Historic beer cellar at the Katharinenkapelle ruins
Highlight • Historical Site
The Hechlinger Hohlweg leads from the village directly past the cellar. The cellar has existed for centuries and the Hechlinger Brewery Müller stored its draft beer there for secondary fermentation and maturation. In the beer cellar, which was used until around 1900, cellar festivals used to take place at Whitsun. The Hechlingen Tourist Association repaired the dilapidated cellar. About twelve meters of the former facility are freely accessible.

Hechlingen Hollow Way
Highlight • Gorge
The path was created over thousands of years. Mass amounts of water first washed away the soil and cut into the sandstone. Cattle drives, carts and use as a footpath then created the current hollow way. The path used to be one of the main routes from Hechlingen to the fields and pastures on the Kapellenberg and the Katharinenkapelle.
The hollow way is accessible to tourists with a local and natural history educational trail around 1.8 km long and created in 2010. The path has two wooden gates at the beginning and end. Some information boards accompany him up to St. Catherine's Chapel (komoot.de/highlight/740845).
