    Tips

    The Kandel attracts many visitors, both in summer and winter. There is plenty of parking space at the top of the pass. There is also a starting point for hang gliders and paragliders. The hotel at the top of the pass has been closed for a long time. There is a kiosk where you can buy drinks and small snacks. There are also some seating areas from which you can easily watch the planes.

              Great viewing point. In winter the two lifts are in operation here.

                Magnificent view over the Rhine plain, the Kaiserstuhl, the Vosges and of course Waldkirch.

                  The Kandel is a pleasure both at sunrise and sunset. On the one hand, on a clear day, the view can extend as far as the Alps, to the west there is a wonderful panoramic view from the village of Waldkirch, located at the foot of the Kandel, over the Kaiserstuhl to France. Anyone who is up here by gravel or MTB should, starting from the parking lot, definitely also take the detour to the candelabra pyramid.

                    The view makes up for the 900 meters of altitude.
