Hornbach Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The history of the Hornbach monastery dates back to the 8th century. You can walk through the cloister, recharge your batteries in the chapel or take a break in the monastery garden. Today there is a hotel and restaurant in the complex. When the weather is nice, you can fortify yourself in the beer garden before or after your hike. More information about the monastery can be found here: kloster-hornbach.de.

Alexander Tower ruins with panoramic views over Böckweiler

Highlight • Historical Site

The former 26.35 meter high "Böckweiler observation tower" - Alexanderturm, completed in 1893, was blown up by German pioneers in the first days of the war (on September 9th at midnight).
Many beautiful paths lead to the ruins.

St. Stephen's Church, Böckweiler

Highlight • Religious Site

The Stephanuskirche with the linden fountain is in the center of Böckweiler. It is believed that there was an ancient pagan place of worship already in pre-Roman and Roman times. After the Second World War, the badly damaged church was rebuilt. The interior is simple, but it is worth taking a look inside.
