The Adlerhorstsattel is a prominent elevation in the Kaiserstuhl, a low mountain range in south-west Germany. With a height of about 270 meters, it is not the highest peak in the range, but still offers an impressive view of the surrounding landscape.

The name of the Adlerhorstsattel goes back to the former settlement of imperial eagles, who once built their nests here. Today, the majestic birds may no longer be found, but the name still evokes their past presence in the region.

The Adlerhorstsattel is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. Numerous well-marked hiking trails lead over the saddle and offer spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. In the spring and summer, a variety of wildflowers bloom here and there are numerous opportunities for bird and wildlife viewing.

Some hiking trails also lead to the nearby vineyards and wine villages, making the Kaiserstuhl one of the most famous wine regions in Germany. Here visitors can taste a variety of wines and regional specialties and be enchanted by the beauty of the landscape.

The Adlerhorstsattel is also a popular place for paragliding and hang-gliding, as there are often good thermal conditions here. This allows adventure seekers to enjoy the breathtaking landscape from a bird's eye view.
