Rehling: Daylily Field, Scherneck Castle and Parish Church

Rehling brings together nature observation, outdoor activity and culture in different forms. The daylily field blooms in June; a named circular hiking trail starts in Rehling-St. Stephan; the church and castle provide historical highlights. When choosing a hotel in Rehling, you can first consider whether plants, trails or cultural destinations should shape your stay.

Nature and trails in Rehling

In the municipality of Rehling, the floodplain meadow of the daylily field blooms in June and attracts numerous visitors each year who are interested in botanical treasures. Various orchid species grow there alongside daylilies. The bloom offers botanically interested travellers a specific seasonal point of reference. The plant life thus provides a different focus from the history of the church and castle or events in the municipality.

One named option for getting outdoors is the circular hiking trail “Across the Daylily Field to Scherneck”. It starts in Rehling-St. Stephan and runs exclusively along paved and surfaced roads and paths. As routes and surfaces can change, check the current route description before setting out. Scherneck Castle also has two beer gardens; a visit there can be combined with a hike or a walk along the lime-tree avenue. This puts a specifically described circular hike and a walking option alongside a visit to the castle.

Church, castle and events

Rehling Parish Church was built in 1793 and is dedicated to Saint Vitus and Saint Catherine. Events are held at Scherneck Castle every year, including concerts and a medieval market. As the specific programme varies, it is worth checking the dates before your trip. The Scherneck Castle Brewery has been operating since 1719. Together, the church, castle events and brewery history offer different cultural points of interest during a stay.
