The Galgenberg above Neuhausen is a small plateau with a pond and beautiful pine trees. There's plenty of space between the trees, and interesting soil features likely mark a turbulent border past. According to the Neuhausen local chronicle, the last death sentence was carried out there in 1793, on a woman who had poisoned her husband.

Beautiful local recreation area, with the Paulinensee having its own charm in every season. Especially in autumn, the colorful trees are beautifully reflected on the mostly smooth water surface. Various seating areas are available, and several hiking trails also pass by here (including the Mönsheimer Gipfeltour).

Small retreat near the Öschelbronn clinic. Easily accessible from there and also from town via a hiking trail.

The Paulinensee is probably the most popular local recreation area in the area. Not only for the locals but also for foreigners. Both the outdoor pool and the football field attract young and old alike on days off. Many beautiful paths offer visitors the opportunity to take a leisurely walk or a long hiking tour. The benches along the paths invite you to rest and linger, and the barbecue area by the lake is ideal for a longer break. The 5 kilometer long forest nature trail is particularly suitable for jogging or walking. Even in winter it won't be boring at Paulinensee, because then you can go on a great sleigh ride on the forest nature trail and then race down the meadow slope behind the outdoor pool.
