Discover Nauheim
Accommodation in Nauheim
Several distinct themes can be explored on a trip to Nauheim: local history and musical instruments at the local history museum, leisure activities at Hegbachsee, and the connection to the Regional Park Circular Route. When choosing a destination, you can weigh up whether culture, relaxation by the lake or a look at the wider region should be the deciding factor. If you are looking for a hotel in Nauheim, this gives you an initial overview of the town’s different highlights.
Local History and Musical Instruments
The Nauheim Local History Museum is dedicated to the local history of Nauheim. Its musical instrument section contains nearly 200 instruments from various historical periods. The collection is therefore not limited to a single time period: anyone interested in musical history will find a thematic overview spanning several eras. Together with its focus on local history, the museum gives Nauheim’s cultural offering a distinctive character.
The coach house displays old machines and tools, primarily associated with musical instrument making. The instrument collection and the coach house thus offer different points of interest: historical instruments from various periods in one, and tools associated with instrument making in the other. This combination of local history and a clearly defined craft theme makes the local history museum a distinctive cultural highlight in Nauheim.
Leisure and Nature at Hegbachsee
Hegbachsee is a recreational hub for the surrounding municipalities. The leisure area includes campsites, a weekend home development, restaurants, sunbathing lawns, a playground and a children’s paddling pool. This brings together a range of activities: time outdoors, opportunities for play and dining options. For your trip planning, Hegbachsee is therefore a different kind of highlight from the local history museum’s cultural and historical focus.
Hegbachsee is also home to a DLRG children’s outdoor pool with a teaching pool. As its availability may change, check before visiting. The nature along the shore is also part of the area’s character: it features a diverse range of plant life. Hegbachsee is a habitat, resting place or feeding ground for many bird species that depend on water. Hegbachsee is therefore both a leisure area and a natural environment.
The Regional Park and the Wider Travel Destination
Nauheim is connected to the Regional Park Circular Route. The route is 190 kilometres long and links 35 municipalities across the regional landscape. Regional Park routes are signposted throughout and feature experience stations and information boards. The Regional Park Circular Route follows well-developed paths away from roads. Its length and the number of municipalities it connects show the regional scale of this route.
