Kleinwallstadt 3D Archery Course

The Kleinwallstadt archery course “Am alten Schloss” was opened in May 2024 in Kleinwallstadt, Lower Franconia, i.e. in the northwestern part of the 3D archery region. The course is run by Holger Krauß, a long-time archer and member of the Elsenfeld shooting club.

The course has 30 stations with currently over 100 3D animals. In addition to the regular 30 kills, there is an additional “rat stake” at every odd station number, from which a tricky shot at a rat is the task. There are a total of 15 of these additional launches, so the course includes a total of 45 firing positions.

The course site is located on the outskirts of Kleinwallstadt in an idyllic mixed forest covering an area of approximately 13 hectares. The approximately 3 km long circular route leads along natural paths along interesting small gorges and also through the area of the ruins of Waleberg Castle (popularly known as the “old castle”), a medieval castle complex from the late 13th century, which unfortunately is not part of it there’s a lot left.

Aufgrund der in Teilen unbefestigten Pfade und eines zu überwindenden Höhenunterschieds von ca. 80 Metern ist ein festes Schuhwerk und auch eine durchschnittliche Kondition bei der Begehung des Parcours empfehlenswert. Benches have been set up for breaks along the circular route. After station 16 you can walk back to the start on a land consolidation path and interrupt the tour, for example for a longer break.

Registration and use of the course

Registration for the course takes place on site at the registration trailer. All essential information about the course can be found there. Payment and registration are based on trust and the usage money must be deposited into the “cash register” before entering the course.

In order to use the Kleinwallstadt archery course, you must generally have your own archery equipment, as there is no rental on site. However, bows and archery equipment can be rented from the operator by prior arrangement. More about this below under “Bow Rental”.

The course has 30 stations with over 100 3D animals. At the stations with odd numbers there is a so-called “rat peg” in addition to the regular shooting pegs. In total there are 45 kills on the course.

It takes around 2-4 hours to complete a round of the course. The circular route is approximately 3 km long.

The course runs in a fairly hilly mixed forest with some deeper ditches that have to be overcome. An average level of fitness and sturdy shoes are therefore advantageous.

There are around 80 meters of altitude to overcome across several stations throughout the entire course.
