Hasel: Cave, Erdmannsweg and Historic Church

Three themes shape the way Hasel is seen: Erdmann Cave, the Haseler Erdmannsweg trail, and the present-day church with a baptismal font from an earlier church. Together, they bring geological features, local stories, and a historic furnishing into focus. When looking for a hotel in Hasel, you can weigh up whether the cave and trail or the town’s architectural history better match your travel interests.

Cave and Erdmannsweg

The show cave section of Erdmann Cave in Hasel is 360 meters long. The Haseler Erdmannsweg trail is approximately 3.5 kilometers long and offers a playful way to discover geological features of the surrounding area; it also shares local stories. The two lengths refer to different attractions: the shorter figure applies to the show cave section, and the longer one to the trail. Together, they present two distinct thematic focuses rather than describing a single type of excursion.

The Erdmannsweg trail brings geology and local tales together. Erdmann Cave, by contrast, is characterized by the length of its show cave section. If you plan to visit the cave, please check local visitor information for current operating details.

Church and Baptismal Font

The present-day church in Hasel was built in 1779 and renovated in 1985–1987. It preserves an ornate baptismal font from 1627, which came from the earlier church. Two periods of history thus come together: the construction and renovation of the present-day church, and an older object preserved from a previous church. Visitors interested in architectural and cultural history will find a distinctive Hasel attraction here, alongside the cave and Erdmannsweg trail.

A Landscape Feature Near Hasel

Lake Eichen lies on the Eichener Höhe near Hasel. It is an intermittent lake, so its changing appearance is an essential part of what makes it special. The lake is part of the destination’s surrounding area; if you plan your trip specifically to visit it, take its intermittent appearance into account.

Lörrach as a Broader Travel Destination

The broader travel destination of Lörrach offers additional cultural and landscape attractions. Lörrach is located in the Markgräflerland region of southwestern Baden-Württemberg, directly on the Swiss border and close to the neighboring city of Basel. This wider regional context complements the overview of Hasel.

The Dreiländermuseum Lörrach has a permanent exhibition covering around 1,000 square meters. The Lörrach Sculpture Trail runs through the city and features 23 sculptures, fountains, and monuments created by renowned sculptors. The museum and the sculpture trail offer different experiences: an exhibition and artworks in the urban environment.

The Burghof Lörrach’s cultural program includes singing and music, dance, cabaret, literature, and children’s theater. The Burghof Lörrach GmbH also organizes the international STIMMEN Festival every year. The Lörrach weekly market has been held since 1403. If you would like to plan your trip around an event, please check the relevant dates.

The wine trails on Tüllinger Berg also bring together landscape and viticulture. Starting in Lörrach-Tüllingen, the Tüllinger Wine Trail connects the Riehen Wine Trail with the Weil Wine Trail. The connected wine trails pass through around 90 hectares of vineyards, including the vineyards known as “Riehener Schlipfer,” “Tüllinger Sonnenbrunnen,” “Weiler Schlipf,” “Haltinger Stiege,” and “Ötlinger Sonnhole.” The Tüllinger Wine Trail offers views of the Wiese Valley and the Rhine Valley and provides insights into the work of winemakers throughout the year.
