Set in a beautiful part of Baden-Württemburg’s Black Forest region, Badenweiler has been a popular spa town since the Roman era. Boasting two thousand years of history, this idyllic destination now invites modern-day visitors to sink into healing thermal baths, explore a gorgeous part of rural south-west Germany, and savour superb regional food and wine. You need look no further than the best places to stay in Badenweiler: both have fantastic restaurants.

The Baden wine region’s oldest white wine variety, Gutedel — also known as 'Chasselas' — is produced around Badenweiler, and no trip is complete without tasting a glass or two. Vineyard tours come highly recommended, as do the frequent wine festivals! Baden’s warm sunshine benefits its wonderful wines — and is brilliant for keen ramblers, cyclists and horse riders. Follow scenic trails through the Nordic Walking Park Markgräflerland, play a round of golf at some of the 12 courses which lie within an hour’s drive of Badenweiler, or go e-biking with the whole family.

Back in town, the real draw are the acclaimed Cassiopée thermal baths. Immerse yourself in the rejuvenating waters and hot saunas, enjoy revitalising massages or cleansing scrubs, and admire Roman ruins on the expansive 3,800 m² site. Round off fun-filled days with cosy evenings by the fire, local Pinot Noir or Gutedel in hand, at your choice of the best places to stay in Badenweiler.
