Discover Zell im Wiesental

Planning a trip to Zell im Wiesental

A stay in Zell im Wiesental can focus on two things: outdoor activity in the Zeller Bergland and the Maria Frieden Chapel as a cultural and landscape feature. If you’re looking for a hotel in Zell im Wiesental, you can use these interests as a starting point for planning your trip.

Nordic walking in the Zeller Bergland

There are numerous Nordic walking trails in the Zeller Bergland. One circular hike leads through the Zeller Bergland in Zell im Wiesental. The Nordic walking loop around the Zeller Blauen is estimated to take three hours and is 11.2 kilometres long. The wide selection of trails highlights the area’s focus on outdoor activities; on the loop around the Zeller Blauen, you can consider the estimated time and distance together as practical planning details. Check current trail conditions locally before setting out.

Maria Frieden Chapel

The Maria Frieden Chapel is in Zell im Wiesental, above Mambach and below Pfaffenberg. These two location references help place it within the local geography. As a cultural and landscape feature, the chapel offers a different focus from the Nordic walking trails and the loop around the Zeller Blauen. When planning your stay, you can therefore consider whether to include this cultural interest alongside outdoor activities in the hills.

Culture and landscape in the wider destination of Lörrach

The wider destination of Lörrach offers other cultural and landscape highlights. Lörrach is in the southwest of Baden-Württemberg, in the Markgräflerland, directly on the Swiss border and close to the neighbouring city of Basel.

The Dreiländermuseum Lörrach has a permanent exhibition covering around 1,000 square metres. The Lörrach Sculpture Trail runs through the city and features 23 sculptures, fountains and monuments created by renowned sculptors. A permanent exhibition and an art trail in the urban landscape thus offer two different cultural experiences.

Burghof Lörrach GmbH organises the international STIMMEN Festival every year. The Burghof’s cultural programme includes singing and music, dance, cabaret, literature and children’s theatre. Lörrach’s weekly market also has a long history: it has been held since 1403 and is located in the centre of Lörrach.

The Tüllinger Wine Trail provides a link to the landscape and wine-growing: starting in Lörrach-Tüllingen, it connects the Riehen Wine Trail with the Weiler Wine Trail. The interconnected wine trails on Tüllinger Berg pass through around 90 hectares of vineyards, including the Riehener Schlipfer, Tüllinger Sonnenbrunnen, Weiler Schlipf, Haltinger Stiege and Ötlinger Sonnhole vineyard sites. The Tüllinger Wine Trail offers views of the Wiesental and Rhine valleys and insights into the work of winegrowers throughout the year. This theme therefore encompasses both views of the two valleys and the seasonal work involved in wine-growing.
