Discover Vogtsburg im Kaiserstuhl

In Vogtsburg im Kaiserstuhl, there is plenty to explore during a stay, from nature and the history of winegrowing to art and urban culture. If you are looking for a hotel, choosing a focus for your stay can make it easier to decide where to go: Would you like to learn about botanical highlights, discover winegrowing in the Kaiserstuhl, or explore historic art? The attractions also vary in scale, from a 3.6-kilometre themed trail to a significant carved altar.

Nature Trails and the History of Winegrowing

The Büchsenberg nature reserve near Achkarren has a forest and nature trail. Botanical highlights there include dittany and downy oak. Hiking trails also lead to the viewpoints of the Vogtsburg vineyards. This gives visitors a choice of different focuses for their stay: learning about the natural environment at Büchsenberg or taking trails with viewpoints.

The Achkarrer Schlossberg Trail is 3.6 kilometres long and runs through the “Schlossberg” vineyard. Together with the Kaiserstuhl Wine Museum in the centre of Achkarren, the trail provides insights into the soil, climate, grape varieties and history of winegrowing in the Kaiserstuhl. The two attractions explore the subject in different ways: the trail runs through the vineyard, while the museum is in the town centre. If you would like to include the history of winegrowing in your stay, you can explore a specific trail alongside these subjects.

Church Art and the History of Burkheim

The Marienaltar (Altar of the Virgin Mary) by Master HL is in the Catholic fortified church of St. Michael in Niederrotweil. Created between 1516 and 1520, it is a major work of German woodcarving. The Baden Way of St. James passes the church, where pilgrims can receive a pilgrim stamp. St. Michael thus brings together two cultural points of interest: the significant altar and the pilgrimage route.

Burkheim’s historic, listed Mittelstädtle district includes civic and half-timbered houses, the town hall and the town gate. On a walk through its lanes, the Burkheim night watchman sings a night watchman’s song in the Alemannic language. The historic townscape and the song heard during the walk offer different highlights: the buildings of the Mittelstädtle on the one hand, and Alemannic as part of the night watchman’s song on the other.
