Geographically, the two towns are located near the Black Forest and on the edge of the High Rhine. The region is known for its picturesque landscapes with rolling hills, dense forests and crystal-clear rivers.

Stühlingen is especially known for its historic old town, which is characterised by half-timbered houses from the 16th century and a medieval castle complex. Another highlight is Bronnenberg Castle, which is now used as a museum.

Waldshut, on the other hand, attracts visitors with its impressive architecture, such as the Gothic Minster or the Renaissance Town Hall. There are also numerous museums to discover here - from the local history museum to the art museum.

Cultural highlights can also be found at the many events throughout the year: The popular Narrentreffen in February attracts visitors from all parts of Germany; In summer, you can listen to music and dance at the "Schluchseewoche" festival; And in autumn, the wine festival invites you to taste local wines.

But this region not only has a lot to offer culturally! There are also some culinary delights to discover - including regional specialities such as onion tart or cherry pie, as well as fresh fruit straight from the farm.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there are also plenty of opportunities here. In summer you can go hiking or cycling, and in winter the nearby Feldberg ski region beckons with perfectly groomed slopes.

Even in rainy weather you don't have to be bored: In Stühlingen, the indoor swimming pool offers a welcome change; in Waldshut, the cinema invites you to a cosy film evening.

Where is it most beautiful? That depends entirely on personal taste. Those who like to be out and about in nature will be thrilled by the area around the Rhine. For lovers of historical architecture, on the other hand, the narrow alleys of Stühlingen's old town are a must.

All in all, Stühlingen and Waldshut are definitely worth a visit - whether as a day trip or for a longer stay. With this travel guide, you now have all the important information and travel tips at hand to explore this region in the best possible way!

    spannender, abenteuerlicher Pfad durch die Wutachflühen. mit ausgeprägter Höhenangst sollte man evtl. die einfachere Alternativroute wählen.

    Schöne Tour vor allem durch die Wutachflühen. Wir haben die Tour in umgekehrter Richtung gemacht, also erst mit der Sauschwänzlebahn bis Lausheim-Blumegg gefahren und dann zurück gewandert. Hat den Vorteil dass man kein Zeitdruck hat, geht aber dafür mehr bergauf.

    Laut unserer Aufzeichung war der Weg tatsächlich länger, nämlich 13,8 km. Allerdings konnten wir den oberen Teil auch gehen und mussten keine Ausweichroute nehmen.. Ich habe den Weg dann nochmals bei Outdoor Active durch die Routen-Planung gejagt: Laut Plan sind es 10,8 km. Hier gibt es also eine Abweichung der berechneten Strecke von der tatsächlich gegangenen. Meine Knochen finden allerdings auch, dass es mehr als 11 km waren! Die Wutachflühen sind sehr empfehlenswert. Man sollte trittsicher sein, gutes Schuhwerk tragen und es sollte trocken sein.

    Wir sind die Tour in die andere Richtung und vom Endhalt Weizen gelaufen. Das waren knapp 15 km und auch mehr Höhenmeter Anstieg. Fies ist der Schlussanstieg im Bereich Buchberg, vor allem da es meist über offene Flächen geht. Im Nachhinein vielleicht doch nicht die optimale Wahl, da es heute sehr heiß war. Aber wir wollten ohne den Druck einer fixen Rückfahrtzeit der Sauschwänzlebahn laufen. Die Tour selber hat uns sehr gefallen, vor allem der hohe Pfadanteil. Landschaftlich am schönsten fanden wir das Stück entlang der Wutachflühen.

    Wir sind mit der SauschwänzleBahn bis nach Weizen gefahren und zurück nach Blumberg gewandert. So konnten wir den Weg ohne auf den Fahrplan zu achten genießen. Wir haben die Alternativroute gewählt, da es am Vortag stark geregnet hat, aber auch dieser Weg ist sehr schön und absolut empfehlenswert
