Description

Oppenau with its districts is located at the western edge of the Black Forest between Baden's Wine Road and the Black Forest High Road. Spectacles of nature such as the Allerheiligen Wasserfälle (All Saints' Waterfalls) were formed as a result of the large differences in height between the Black Forest and the Rhine valley, and diverse opportunities for sports activities present themselves. The Roßbühl mountain near the Black Forest High Road is a launching site for paragliders.
