Maps and trails

Reute is known for its idyllic location and its historic buildings from the 18th century. The town also has many cultural highlights to offer, including the "Alte Mühle" museum, which provides insights into the history of the region.

Tourists should definitely visit the town park, where they can go for walks or picnics. For hiking enthusiasts, a trip to the Kandelberg is recommended, whose summit is at an altitude of 1,240 metres and offers spectacular views of the surrounding area.

In summer, the nearby quarry pond with crystal-clear water and sandy beaches beckons visitors to swim and sunbathe. Water sports such as stand-up paddling are also possible here.

For those who like to sample culinary delights, traditional Baden cuisine is a must or stop at a winery to taste local wines.

There are also plenty of activities for rainy days: Visitors can, for example, visit the Freiburg Planetarium or drive to neighbouring Freiburg for shopping or museum visits.

Whether in spring when everything is in bloom or in winter when snow covers the landscape, Reute is worth a visit at any time of year. Experience the charm of this region and let yourself be enchanted by its beauty.

Wir haben diese Tour heute gemacht und sie war wunderschön. Wir haben uns nur die Fahrt rein nach Freiburg gespart, weil wir nicht in der Stadt fahren wollten.
