The Hohenlohe and Tauber Valley region surprises with exciting contrasts: narrow gorges and wide plateaus, mighty imperial cities and monasteries next to wild river landscapes on the Jagst, Kocher and Tauber rivers, world-class works of art next to agricultural successes such as the Swabian-Hall pig or Limpurger cattle. Along ancient pilgrim and trade routes, 18 varied hikes lead through the land of castles and farming between Heilbronn and Rothenburg ob der Tauber, between Schwäbisch Hall and Bad Mergentheim.
