Schwäbisch Hall: Wandern & Radfahren

On the Schwäbisch Hall town website, you’ll find plenty of ideas for active outdoor leisure activities – particularly hiking and cycling.

There are several well-signposted circular hiking trails around the town, which start right in the centre and lead out into the countryside. They take you through woods, along the Kocher Valley or to beautiful vantage points such as the Einkorn. Longer tours are also particularly popular, leading, for example, to the Wackershofen Open-Air Museum or through idyllic valleys and gorges.

There is plenty to discover for cycling enthusiasts too: the well-known Kocher-Jagst Cycle Route runs through Schwäbisch Hall and connects the region with a variety of routes through river valleys, villages and countryside.

In addition, there are mountain bike routes and trails for more athletic riders, as well as numerous combinable tours for relaxed day trips in the region.

A perfect offering for anyone who enjoys being out and about – whether on foot or by bike.
