- Hiking to the two Castles and Buchkligen. Odenwald forest is a nice place to go hiking. Follow the white square - signs that are painted on lampposts and trees from the Windeck castle and you will get to the Wachenburg castle. If you are still not tired after this 300m ascent on mount "Wachenberg" you can follow the white square to Buchklingen, a small village in Odenwald forests. Here you will find a pub "Grüner Baum" to chill your thirst with a Beer or Apple Wine (local specialty!). Of course you can also have a big Schnitzel. (This pub is closed from Monday to Wednesday, unless there is a holiday.)
- The Kerwe festival taking place from Friday to Monday on the 2nd weekend in August is the annual celebration of the anniversary of the consecration of the church, but really just a party during which the Marktplatz and the surrounding Altstadt (old part of the city) is crowded, and thousands of lanterns are lit in the Schlosspark on Saturday.
- Lake Waidsee The place to stay cool on hot summer days, also offers you a nice lawn to relax in the sun. Entrance fee: €4.00 for the whole day.
- Miramar. Swimming pool - adventure pool with a sauna. Not cheap but big. Entrance fee €20.90 for 4 hours. (updated May 2022)
- Wine tasting - there is no vineyard in Weinheim, only (expensive) wine shops, but there are many farmers making wine along Bergstaße (Highway B3), for instance in towns like Lützelsachsen, Großsachsen, Leuterhausen. Get off the RNV 5/5R tram at some stop on the way between Weinheim and Heidelberg. The best time for Wine is Fall during the grapes harvest, because then you can taste their "New Wine" - wine that is still in the process of fermentation and tastes really good. Don't forget to buy Strawberries, Cherries, Apples... (seasonal) and the Apple Wine.
