Gottenheim: St. Stephen’s, cycling route and Rebhisli Tour

Gottenheim combines a distinctive townscape with cycling and the Gottemer Rebhisli Tour. The church of St. Stephen, visible from afar, the Kaiserstuhl Cycle Route and the food and drink on offer during the Rebhisli Tour provide different points of interest.

St. Stephen’s as a landmark

The church of St. Stephen is Gottenheim’s landmark, clearly visible from afar. It provides a striking visual focal point in the townscape. Cycling and the Rebhisli Tour offer different highlights: they focus on an activity and on food and drink, rather than on the townscape alone.

Cycling on asphalt and gravel

The Kaiserstuhl Cycle Route is a specific cycling option in Gottenheim. Around 90 percent of the route is paved; about six kilometers run along paths with fine gravel and coarse gravel. The mix of surfaces is a practical consideration when planning your rides, if you want to weigh up how much paved and unpaved terrain suits you.

Gottenheim S-Bahn station has a train connection that allows bicycles to be carried. If you would like to combine rail and cycling for your journey, also check the latest train information for your specific trip.

The Rebhisli Tour with snacks and wine

The farm tracks on the Gottemer Rebhisli Tour are car-free and suitable for families with children. These features can help you choose a suitable tour for your group. As part of the tour, four Rebhisli in the Gottenheim district serve guests Baden-style snacks and local wines.

The Gottenheim winegrowers’ cooperative and the Maurer Winery have organized the Gottemer Rebhisli Tour since 2004 on Ascension Day, also known as Father’s Day. The organizers describe it as a recurring tradition.

You can therefore choose between the full route and individual sections of the trail.
