An absolute highlight is Waldshut Castle, which sits enthroned on a hill above the Rhine. It was built in the 13th century and today houses a museum with interesting exhibitions on the history of the town. Another must-see for every visitor is the town church of St. Johann, which impresses with its impressive architecture.

The annual "Waldshuter Chilbi", one of the largest folk festivals in southern Germany with traditional parades, music and dancing, also provides cultural highlights.

If you like to indulge in culinary delights, you should definitely try the regional wine or make a detour to nearby Bad Säckingen to enjoy the famous "Baden cuisine".

The region is also ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling along the Rhine or through picturesque vineyards. In winter, you can also go skiing in the nearby mountains of the Black Forest.

There are also plenty of options when the weather is bad: In Waldshut, the indoor swimming pool Aquarado invites you to swim and relax, or you can visit the Kunsthaus Pasquart in Biel/Bienne (Switzerland), which houses an impressive collection of modern art.

Whether in summer or winter, Klettgau and Waldshut are worth a visit at any time of year. The travel guide offers numerous useful tips for an unforgettable experience in this region of Germany - the perfect travel guide for all adventurers and explorers!
