Hiking experience

You can discover the Kaiserstuhl-Tuniberg region on foot by taking the well-signposted theme axes and educational trails. Nine theme axes tap the Kaiserstuhl from south to north and from west to east. All trails show the hikers green lizards, wild orchids, narrow passes, rare birds and many further natural treasures being completely unique in Germany. The Burgunderpfad (trail relating to Burgundy wine) goes right across the nature of the Tuniberg. The different trails being completed by local theme and educational circular trails in some municipalities always have a motto. It is already at the entrance of every trail that the hiker finds information about the route and the particularities of the chosen trail on large boards. An extensive and standardized signposted system of trekking trails has been developed in the whole Kaiserstuhl offering plenty of possibilities.

Here you can find our most popular tours.

Guided trekking tours with our expert guides having passed an extra training for the Kaiserstuhl region, are an unforgettable experience, because they show and explain not only the landscape, nature and viticulture, but the regional way of living, too. For more information about these expert guides, kindly look at: www.kaiserstuehler-gaesteführer.de. On the route there are numerous restaurants and overnight accomodations (e. g. Kaiserstühler Weinhotels (local wine hotels) or  Kaiserstühler Winzerhöfen (winegrowing estates).

Especially enchanting is the famous Liliental, an arboretum and forestry research center, with its meandering footpaths surrounded by numerous exotic trees from all over the world. Rare animals such as the praying mantis, the emerald lizards and the local bird called the “bee-eater” can also be discovered here. Lava rock, loess and volcanic stones cause botanical species to flourish which are more typical of the Mediterranean region, such as wild cacti and aromatic herbs.
