Discover Bruchköbel

Bruchköbel combines historic sites in the town centre and its districts with designated cycling routes and public transport connections. If you are looking for a hotel in Bruchköbel, you can plan your stay around whether you would like to explore historic buildings on foot, hike or cycle, or use buses and trains. The following topics will help you find the right way to explore the town based on your travel interests.

Historic sites in the town centre and its districts

At Freier Platz in the town centre, the tower of St James’s Church, the Old Town Hall, the former Lutheran church, now the town library, and other buildings form an ensemble. The square is a convenient starting point if you would like to view historic buildings on a walk through the town centre.

In Roßdorf, the Old Town Hall on Hanauer Straße, built around 1700, is a landmark; the town hall fountain and bakehouse are part of the site. The Protestant church in Niederissigheim was built between 1735 and 1738. In Oberissigheim, the church with its fountain on Langstraße is a well-known feature of the district.

Historic buildings in the town centre can be explored on foot. Information boards are displayed at historically significant buildings; overview boards include QR codes that you can scan to access further background information on your smartphone. If you would like to use the additional digital information, check that the QR codes are available before your visit.

Cycling routes and the 5-Star Circular Route

Bruchköbel has seven designated cycling routes with detailed signposting. The “Green Ring” around Hanau also passes through Bruchköbel’s municipal area. The 5-Star Circular Route offers other useful details: it is around 30 kilometres long, suitable for hiking and cycling, and passes four viewpoints.

The route passes the “Fliegerhorst” and “Frankfurt Skyline” viewpoints before reaching Oberissigheim, then runs via Butterstadt to the “Hohe Straße”, past Roßdorf and through Mittelbuchen into the forest. The circular route is used year-round as a recreational hiking trail; athletic trekking events are also held along the route.

You therefore have different information to help plan your trip: the seven cycling routes are clearly signposted in detail, while the 5-Star Circular Route is described by its length, viewpoints and route sequence. This lets you choose a tour that suits your cycling or hiking plans without inferring a walking or cycling time from the approximate distance.
