Maps and trails
The region is known for its picturesque vineyards and breathtaking scenery with numerous hiking and cycling trails. However, Forchheim itself also has a number of tourist attractions to offer.

Cultural highlights include the local history museum and the Gothic church of St. Laurentius from the 15th century. Music lovers can visit the jazz club "Jazztone".

A culinary highlight are the regional wines, which can be tasted at a wine tasting or enjoyed in one of the many Straußwirtschaften.

For outdoor activities, summer and autumn are particularly suitable, when you can hike or cycle through the vineyards. A special experience is a balloon ride over the Kaiserstuhl - here you can marvel at the beauty of this region from a lofty height.

If it rains there are still options such as a visit to the Vita Classica thermal baths in Bad Krozingen or a tour of one of the nearby museums such as the Freiburg Münsterbau Museum.

The most beautiful time of year, however, is undoubtedly during the warm season - then countless flowers and shrubs bloom along the hiking trails and you can enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.

Forchheim am Kaiserstuhl, district of Emmendingen is definitely worth a trip and a perfect destination for anyone who appreciates nature and culture in equal measure. This travel guide gives you an insight into everything Forchheim has to offer - from the breathtaking landscapes to culinary highlights and exciting activities!

    Nette Tour, aber zum Teil über sehr holprige Wege, auch wenn eine besser fahrbare Alternative neben dran ist.

    Sehr schöne Tour abseits großer Straßen, vielen Dank. Obwohl die Überschrift nicht stimmt: nach Rust kommt man nicht.
