Black Forest, Rhine and Vineyards
The Administrative District of Rastatt is characterised by three interesting types of countryside: Black Forest, Rhine and vineyards. The Northern Black Forest with its mountain ranges, high moorlands as can be found in the area of Kaltenbronn, and idyllic valleys dotted with typical hay barns provides great facilities for hiking fans, mountain bikers and winter sports enthusiasts who enjoy a day out in the fresh air. The region forms part of the Central/Northern Black Forest nature reserve and includes the historic Murg valley. Its charming character makes it a popular destination for hiking, cycling and skiing.
