Hiking

Schmidmühlen nestles in the valleys of the Vils and Lauterbach. The special thing about this small place are the three castles in the center: the Upper Castle, which is now home to the town hall, the Hammer Castle and the Brick Castle. Upper castle and hammer castle used to be aristocratic residences and the brickworks castle was built by the heir of a brickworks owner who earned the money he needed by making snuff boxes.

Schmidmühlen is a recognized climatic health resort. Here you will find cozy overnight accommodations and a good selection of inns.

Very beautiful former Hofmarkburg, which was probably built on the walls of a moated castle, essentially from the 13th century. In the 20th century the chateau was used as a warehouse for hops and grain. The market town has belonged to it since 1937 and has since been used as the town hall. There is a charging station for e-bikes.
