Hiking

You will find a pearl of the Renaissance in small Weikersheim: Weikersheim Castle with its magnificent park is a wonderful intermediate destination on a hike. The fact that the castle can be preserved so well is mainly due to the fact that it was bought by the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1967 and a lot of funds have been made available since then.

You can find the opening times and further information about the castle here: schloss-weikersheim.de/besuchsinformation/oeffnungszeiten.

Weikersheim Castle is considered the most beautiful of the castles in Hohenlohe. The perfect preservation, not only of the castle, but also of the area surrounding the count's residence is impressive. The highlight is the baroque palace garden with its unique wealth of figures.

The Palace Park:

The section of the historic palace park, designed in the style of Versailles, ends in the south with the orangeries, where potted plants overwinter and exotic plants find shelter. The eastern orangery is open to visitors. There you will find, for example, lemon and orange trees.

Many statues can be seen in the palace park. The more delicate ones are wrapped up in winter to protect them from the elements.

To the north, towards the palace, the park ends with the so-called Dwarf Avenue.
