Kaiserstuhl area
The nearby Kaiserstuhl is a low mountain range of volcanic origin up to 556 m above sea level in the districts of Emmendingen and Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald.
The climate of the Kaiserstuhl also explains the abundance of warmth-loving flora and fauna. For example, the Kaiserstuhl is one of the places with the greatest variety of orchids in Europe - more than 30 species have been registered. Wild grape hyacinths grow rampant between the vines and irises bloom on the embankments.
There is lively viticulture on the Kaiserstuhl, with the Kaiserstuhl wines now enjoying an excellent international reputation. Wine thrives particularly well because of the loess soil.
Tauberguss, area
The "last jungle of southern Germany" on the southern upper Rhine plain. With a length of 12 km and a width of approx. 2.5 km, the best way to enjoy this spectacle is with a relaxing boat trip. The large nature reserve with its forests, meadows and flood dams serves as a habitat for numerous animal species, some of which are threatened with extinction.

City of Freiburg, Breisgau
About 30 km south is Freiburg, the southernmost city in Germany. Many sights such as the cathedral, the museums or the many theaters make the university town a special travel destination. Freiburg is also very interesting for “strolling” or for a visit to the Mundenhof animal park.
Black Forest area
The unique region in which untouched nature, rural culture and tradition of craftsmanship have been woven into a diverse cultural landscape. Sights such as Titisee-Neustadt, Triberg Waterfalls or the Vogtsbauernhöfe in Gutach are just a few of this wonderful landscape. The "Black Forest" is one of the most beautiful and eventful areas in Germany.

Alsace, France
"So close to the border..." The Alsace region (France), a mixture of German and French culture, offers quaint villages with many half-timbered houses and castles. Enjoy the original Alsatian tarte flambée or take a little tour of the metropolis of Strasbourg. The city of Strasbourg is the seat of numerous European institutions, including the Council of Europe, the European Parliament, the European Court of Human Rights, etc. Strasbourg therefore sees itself as the "Capital of Europe".
The Vosges are also a popular destination for hikers.
