Kirchberg Hut, Bensheim

Highlight • Restaurant

The cottage on the Kirchberg was planned and built by several wealthy citizens of Bensheim. After its festive inauguration in 1857, it became a popular excursion destination of the distinguished Bensheim society.

Today there is a tourist restaurant in the beautifully restored Kirchberghäuschen. The view from the terrace is still stunning. The Kirchberghäuschen is open all year from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 o'clock.

December 10, 2023,Bensheimer Panoramaweg und Weihnachtsmarkt

Today we spontaneously decided on Bensheim and the Christmas market there. But the mulled wine has to be earned and so we took the Bensheimer Panoramaweg as a template and modified it slightly. We parked at the train station and first walked through the city to the blue tower, where we were recently. With a great view and always blue …

November 4, 2023,Colorful autumn hike on the Bergerstrasse

First of all thank you for the inspiration @MoHam. Despite the rain showers and strong winds, we had a nice varied hike in this dazzlingly beautiful area. It was enjoying the beautiful fall colors, vistas and clean air. Our lunch was disrupted by a shower and gusts of wind but that didn't spoil the fun. This area is highly recommended!

Switching off my brain, walking along, enjoying myself, not having to worry about a thing. And after a morning workout, it's perfectly fine to continue at a leisurely pace. Today is …

This tour is very varied and is always fun to run. It was still a little early for the Indian Summer in the vineyards, so it will be repeated soon like this or in a variation 👌☀️🍂

The start is at the train station in Bensheim. Then it goes briefly through the beautiful old town and soon uphill towards the …
