Wein-Tauber hiking trail - circular route from Bronnbach

You start in Bronnbach at the monastery's Orangerie and initially walk about 250m along the street on the right side of the Tauber before turning right into a protected forest. Cross a small stream and walk along the forest edge. After the second bridge, go down to the left before walking through the vineyard terraces. The Satzenberg vineyard is the only still cultivated terrace area in Tauberfranken. From here, you can enjoy the beautiful view of Bronnbach and Reicholzheim.

Fourteen stone crosses mark your further path to the wine village of Reicholzheim. You pass through the village (a hearty wine tasting stop is recommended here) up to St. George's Church, then briefly climb steeply uphill. Further to the left, you reach the Heiligenweinberg with views of the wine village and the Tauber valley. Before reaching the Trinity Chapel, a small detour to the "High Rock", the highest waterfall (about 10m) in the Tauber valley, is worthwhile.

After the chapel, follow the hiking trail over the heights of Reicholzheim, and after crossing an agricultural path, go through bushes and hedges into the Reicholzheim ridge. Here you reach the highest point of the route with magnificent views as far as the Spessart and Odenwald. From now on, it is all downhill. First to the former monastery estate "Schafhof" and on the last stretch to Bronnbach, you walk parallel to the stream of the Bronnbach. After about 3 hours of hiking and having covered about 10 km, you reach our starting point again.
