Discover Sulzbach a.Main

Sulzbach a.Main offers a range of reasons to visit: a permanently signposted mountain bike circular route, a skate park and the history of Altenburg. The town also hosts cultural events. If you are looking for accommodation, first consider whether outdoor activities, early history or attending an event will be the main focus of your trip. If you are travelling with others, you can compare these interests without limiting your stay to just one activity.

Plan active days in different ways

The permanently signposted mountain bike route starts and ends at the festival grounds in Sulzbach. The circular route is around 29 kilometres long and follows dirt tracks, singletrack trails and gravel sections; gradients reach up to 25 per cent. Its length, terrain and gradients give you practical details to consider when planning your own ride. If you include the route in your plans, you can take these details into account when deciding how to fit your planned ride into the rest of your trip.

The skate park at the “Kolbensteinmauer” festival grounds invites you to give skating a try, practise and ride creatively. This offers two different kinds of active leisure: a signposted circular route with details on its length and gradients, and a facility focused on riding and practising.

Take the bus to the adventure trail

The Hutmannswald adventure trail is also accessible by bus. From the starting point at the Schützenhaus car park, the Rathaus (line 61) and Höhfeldstraße (lines 1 and 62) stops are each just a few minutes’ walk away. If you are factoring the bus into your plans, check the latest route and timetable information before travelling.

Altenburg and culture in Sulzbach

People settled at the Altenburg site around 4000 BC; Celts used the site during the Iron Age. These details relate to two different chapters of history: early settlement and the later use of the site by the Celts are separated by a considerable span of time. This gives history enthusiasts a glimpse into two distinct periods of use at Altenburg.

In November, the ensemble of St. Anne’s Church and the neighbouring Haus der Begegnung provides the setting for Sulzbach Concert Week. The Sulzbach Christmas market takes place on the third weekend of Advent in December, on the church square.

In the wider destination of Miltenberg

Miltenberg district lies between the Odenwald and Spessart ranges and is characterised by deeply incised river and stream valleys. This regional perspective complements Sulzbach’s specific activities and history with a wider view of the area. When planning your trip, you can weigh up whether individual attractions in Sulzbach or the landscape of the wider Miltenberg destination better suit your interests.

Miltenberg also offers cultural attractions. The district’s cultural weeks begin each year in mid-September and offer a varied programme for all ages. These include concerts featuring classical and contemporary music, as well as jazz and electronic music events; exact dates vary. The Stadt Museum presents the history of Miltenberg and the surrounding region in three historic half-timbered houses on the market square, the Schnatterloch. Along the Main Cycle Route, you can also discover numerous castles and castle ruins in the district, as well as their history.
