Großcomburg Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The monastery towers impressively on a ridge high above the Kochertal. Accordingly, you have an unforgettable view from above. The monastery complex is freely accessible. In addition, you can visit the collegiate church of St. Nicholas with a guided tour for 5 euros. Then you can strengthen yourself in the small café for the onward journey.

You can find more information about the monastery at kloster-grosscomburg.de.

Wooden bridge at the weir over the Kocher

Highlight • Bridge

Looks great when the water flows down the weir. The long bridge at the weir is also worth seeing. The fish ladder is also not far away.

Ackeranlagen Park, Schwäbisch Hall

Highlight • Rest Area

The "Ackeranlagen" city park in Schwäbisch Hall, with its old stock of trees, winds 3 km upstream from the Kocher island of Unterwohrd to the foot of the former Benedictine monastery "Großcomburg".

The site, which was renovated in 1982 for the State Horticultural Show, has retained its natural character and is now used for local recreation by the population.
From the Epinal Bridge on the edge of the historic old town, after 1 km you reach the former shooting range of the crossbow and rifle shooters from 1828, which today serves as a café with a beautiful terrace.

The traffic-free park with its cozy corners widens over the next 2 km and ends at the foot of the Großcomburg, which is one of the main sights of the city with its Romanesque art treasures and the defensive wall that can be walked all around.

Oldest Timber-Framed House in Schwäbisch Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Architecture and monument protection have a high priority in Schwäbisch Hall - especially in the unique historic old town. The oldest half-timbered house from 1289 is in Haalstraße.

Steinerner Steg

Highlight • Bridge

The five-arched sandstone bridge from the island of Großer Unterwöhrd to the former Unterwöhrds-Tor was built in 1516 and, together with the Red Bridge as a continuation next to the Henkersbrücke, represented an important connection between the old town and the suburbs beyond Kocher. Despite modern renovations, the original appearance of the bridge has been preserved, making it an important witness to the bridge construction of the late Middle Ages.

December 2, 2023,Tour durch das winterliche Schwäbisch Hall zur Großcomburg

Starting from the parking lot in the Weilerwiese in Hall, our tour went along the Kocher to Steinbach and then up the picture path to Großcomburg. Back in the snow-covered Schwäbisch Hall there was a little refreshment at the Christmas market.

The monastery has an interesting fortification system, and it is even possible to take a tour. Various architectural styles since the 11th century can be admired, the only drawback is that the church is only open during "guided tours". kloster-grosscomburg.de

After a short break, we are lured by the Großcomburg monastery, a monument of European importance that we had already seen on the way there, enthroned high above the city on a mountain ridge.

A lovely little hike takes us through the city park, fields and up to the monastery, which rises here above the Kocher valley, defensive and majestic. …
