Nature and Leisure

The Fritz-Wagner-Weg is a tree trail in Hochstetten. It runs from the clubhouse of the Gesangverein Einigkeit towards the go-kart track. Three information boards describe the trees and their locations, each pointing to the next board. The trail thus combines directions with information about the trees along the route.

Insel Rott is a local recreation area that’s well suited to longer walks. Two restaurants there serve fish dishes. If you’re planning a visit, check whether the restaurants are open beforehand, as availability may change.

At Baggersee Streitköpfle, you’ll find a sandy beach, shallow areas, parking, a kiosk and toilets. Local swimming rules and facilities may change; check the latest information before your visit. This gives you specific details to help plan a day at the lake without assuming that conditions will remain the same.

Culture and Local History

The tithe barn in Linkenheim was built in 1730, extended in 1809 and used as a tithe barn until 1837. Today, the Heimathaus Zehntscheuer is one of the venues for the local cultural program. It hosts 10 to 15 events each year, spanning music, cabaret, comedy and literature, at the Heimathaus Zehntscheuer or the Bürgerhaus. As the program may change, check the current calendar for a specific date.

Before the First World War, Hochstetten was also widely known for asparagus cultivation. This agricultural connection adds another chapter to the town’s history alongside the story of the tithe barn.

The Linkenheim-Hochstetten Observatory offers a monthly star chart and an astronomy glossary for beginners. The municipality’s Regio-App contains local information and details about events. Alongside the established historical points of interest, you can also find information about astronomy and municipal events.
