A sunny view Sunday on the Ottilienberg
On November 1, 2026, the Ottilienberg tower near Eppingen will open its doors from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The German Alpine Club, Eppingen district group, will manage the popular viewpoint and invites visitors to enjoy a relaxing outing with panoramic views, nature experiences, and local refreshments.
Panorama, nature, and history to touch
The Ottilienberg is a roughly 2.08-hectare forest clearing in the Stromberg-Heuchelberg Nature Park near the half-timbered town of Eppingen. From here, in good weather, one can enjoy expansive views over the Kraichgau, the Black Forest, the Steinsberg, and the Palatinate Forest, and with a bit of luck, even as far as the Vosges. The combination of views, forest atmosphere, and cultural historical depth makes the place a real discovery experience.
Strolling paths with views and rest areas
Several walking and hiking trails run around the Ottilienberg. Particularly attractive are the Wander3Klänge Eppingen with distances ranging from 3.5 to 13.2 kilometers, as well as the Jägersee with its lakeside path and the family-friendly Waldpfühl path. On-site, tables, benches, covered areas, and a rest and picnic area with a grill invite visitors to linger.
A place deeply rooted in the region
The Ottilienberg is part of the historically significant heights around Eppingen. The pilgrimage chapel was founded in 1473 and continues to shape the area alongside the tower. The Monument Foundation of Baden-Württemberg honored the medieval pilgrimage chapel as Monument of the Month in September 2015. Those who venture here experience local history in a particularly authentic landscape.
Arrival and meeting point
