Cycling with an eye on the surface

Around 90 percent of the Kaiserstuhl Cycle Route is paved; about 6 kilometres run along paths covered with fine gravel and crushed stone. Both figures are useful if the surface is an important factor in choosing your route. Since path surfaces can change, check the current conditions before setting out.

Gottenheim S-Bahn station has a train connection that allows bicycles. If you want to include both train travel and cycling in your plans, check the latest rail information for your specific journey.

The Gottemer Rebhisli Tour

The field paths on the Gottemer Rebhisli Tour are car-free and suitable for families with children. Four Rebhisli (small vineyard huts) in the Gottenheim area serve guests Baden-style snacks and local wines. Food and drink are offered as part of the tour; check the current event arrangements before your trip.

The Gottenheim winegrowers’ cooperative and Maurer winery have held the Gottemer Rebhisli Tour annually on Ascension Day, also known as Father’s Day, since 2004. If this date affects your travel plans, check the arrangements for the relevant year.

More options in Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald

The Burgundy Trail is another hiking option in the broader Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald destination. It is 27 kilometres long and extends across the entire Tuniberg area. You can explore it as a complete hike or in individual sections, choosing between the full route and a stage-by-stage visit.

For a different kind of outing, visit Badeparadies Schwarzwald in Titisee, where summer temperatures prevail 365 days a year, alongside real palm trees and turquoise-blue water. The Galaxy water slide universe offers more than 25 attractions and water fun for all ages.
