Visible from afar, the walled church complex of St. Nicholas towers over Oltingen. St. Nicholas was first documented in 1296, and the current building dates back to the late Gothic period. During renovations in 1956, magnificent frescoes were discovered and beautifully restored. They depict, in particular, stories from the life of the church's patron saint, St. Nicholas of Myra, and the Virgin Mary. The building complex includes the rectory, also Gothic, with an adjoining, smaller ossuary dating from 1517. Adjacent to the north is the rectory barn, built in 1710.

The small village of Kilchberg, located in the lovely Eital valley, has fewer than 200 inhabitants. It boasts a picturesque townscape with old houses and farmsteads, flower-filled fountains, and the dominant neo-Gothic Church of St. Martin. The church was first documented in 1276. Today, however, only the tower, built in 1619, remains; the rest of the church building was demolished and rebuilt in 1867/68.

A magnificent spot. The roaring water is magnificent, and it's considerably cooler around here than outside this area. Here, the Giessen flows from above over the rocks down into the Eibach.
