    This is supposedly the place to which the song "In the most beautiful meadows" refers.

      "In the most beautiful meadowland..." – this popular German folk song was written here in Straubenhardt at a tavern table in the Rössle Conweiler by local poet Wilhelm Ganzhorn. Out of love for the innkeeper's daughter. And out of love for the land, many visitors come every year to the six charming Straubenhardt villages on the Swabian-Baden border at the edge of the Black Forest.
      By the way: The Wilhelm Ganzhorn hiking trail, in honor of the songwriter, is a particularly good place to sing.


      In the most beautiful meadowland
      In the most beautiful meadowland is my home; there I spent many hours wandering into the valley.
      To you, my quiet valley, I greet you a thousand times, there I greet you many hours into the valley.
      If I had to leave the valley, where all is joy and sound, that would be my most bitter suffering, my last journey.


      To you, my quiet valley, I greet you a thousand times! That would be my most bitter suffering, my last journey.
      If I die, I want to be buried in the valley's depths, sing to me at my last hour in the evening light:
      "To you, O quiet valley, greetings for the last time," sing to me at my last hour in the evening light.


      Tip: A visit to the Rössle country inn is worthwhile. Also worth a visit is the Schwanner Warte observation tower: Enjoy the panoramic view over the Rhine plain, the Vosges Mountains, and the Palatinate Forest.
