Korb: Vineyards, Trails and Church History

Korb brings together several specific reasons to explore: vineyards on the Korber Kopf, the fruit tree educational trail in the Dornhau, the Way of St. James and a church with an early Gothic history. This lets you discover the town through a range of themes rather than focusing your trip on a single activity.

Vineyards and trails in Korb

You can stroll through the vineyards on the Korber Kopf. The fruit tree educational trail in the Dornhau is located between Korb and Schwaikheim, within Korb’s municipal area. The two landscape themes offer distinct experiences: the walk on the Korber Kopf passes through vineyards, while the fruit tree educational trail is the focus in the Dornhau. You can choose between a vineyard walk and a trail focused on fruit trees.

There is a launch site for paragliders on the slope of the Kleinheppacher Kopf. The Way of St. James also passes through Korb: its route runs from Winnenden through Korb to Endersbach. Alongside the walks and educational trail, there is therefore a paragliding site and a section of a long-distance route.

A Gothic window and an early Gothic connection

The Protestant church in Korb has a Gothic window and a valuable crucifix from the early Gothic chapel, which was converted into a church in 1500. The window and crucifix connect the church with its early Gothic past; the year 1500 marks the chapel’s conversion into a church. This gives visitors interested in architectural and church history a distinct cultural attraction alongside the trails and vineyards.

Walking and cycling in the Rems-Murr district

In the wider Rems-Murr district destination, the 50-kilometre Rems-Murr hiking trail offers a different way to plan a tour: it can be hiked in three stages from Endersbach via Winnenden to Murrhardt. The entire trail is well served by local public transport, so a car is not needed to get there. Route navigation can be downloaded to a smartphone. As a cycling route, the Remstal cycle path starts at Endersbach station in Weinstadt, runs via Kernen and Fellbach towards Remseck am Neckar, and is around 106 kilometres long. This offers a choice between a three-stage hiking route and a cycling route of around 106 kilometres.

The Limes and regional excursions

The seasonal Limesbus Nord, route 372, runs from May until the second-to-last Sunday in October on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, travelling from Murrhardt via Grab and Großerlach to Mainhardt and back. It makes it possible to hike to sites along the UNESCO World Heritage Limes or take part in guided tours led by the Limes Cicerones. Check the current operating days before travelling. Another option is the Idyllic Road, which includes a circular route near Großerlach from Grab via the Rottal valley to the UNESCO World Heritage Limes.

Culture and food in the wider destination

In Murrhardt, a night watchman tells stories and legends by torchlight. The activity is also suitable for children, who can bring lanterns. At the Murrhardt Nature Park Centre, visitors can get information about guided tours, events, markets and projects run by the Quality Nature Park Association of the Swabian-Franconian Forest.

In Fellbach, the Fellbacher Weingärtner winery at the Neue Kelter offers wine tastings, cellar tours and a snack. The annual Weintreff takes place at the Alte Kelter: a stylish tasting where numerous wine producers and other regional food and drink artisans from the Remstal-Stuttgart region present their products. Check the dates and availability of tours, wine experiences and events locally.

When looking for accommodation in Korb, the local trails, vineyards and church history can serve as a starting point. If you would like to include other themes, the distinct destinations across the wider Rems-Murr district add hiking, cycling, the Limes and regional culture to the options.
