Discover Kleinmaischeid

Kleinmaischeid brings together a May Market described by the local community, the historically dated branch church of St. Wendelinus and the Holzbock Hiking Trail. These topics offer different focuses for planning your trip: market activity, local history and hiking in the Rhein-Westerwald Nature Park.

The May Market in Kleinmaischeid

The local community describes the May Market as featuring well over 150 market traders, who offer their goods at stalls along a shopping mile several hundred metres long. It counts the market among the largest traders’ markets in northern Rhineland-Palatinate. If the market is the reason for your trip, check the event dates for your planned stay.

St. Wendelinus and local history

The branch church of St. Wendelinus in Kleinmaischeid was consecrated for church use on 14 June 1953 by Dean Dr Friedrich from Neuwied.

Hiking in the Rhein-Westerwald Nature Park

Kleinmaischeid is located in the Rhein-Westerwald Nature Park, whose extensive network of hiking trails leads through forests and stream valleys. The Holzbock Hiking Trail offers a specific route with several named points.

The Holzbock Hiking Trail

The Holzbock Hiking Trail starts at the village community centre and initially heads east to the old boundary oak at the boundary between the districts of Kleinmaischeid and Großmaischeid. It then descends via field, forest and meadow paths to the Ommelsbach stream and follows it. The route passes the Kleinmaischeid barbecue hut along a forest path; a final climb leads back to the centre of Kleinmaischeid, the starting point of the hike.

The travel advice varies: for the May Market, check the dates for your planned stay; for the Holzbock Hiking Trail, it is advisable to check the tour planner for temporary changes.
