D'Ottilienberg calls: Experience the Eppingen local mountain in full width
On October 4, 2026, the Ottilienberg Tower in Eppingen will open its doors and invite to a charming excursion above the Kraichgau. From 11 AM to 5 PM, the discovery experience combines nature, local history, and impressive panoramic views with the warm hospitality of the German Alpine Club.
Wide view over Kraichgau, Black Forest and Nature Park
The Ottilienberg is a 2.08 hectares large clearing at around 310 meters height in the Stromberg-Heuchelberg Nature Park. In good weather, the view opens wide over Kraichgau, the Black Forest, Steinsberg, and the Palatinate Forest; on clear days, the sight even reaches the Vosges. This mixture of scenic romance and cultural enrichment makes the place so special.
Historical site with a clear profile
The Ottilienberg is closely connected to the history of Eppingen. The pilgrimage chapel dates back to the 15th century; the site was later included in the Eppingen lines and continues to shape the region as a historic viewpoint and hiking spot. Those who are here do not experience just any mountain peak, but a piece of local heritage that visibly brings together nature and the past.
Catering, resting places, and walking paths
Around the chapel, tables, benches, and covered spaces are available. In addition, there is a resting and picnic area with a grill spot as well as connections to walking and hiking paths at the Ottilienberg. The surroundings are ideal for a relaxed tour, a break with a view, and a pleasant stay outdoors.
Access and orientation on-site
The Ottilienberg is located between Eppingen and Kleingartach on the L1110. The access is directly from the main road, and parking spaces are available on-site. Thus, the excursion experience begins straightforwardly and clearly, even for guests specifically traveling to the tower or for a small hike.
Conclusion: A Sunday destination with a view and atmosphere
D'Ottilienberg calls is the right choice for all who want to experience panorama, nature, and history in one place. The opening of the tower combines a love for hiking, regional culture, and cozy catering into a special day above Eppingen. Those who want to discover the Kraichgau from its most beautiful side should definitely plan this date.
