Castle Road for Children

Kletterwald - Rothenburg ob der Tauber

With 145 climbing elements in 14 courses, a little courage is required. However, the high ropes course offers the right challenge for everyone. While the "Sloth" course, for example, is suitable for children aged 5 and over, the "Howler monkey" course is aimed at more experienced climbers. Fly up to 120 metres through the forest, climb steep walls, dare to jump into the net, cross obstacles or work your way from tree to tree like a monkey. Of course, you will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. Adventure, action and fun for the whole family in the Rothenburg climbing forest - a safe experience for sure!

Minimum age for children 8 years. For children aged 8 to 10, one adult is required for every three children climbing. One adult is sufficient for older children.

Erlebnisweg "Wallensteins Lager" - Stein b. Nürnberg

One of the most important historical sites of the Thirty Years' War is located in what is now the area of the towns of Zirndorf, Oberasbach and Stein. On the orders of Albrecht von Wallenstein, one of the world's largest fortified army camps was built there in 1632. At the time, 50,000 soldiers and 15,000 horses were accommodated in "Wallenstein's Camp". There was also a cavalcade of around 30,000 other people: Families, merchants, jugglers and also prostitutes, who were also housed in the camp. The hygienic conditions were catastrophic and the camp was rife with disease and hunger.

The Wallenstein's Camp adventure trail traces the historical camp of 1632. 28 steles provide information about the time of the siege, impart knowledge in a playful way and make the dimensions of the siege tangible. Whether by walking along the former entrenchments, "eavesdropping" on protagonists of the time or discovering objects. Interested hikers collect new digital content for the accompanying app at each station. In the same way, the themed trail relates the natural environment that can be experienced to the historical events, as it makes clear the impact on the population of our communities at the time.

The Esperhöhle cave, popularly known as Klingloch, is located around 900 metres north-west of Leutzdorf and is one of the largest and most impressive karst structures in Franconian Switzerland. It is the remains of what was once a large cave system. The entrance portal to the cave is spectacular. A passageway, where you should keep your head down, leads into an impressive small doline, surrounded by rock walls over 20 metres high. At the end of the small doline is a 2 metre deep descent that leads to the middle level of the cave. Caution is advised here - the descent should not be attempted without climbing skills. Up to this point, however, it is safe to enter, even for children. During the winter months, the Esper Cave serves as a roost for hundreds of bats. As these animals must not be startled during hibernation, the cave may not be entered in the period from 1 October to 15 April.

Do you want to know what Katharina is accused of? How the trial goes? And what the outcome is? Go on a scavenger hunt with your smartphone and get to the bottom of the story!

The water playground at the DLRG station is a popular meeting place for families, as is the skateboard facility at the Ernst Walz Bridge for sports enthusiasts. The pedal boat rental also offers the opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere from the water. The castle illumination with fireworks, which takes place three times a year, can also be enjoyed particularly well from the Neckar meadow.

Ohrsbergturm - Eberbach

Wonderful view

The Ohrsberg, still young in geological terms, is a product of the Neckar's development. The striking hilltop was once flowed around by river loops called meanders. The Ohrsberg remained after they were cut off and silted up and lies 229 m above sea level.

The tower of the same name on it is another 17.50 m high and was built in 1970.

In the 13th century, there was probably a fortified enclosure on the summit of the Ohrsberg, which served to protect the town. The moat can still be seen today. A wooden tower probably stood on the site of the Ohrsberg tower at that time.

The Ohrsberg circular trail is impressive because it is easy to walk and close to the town. Only 5 minutes from the railway station, you are already in the middle of the forest.

Those who take the short detour to the tower are rewarded with a magnificent view of the city and the Neckar valley.

Schatzsuche - Burg Abenberg

Who will find the “treasure at Abenberg Castle”?

The museums at the castle have prepared a treasure hunt for you, where you will travel back in time through 800 years and meet knights, craftsmen and healers along the way.

In five stories about the castle, five riddles are hidden at five stations. Whoever solves them will receive the secret code at the end: A number that opens the lock of the treasure chest ...
Curious already? Then off you go to the castle.
All you need is a smartphone or tablet and the Actionbound app.

Storyteller Martin Ellrodt has developed five special stories for the game and recorded them as short radio plays. Stilla von Abenberg, Wolfram von Eschenbach, Mathes the journeyman stonemason, Carolus Siegismundus von Tratzberg and the opera singer Anton Schott accompany the players around the history of the castle. On a colourful hidden object picture, all the figures from the different periods meet together and invite you to discover the lively diversity of the castle's history - wonderfully illustrated by Helmut Binder from Abenberg.

Note: The game lasts about 45 minutes and is intended for families with children aged 7 and over. The game can be played for 24 hours, as the treasure hunt takes place entirely outside the castle.

Beautiful hiking trails, idyllic tranquillity and fairytale beauty characterise Eberbach am Neckar and the surrounding landscape.

Those who want to marvel not only at native trees and shrubs but also at their exotic relatives will find them in the Eberbach Arboretum. Divided into 17 geographical areas, there are over 200 different plant species.

Did you know that Germany's tallest tree at times is in Eberbach?
The Douglas firs in the region have always attracted attention because of their enormous vigour. That is why in 1997 they were measured by experts using the most modern measuring equipment. The result was impressive: one of the Douglas firs had reached a growth height of 59.9 metres and was thus considered the tallest tree in Germany. In the meantime, the Douglas fir measures a proud 62.45 metres.

Swin- und Fußball Golf in Horbach - Langenzenn

Swin Golf is the new trend sport from France. At the beginning of the 80s, Laurent de Vilmorin developed the Swin club and the Swin ball for golfers who also want to practice their sport on a rustic terrain. Playing golf without etiquette and incomprehensible rules, child's play to learn. Without the expensive membership and equipment common in "classic" golf, Swin Golf is the ideal recreational fun for the whole family.

Football golf has its origins in Scandinavia. Our course comprises 18 holes on an area of 30,000 m². The game is played with a normal football, which is shot from a tee into a defined target. Between the tee and the target, various obstacles have to be overcome. The aim is to complete the entire 18 holes with as few shots as possible. The ideal leisure time fun for the whole family!

Tiergarten mit Bionicum - Nürnberg

Nuremberg Zoo, with its numerous water features, old trees, sandstone formations and extensive meadows, is rightly considered one of the largest and most beautiful landscape zoos in Europe. Covering 63 hectares, it is home to around 2,700 animals from some 270 species. It bridges the gap between the native habitat for many water birds and fish, deserts, semi-deserts and steppes, which are home to Grevy's zebras, Somali wild asses and goitered gazelles, and the tropical rainforest in the Manatee House. In the Aqua Park, otters, penguins, sea lions and polar bears frolic in an extensive water landscape. The dolphinarium, which opened in 1971, was supplemented in 2011 by the dolphin lagoon, the first outdoor facility for dolphins in Germany. Nuremberg Zoo participates in 46 international breeding programmes and is a partner zoo of the Species Protection Foundation.

Bionicum at Nuremberg Zoo

What can we humans learn from nature and why is this so important for the future of our blue planet? Children and adults can find answers to these questions in the 400 m² interactive exhibition "Ideenreich Natur". The museum offers information on topics relevant to the future such as nature and species conservation, biodiversity and sustainable resource utilisation, creative innovations and technologies of the future. In addition to exciting background information, visitors can also immerse themselves in the world of bionics using original exhibits and hands-on experiments. Last but not least, a bionic tour leads through the zoo, where the biological models can be marvelled at directly at the animal enclosures.

Veste-Express: Coburgs "Bimmelbahn"

Of course, you can also reach the Veste Coburg on foot. The very varied walk through the idyllic courtyard garden takes about half an hour and is great fun - especially in fine weather. However, the castle complex is on an elevation and the path leads steadily uphill. So walkers need to have a bit of stamina and fitness to walk up the hill. It is much more comfortable to take the Coburg Geckobahn, which children like to call the "Bimmelbahn". During the summer months, the yellow-green Veste Express waits for its guests in Herrngasse near Coburg's tourist information office - conveniently almost in front of an ice cream parlour - and takes them up to the Fränkische Krone and back along the edge of the Hofgarten.

The Coburg Geckobahn runs from Tuesday to Sunday from April to October, depending on the weather. You can find out the exact times at the tourist information office, at the bus stop or here.

Holdergrund with red deer nature trail

A beautiful hiking trail leads around the wild boar and red deer enclosures in the Holdergrund. The red deer nature trail conveys the connections between forest and red deer. Along the way, there are three barbecue facilities in addition to a very idyllic section along the Holderbach. The Itterbach, which flows by, invites especially children to play. The starting and end point of the round trip is the nature park hiking board at the parking lot in the Holdergrund. This is how you find your way to the hiking parking lot: Follow the road "Alte Dielbacher Straße" into the woods until you reach the barrier. Here you will find a nature park overview board with various hiking trails.

The Hundshaupten Wildlife Park is a favourite destination for families in particular.

Parents can enjoy good Franconian cuisine in the catering area while the children play with the goats within sight or have fun in the playground.
