Discover Rehling

Rehling brings together nature, outdoor activities and history, with a particularly seasonal natural highlight: the floodplain meadow of the daylily field blooms in June. Various orchid species grow there alongside the daylilies. The meadow attracts numerous visitors with an interest in botany every year—a specific reason to take the time of year into account when planning your trip.

Nature, trails and Scherneck Castle

The circular hike “Across the daylily field to Scherneck” starts in Rehling-St. Stephan and follows only paved and surfaced roads and paths. This information about the surfaces may be helpful when planning your route.

Scherneck Castle has two beer gardens, and a visit can be combined with hiking or a walk along the linden avenue. Events are held at the castle every year, including concerts and a medieval market. The specific programme varies. The site’s history offers another point of interest: the Scherneck Castle Brewery has been in operation at Scherneck Castle since 1719.

Rehling’s parish church adds its own cultural note. Built in 1793, it is dedicated to Saint Vitus and Saint Catherine. These different themes are rooted in different times of year and history: the daylilies bloom in June, events return annually, and the church and castle brewery offer historical connections. When planning, you can therefore decide whether to focus on a particular season, an event date or cultural history.

Choose accommodation to suit your plans

If you are planning a family trip, it helps to first sort out the interests of everyone travelling with you. Should the June bloom shape your stay, will trails and walks be the focus, or would you mainly like to explore cultural themes? You can then compare the locations of the attractions with your planned daily activities. This way, you can choose a base to suit your travel plans rather than focusing on just one attraction.
