Discover Hennweiler

Hennweiler combines architectural history in its historic center with a local sightseeing route, viewpoints and a mountain bike trail. If you are looking for a hotel in Hennweiler, these themes can help you choose where to stay: church architecture and local traditions go hand in hand with opportunities to explore the outdoors. The local route and Devils Rock Trail differ in both length and focus.

Churches and local history

The Protestant Church of Hennweiler stands on a slight rise in the historic center. Its Baroque nave was built in 1790/1791. A Romanesque priest's portal was uncovered on the exterior in 2018. The Romanesque church tower was rebuilt after a major fire around 1436; stylistically, it is dated to the second half of the 13th century. The construction date and the later reconstruction are two separate historical details. The Old School is a protected monument. In Bad Kreuznach, the bridge houses were built from 1480 onward on the pillars of the old Nahe Bridge, built around 1300, due to a lack of space.

Local route and mountain biking

The Hennweiler local sightseeing route is 6.3 km long and has an elevation difference of 70 m. The Devils Rock Trail Hennweiler has a different focus: this 1.7 km mountain bike route features natural and flow sections, as well as smaller and larger jumps. A sightseeing route is thus complemented by a shorter mountain bike trail with its own named trail features. When choosing, you can consider not only the distance but also the kind of tour you would like to take.

Viewpoints and shelter

Hennweiler's viewpoints include Blickenstein, at 582 m on the Soonwaldsteig trail, Wehlenstein, at 498 m, and the Teufelsfels observation tower. The listed elevations of Blickenstein and Wehlenstein differ by 84 m. This lets you compare the stated elevations of these two spots.

Those seeking shelter can use the Teufelsfels Hut; overnight stays are also possible there if needed.

Village culture and planning your visit

The Backes is considered Hennweiler's largest and only bakehouse. It is part of the annual Beer and Backes Hike, which involves three villages. If you would like to plan your trip around this event, check the date in advance.

A restaurant in Hennweiler serves Kirner beer and regional Nahe wines such as Riesling, Grauburgunder and Dornfelder. Drinks on offer may change; if you are interested in a particular option, check before your visit.

The motorhome site has space for three motorhomes. Three CEE outlets, each rated at 1,200 W, are provided for the power supply. Capacity and technical details may change as a result of municipal changes. If these details are important for planning your trip, check them in advance. The recreational area is intended to remain open to the public.
