers, this climb to the Michaelsberg is a sporting highlight, rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view across the Rhine plain. The "summit drink" at the Michaelsberg café-restaurant is also well-deserved after the strenuous ascent.

Cycle path between Weingarten and Untergrombach

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Partly right next to the B3 - so not the most beautiful of all conceivable paths, but definitely better than driving directly on the B3.

Weingarten Town Center and the Walzbach Stream

Highlight • Settlement

Settlement remains from the Roman and Merovingian periods were found in the district. The village originated from a courtyard of the Weißenburg monastery in what is now northern Alsace, which of course lost its possessions again in 985 through the so-called Salic church robbery. In 1504 Duke Ulrich von Württemberg destroyed the village, which became a well-known market town after reconstruction. The watchtower was built in 1589 in order to be able to recognize approaching war hordes at an early stage. The tower was on the trade routes to Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Augsburg and Basel and was used by troops from the Palatinate as an observation tower for the escort teams. Weingarten was Palatinate until 1803, after which it came to the Grand Duchy of Baden as a result of the French coalition wars. (Wikipedia)
