Häusern: Wildlife Trail, Red Deer Days and Local History
Accommodation in Häusern
Häusern brings together nature and culture themes that can be explored in different ways: the Wildlife Trail focuses on native wildlife, the Red Deer Days bring several types of events together, and St. Fridolin’s Catholic Church tells the story of a major renovation. This gives you a specific question to consider when planning your holiday: Which of these themes would you like to focus on?

Discover wildlife along a circular trail
The Häusern Wildlife Trail starts at Wittlisberger Chapel in Häusern, right by the Rotrütte forest playground. The route is a 2.2-kilometre circular trail and is suitable for pushchairs. Ten lovingly designed information boards teach children about native wildlife and offer tips on wildlife-friendly behaviour in the forest.
The trail thus combines a clearly defined route with a nature theme that goes beyond simply observing wildlife: the information boards share knowledge and offer suggestions for treating wildlife considerately in the forest. The length of the loop and its suitability for pushchairs are useful points of reference when planning a walk together. For families interested in native animals, it also offers a learning experience.
Red Deer Days with a varied programme
The Red Deer Days take place in Häusern every two years. The programme includes wildlife watching and excursions, as well as talks, a nature park market and a deer-calling competition. The event therefore combines observations in nature with opportunities to learn and other activities. It offers a different way to explore the topic of wildlife than the information boards along the circular trail.
If you would like to include the Red Deer Days in your travel plans, check the upcoming dates before arranging your travel days around them. This will help you decide whether the programme should shape your stay or whether you would prefer to plan around your other interests in Häusern.
Insights into local history
St. Fridolin’s Catholic Church also provides a specific point of interest: a major renovation in 1975/1977 gave it its present appearance. This context is important to understanding the church: its present-day appearance is associated with this renovation. The building’s history therefore adds a distinct cultural dimension to the nature themes.
Which themes should shape your stay?
When looking for a holiday apartment in Häusern, you can start by considering which focus best suits your trip. The Wildlife Trail combines a circular route with information presented in a child-friendly way; the Red Deer Days offer a programme held every two years with several different formats; and the church adds a connection to more recent architectural history. These differences can help you decide which holiday themes you want to explore. If the Red Deer Days are important to you, plan around their upcoming dates. If, on the other hand, you are mainly interested in learning about nature or local history, these interests can guide your choice of destination.
A different perspective on Waldshut
In Waldshut, Kaiserstraße changed when it became a pedestrian zone in 1989: the town stream was moved back to the middle of the street and three fountains were rebuilt. This sequence makes the transformation of the street easier to understand and adds a distinctly different local perspective to the themes in Häusern.
