View of the Black Forest from Kreuzenbuck

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great view of the vineyard landscape of the Ihringen wine-growing community. The vines here are terraced (laying) or in their original, wild, romantic form. Great places to stop for a break in one of the very good, inexpensive restaurants in Ihringen or in the Lenzenberg excursion restaurant. From up here you have a great view of the Black Forest, the Rhine plain and Freiburg.

Giant Sequoia Forest Liliental

Highlight • Forest

One of the biggest attractions in the Lily Valley is the forest of sequoia trees (Sequoiadendron giganteum).
Sequoia trees are native to California on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, where they can be up to 3,000 years old and reach heights of 100 meters.

The seeds for the lily valley sequoia trees come directly from California.

They were sown in the Stuttgart pheasant garden in 1956. Four years later they were planted out on an area of 1.2 hectares in Liliental and have grown splendidly ever since.

Already in 1992 the trees were on average 22 meters high.

Gasthaus Zur Lilie

Highlight • Restaurant

The restaurant is the perfect starting point to start a circular hike on the Romantic Hollow Path. You can also eat and drink quite well here. However, you should be aware of the not very cheap prices and that there are only small things to eat in the afternoon (sausage salad, sausages, etc.).

Rhine Bridge and Dam at Breisach

Highlight • Bridge

On the Ile du Rhin you can take a little break in the shade of some trees. Alternatively, there is a conveniently located snack bar on the German side of the Europabrücke, which in its name could be operated by Scots, but offers fast (or junk) food rather than haggis and red and white labeled effervescent.
