“Do as the sundial does, count only the bright hours.”
This is perhaps the most famous saying about sundials.

Dive into the fascinating world of sundials and experience how the sun not only brightens our day but also allows us to determine time in various ways.

The Röttingen Sundial Path takes you through our picturesque town, presenting an artistically designed sundial at each station that unites history, science, and technology.
Röttingen is also known as the "City of Sundials." This nickname is due to its approximately 2 km long circular path featuring 25 different sundials.
A selection of particularly special sundials along the route is described in the virtual version of the Sundial Path and explained in video and audio contributions.
Interesting Facts
A sundial typically consists of a gnomon (a stick or straight edge) whose shadow indicates the time on a dial marked with hours. However, the Röttingen Sundial Path offers many other forms of this unique timekeeping method: a ring-ball sundial, a sundial using light refraction through a glass fragment, a solstice sundial, and much more.

The creator of these fascinating sundials was master locksmith Kurt Fuchslocher from Bad Mergentheim, who passed away in 2010.

Tip: It is advisable to explore the Sundial Path on sunny days, but even on overcast days, you can discover the beauty and diversity of the various sundials.
