Discover Linkenheim-Hochstetten

Linkenheim-Hochstetten invites you to focus on nature, local history and culture, depending on your interests. In Hochstetten, the Fritz-Wagner-Weg tree trail leads from the Gesangverein Einigkeit clubhouse towards the go-kart track. Three information boards describe the locations and species of trees and each point to the next board. This combines finding your way with brief insights into the trees along the trail.

Enjoy nature and explore the outdoors

Streitköpfle quarry lake has a sandy beach and shallow areas. Parking, a kiosk and toilets are also among the facilities listed. As local swimming permissions and facilities may change, check the latest information before your visit. This makes it easier to plan your time at the lake without assuming any particular swimming conditions.

Insel Rott is a local recreation area and is ideal for long walks. Two restaurants on the island serve fish dishes; check in advance whether they are available. A walk and a meal are two different ways to enjoy the island, and can be combined there.

Local history and culture

A prominent landmark in Linkenheim’s history is the Zehntscheuer. The building was constructed in 1730, extended in 1809 and used as a tithe barn until 1837. These dates show that its history extended beyond its original construction and that it was used for more than a century.

The Heimathaus Zehntscheuer also plays a part in the cultural calendar: together with the Bürgerhaus, it hosts 10 to 15 events each year, ranging from music, cabaret and comedy to literature. The programme may change, so if you are planning to attend an event, it is worth checking the latest dates.

Hochstetten’s agricultural past includes vegetable and tobacco cultivation. Before the First World War, Hochstetten was widely known for growing asparagus. These historical connections add another dimension to the impressions made by walking trails and events: the town’s former agricultural character.
