Eimeldingen: Kander, cycling routes and local history
Accommodation in Eimeldingen
Eimeldingen lies where the lower reaches of the Kander cut through the Upper Rhine Plain. A small northeastern part of the municipal area extends into the Markgräfler hills; an extensive network of cycling routes leads from Eimeldingen to recreational areas along the Rhine and into the hills with their vineyard slopes. Bus and rail connections serve Basel, Freiburg, Lörrach and Weil am Rhein. The town also has distinctive traces of its history. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Eimeldingen, you can consider whether the landscape and cycling, historical features or connections to the cities mentioned will shape your stay.
Between the Upper Rhine Plain and the Markgräfler hills
Eimeldingen’s landscape is clearly defined: the lower reaches of the Kander cut through the Upper Rhine Plain, while only a small northeastern part of the municipal area extends into the Markgräfler hills. The hills are part of the town’s geographical character, but they do not encompass the entire municipal area.
Cycling routes to recreational areas
An extensive network of cycling routes leads from Eimeldingen to recreational areas along the Rhine and into the Markgräfler hills with their vineyard slopes. This brings two distinct landscapes into focus for planning your outings: the areas along the Rhine and the vineyards in the hills. If you enjoy cycling, you can take these destinations into account when choosing where to stay. When planning with children, you can also consider whether to focus on family bike rides or cultural discoveries; the town’s history offers its own points of interest.
Historical traces in the town
The “Schlössli” is a Vogt’s house dating from 1493 and is considered the oldest house in the village. Another historical feature is the choir of St. Martin’s Church in Eimeldingen: it is late Gothic, has a 5/8 octagonal form and dates from around 1450. These two examples represent different aspects of local history—the village’s oldest house and a church structure from the Late Middle Ages. If you are interested in history and architectural forms, these details add to the picture of Eimeldingen beyond its landscape.
The Peace Linden Tree in Alte Baslerstraße also tells a story of the town’s past. It was planted on March 9, 1924, as the successor to a linden tree that stood there from 1679 to 1922. The precise dates make the succession of the two trees tangible: the present tree was planted after its predecessor’s long time standing there came to an end. Together with the Schlössli and the choir of St. Martin’s, the tree is another distinct historical landmark.
Getting here and choosing where to stay
Eimeldingen has bus and rail connections to Basel, Freiburg, Lörrach and Weil am Rhein. If connections to these cities are important to your stay as well as the town itself, factor them into your choice of holiday apartment. The municipality refers visitors to the Baden-Württemberg electronic timetable information service (EFA-BW). This lets you tailor your choice—whether you want to focus on cycling routes, the landscape and local history or plan trips to the cities mentioned—to your own plans.
