Großcomburg Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The monastery towers impressively on a ridge high above the Kochertal. Accordingly, you have an unforgettable view from above. The monastery complex is freely accessible. In addition, you can visit the collegiate church of St. Nicholas with a guided tour for 5 euros. Then you can strengthen yourself in the small café for the onward journey.

You can find more information about the monastery at kloster-grosscomburg.de.

Wilhelmsglück Quarry

Highlight • Structure

Without the extraction of raw materials in quarries, most of the evidence of the history of the earth and life in the Baden-Württemberg Franconia would never have been discovered.

In order to promote science and research in the field of paleontology in our region, we founded the Alberti Foundation with our plants in Ummenhofen and Wilhelmsglück together with 18 other shell limestone plants on April 17th, 1998. With the income from the foundation's capital, the Alberti Foundation supports individual projects and awards the Alberti Prize every two years.

A board member of the Alberti Foundation, collector and private paleontologist, Dr. Hans Hagdorn, in connection with the city of Ingelfingen, brought the Muschelkalkmuseum into being and thus created a permanent exhibition on the earth and life history of the Triassic period in Central Europe. It's worth a visit.

January 14, 2024,Einkorn – Kloster Großcomburg Runde von Schwäbisch Hall (Schwäbisch Hall Teil 1)
Today I started another longer hike shortly before 8 a.m. from Schwäbisch Hall train station. The advantage is that you can arrive by train or, like me, park directly for free.
At the beginning of the tour you have to cover a few small meters in altitude, including some stairs, so that you can always see the view through the …

This time we went from Schwäbisch Hall along the Kocher to Michelbach. Then up to the Einkorn with the wonderful view. A stop in the beautiful beer garden was also planned. Then we went back to Schwäbisch Hall. A very nice tour.
