Discover Heuweiler

When looking for a hotel in Heuweiler, you can consider whether views, church history or hiking is more important for your stay. Views from the church square, St. Remigius and the hiking trails described here each offer a different focus.

Views across the bay, Kaiserstuhl and Vosges Mountains

From the church square in Heuweiler, you can look across the Breisgau Bay to the Kaiserstuhl and the Vosges Mountains. Another notable landscape feature is the Gundelfingen-Wildtal-Heuweiler protected landscape area, which extends into Heuweiler’s municipal area. It protects the typical foothill zone of the Black Forest, with its extensive forests and meadows. As a connected ecological area, it provides important recreational functions for visitors from both the local and wider region. The town’s description thus brings together distant views and a protected landscape.

St. Remigius and its history

The parish church of St. Remigius was rebuilt in 1750 and consecrated by Count Karl von Fugger on 19 August 1765. The large altarpiece also offers a concrete insight into the church’s history: it depicts the baptism of Clovis by Saint Remigius, a bishop. The building’s history and the painting’s subject provide two different ways to explore the town’s historical character.

Hiking trails and their different routes

A well-used and popular footpath leads from Zähringen via Wildtal to Hinterheuweiler. The route description thus identifies a connection between a starting point and a destination. The hike “Heuweiler, a president and the two corners” follows a different route: it starts and ends at the church on the Breisgauer Wine Trail.

From Heuweiler, this hike passes through the vineyards and then climbs uphill through the forest to Wildtaler Eck. The return to Heuweiler follows the Breisgauer Wine Trail. The transition from vineyards to forest and the subsequent climb give the route a clear sequence; starting and ending at the church makes it easier to orient yourself when reading the route description. For your planning, the main difference between the two descriptions is that the footpath names a destination in Hinterheuweiler, while the hike ends where it began.

Regional orientation and getting here
