Description

Situated north of Freiburg at the transition between the Black Forest and the Rhine Plain, Emmendingen combines urban living with a setting close to nature. The historic old town, with its narrow streets, squares, and castle, defines the town's character.

Its proximity to the Kaiserstuhl, the Black Forest, and the Rhine landscape makes Emmendingen an ideal starting point for excursions, cycling tours, and hikes in the region. At the same time, the town offers a vibrant mix of culture, events, and shopping opportunities.
