Fantastic view to France. My tip: Buy one of the local winegrowers in Ballrechten-Dottingen a good bottle of wine and eat here with a good Vesper, preferably in the sunset.

Castellberg Forest Hut

A small romantic forest cabin with shady place to stay and a barbecue. From there a fantastically beautiful panorama, in the direction of Hochblauen, Sulzburg and also Kreuzweg, and even the Kälbererscheuer one sees also ...

The Castellberg is not only worthwhile for biking, but also for hiking and walking ... and for having a snack 😁

July 4, 2025,Castellbergpfad - Markgräflerland
Before heading off to Neuenburg am Rhein for the endurance ride tomorrow, I used the time today to explore the Markgräflerland a bit

Hike around the Castell🍇berg from Ballrechte Dottingen. The idyllic wine-growing village especially from Castellberg with fantastic views of the Rhine Valley and the Vosges was voted one of the most beautiful villages in Baden-Württemberg in 1992 and 2003. The 440 m high Castellberg is the symbol of the community 🤗 Remains of a Celtic castle complex can still be seen …

After we "moved into" our pitch at the Sulzbachtal campsite, we went for a short walk to the vineyard opposite. Lt. Description of the path 2.5 km - the flip flops are no problem. Well, then another 2 km were added - not so wild either.
