Discover Schwarzenbronn

Schwarzenbronn combines the seasonal appeal of Schwarzenbronn Lake with the hiking trail into the Hohbachtal valley, the community life of the Oberländer Musikanten and traditional German cuisine. Local offerings have different highlights: a summer’s day by the water, fresh-air activities or a glimpse into music rehearsals. When planning, you can first decide what kind of stay you are looking for.

Summer by the lake and activities in the Hohbachtal valley

In summer, you can swim in Schwarzenbronn Lake. A 2021 description calls the idyllic hiking trail into the Hohbachtal valley a route that attracts hikers, cyclists and walkers. The lake is ideal for a seasonal day of swimming; the valley trail is for those who prefer to get around on foot, by bike or on a walk.

A seating area was installed along the hiking trail in April 2021, offering a place to rest after physical activity or take a break from exercise. Check its current condition before your visit. In the Hohbachtal valley, the Schwarzenbronn LandFrauen have set up a rest area for hikers, along with an information board for taking a break from exercise. There are therefore two kinds of places to pause: the seating area is intended for resting after physical activity or taking a break from exercise; the rest area is for hikers and has an information board.

Music and traditional German cuisine

The Oberländer Musikanten hold their youth training sessions and the subsequent practice evenings on Tuesdays at the village community centre in Creglingen-Schwarzenbronn. Interested visitors can drop in as guests, talk to the group and possibly take part. The Tuesday sessions bring youth training and practice evenings together at the same location; the opportunity to visit as a guest offers a personal glimpse into the group’s activities.

The Zum Goldenen Ross inn in Schwarzenbronn serves traditional German cuisine. Check whether it is currently open before your visit.

More highlights in the wider destination of Creglingen

In the wider destination of Creglingen, the upper reservoir of the Münsterseen lakes offers its own natural highlight. The Herrgottsbach flows directly into it; by the lake, a fishing education trail, meadows, a stream and woodland invite you to relax and explore.

The Jewish Museum Creglingen documents the Jewish history of Creglingen and Archshofen from the beginning of the 17th century to 1939 in its exhibition “Roots and Routes.” Reinhold Schneider explores a different subject: in Creglingen, he deliberately grows medicinal and fragrant roses, cultivates more than 100 wild rose varieties in his fields, and offers seminars and guided tours.

City tours are also among the options in the wider destination of Creglingen. They are offered in German and Russian, including a tour following in Riemenschneider’s footsteps. Check in advance which dates are actually available.

The Mühlweg offers insights into Creglingen’s history in past centuries through information panels and leads to the Herrgottskirche and the Fingerhutmuseum, which are about one kilometre outside Creglingen. At the Lindleinturm, limited space places a clear constraint on group size: the visit is suitable only for smaller groups or groups with plenty of time; no more than six people can visit the tower at once. It is worth checking current visiting arrangements before your visit.
