Discover Goldbach

Goldbach offers a range of options for different kinds of days: trails through the municipal area, an outdoor pool open seasonally, an indoor pool and the Catholic parish church of St. Nicholas.

Hiking trails through Goldbach’s municipal area

Five trails maintained by the Spessartbund and ASP run through Goldbach’s municipal area. There are also three local hiking trails, a running trail maintained by TV-Goldbach and a route connecting the town centre with Hauptstraße. The options therefore include different types of routes: hiking trails, a running trail and a connection between the two named parts of the town. If you want outdoor exercise to be part of your stay, you can include this selection in your plans without treating the different routes as equivalent.

Outdoor and indoor pools

The outdoor pool has large pools and two water slides; it is open seasonally. The indoor pool makes swimming possible in winter too. Its sports pool is 16.33 metres long, 9 metres wide and has four lanes. This means there are two distinct swimming options: an outdoor pool with slides and an indoor pool whose dimensions and number of lanes are specified. Check the indoor pool’s current opening status before your trip.

St. Nicholas and the Peace Mile

The Catholic parish church of St. Nicholas at Weidenbörnerstraße 1 is a Neo-Romanesque basilica dating from 1895. A polygonal war memorial chapel is associated with the church. The Peace Mile is also one of Goldbach’s attractions. If you would like to include culture in your travel plans, you can consider both as distinct points of interest.

Cycling and hiking options in the wider Aschaffenburg destination

The wider Aschaffenburg destination offers further cycling and hiking options in the district of Aschaffenburg. The family-friendly MainRadweg runs through the district’s Main valley and is well signposted. The Kahltal-Spessart-Radweg is a signposted route through the district’s landscapes. In the eastern Hochspessart, four challenging cross-country trails are signposted as Bikewald-Spessart routes. The cycling options described therefore differ in character: the MainRadweg is designated as family-friendly, while the four cross-country trails are considered challenging. If you are planning a specific trip, it is advisable to check local signage and trail conditions.

For cycling tours in the district, the “Denk mal – Rad mal” app offers scenic rides in nature, combined with stories, quizzes and information about attractions. Check whether the app is available before your trip. The wider Aschaffenburg destination also offers a range of hiking options: Spessart Trails 1, 2 and 3 run through the district and have already been awarded the German Hiking Association’s “Quality Trails Wanderbares Deutschland” designation four times. The Archaeological Spessart Project’s cultural trails include more than 30 hikes in the district; the Eselsweg is a multi-day tour. The Spessart in the district of Aschaffenburg is part of Germany’s largest contiguous mixed-forest area.
