Wide plains, gently rolling vineyards and the mountains of the Black Forest make nature camping in Markgräflerland a real experience. The sun-kissed region is located in the south-west of Baden-Württemberg at the border triangle of Germany, France and Switzerland, and the best way to get to know the Markgräflerland is by hiking and cycling. However, horse riding, scooter tours and paragliding are also very popular. Various thermal baths guarantee soothing moments. Markgräfler wine and regional specialities, from down-to-earth to star-awarded, stand for pure pleasure holidays.

Special features of camping in Markgräflerland, Germany

The campsites in the Markgräflerland make the hearts of nature lovers beat faster. Whether in a sunny hillside location on the edge of the forest in Kandern, in an idyllically situated camping park in Bad Bellingen or at an old sawmill with a historic Black Forest house in Sulzburg: surrounded by orchards and vineyards, a variety of cycling and hiking trails are right at your feet.

Various free motorhome pitches can also be found in Markgräflerland all year round. For example, there are pitches on a modern herbal adventure farm or at the outdoor pool in Müllheim - camping with a pool, so to speak. Wine lovers will also be tempted by the pitches at one of the region's wine cellars. If you cook in your motorhome, you won't have to look far for the right wine to accompany your dishes.

How to get there

Markgräflerland is located in the Upper Rhine Plain and, surrounded by the mountain ranges of the Southern Black Forest and the Vosges Mountains, is a holiday destination to indulge in all year round. Müllheim, one of the main towns in the Markgräflerland region, is around 300 kilometres from Frankfurt am Main. If you are travelling by caravan or motorhome, we recommend taking the A5 motorway. The motorway runs for almost 442 km from the Hattenbacher Dreieck junction near Bad Hersfeld in Hesse to Weil am Rhein in Baden-Württemberg. There is usually a high volume of traffic at the Frankfurt motorway junction.

If you want to take a break and refuel your car or motorhome, there are various service stations along the way, such as the Serways Baden-Baden service station with restaurants, a coffee bar, a shop open around the clock and a playground for children. On the onward journey, take the Müllheim/Neuenburg exit onto the B378 federal road to Müllheim. Another scenic route is via the B3 federal road, which starts in Övelgönne in Lower Saxony and runs along the border with Switzerland as main road 3 or 7 to Basel.

Destinations in Markgräflerland, Germany

Markgräflerland comprises twelve municipalities. They are picturesque country towns and cosy wine-growing villages that offer plenty to discover in the southern foothills of the Black Forest.

Müllheim - the centrepiece of the Markgräflerland region

In the midst of gently rolling vineyards, the state-recognised resort of Müllheim is considered the wine capital of the Markgräflerland. The idyllic municipality with its traditional wine-growing estates is bursting with rural charm and at the same time enchants visitors with its classicist and historicist buildings.

Built in the 18th century, the Blankenhorn Palace in Müllheim's old town is home to the Markgräfler Museum, which vividly presents the history, art and culture of the region from the Stone Age to the present day. Active holidaymakers are drawn directly from Müllheim to the Breisgau Roman Cycle Path and the circular trail that is so popular with hikers.

Bad Bellingen - sunny spa on the edge of the Black Forest

Some people call Bad Bellingen, situated on the Rhine, a little paradise, which is known above all for its mineral-rich thermal springs. The healing waters are ideal for a drinking cure. With the modern Balinea thermal baths with three swimming pools, sauna park and views of the countryside, it also stands for complete relaxation.

Adjacent to the thermal baths is Bad Bellingen's spa park, which resembles a colourful sea of flowers in spring and summer and also offers an adventure mini-golf course, a barefoot path and a high ropes course. A visit to the Upper Rhine Spa and Local History Museum is also worthwhile.

Activities and excursions

Active and eventful days are guaranteed when camping in the Markgräflerland. Park walks and hikes are just as appealing as voyages of discovery to castles and museums.

Out and about on foot

The Wiiwegli, the little wine trail that runs between Grenzach-Wyhlen and Freiburg, covers around 90 kilometres and allows you to experience the nature of the Markgräflerland intensively along fragrant mixed forests, vineyards and orchards. With a view of the Römerberg, the Park of the Senses in Badenweiler with its 21 stations for listening, touching, smelling and balancing also awakens the spirit of discovery in children. After a hiking tour, freely accessible loungers along the way provide relaxation in the midst of greenery.

To castles, palaces and Roman remains

Those who are not afraid of the steep climb up to Baden Castle above Badenweiler, which dates back to the 11th century, will discover the remains of numerous rooms as well as a restored keep with breathtaking views over the Rhine plain and the Black Forest. Another architectural treasure of the Markgräflerland is Bürgeln Castle in Schliengen with its playful rococo décor. The Roman Museum Villa urbana in Heitersheim and the impressive Roman bath ruins in Badenweiler bear witness to the fact that the ancient Romans literally pitched their tents in what is now the Markgräflerland.

Gastronomy

The Markgräflerland is an important wine-growing region. Chasselas in particular, this delicate white wine with a light fruity note and fine almond flavour, is considered a quaffable speciality of the region and tastes even better in one of the typical Markgräfler Straußenwirtschaften. However, various Burgundy varieties are also served in high quality and go well with regional dishes such as Black Forest trout Müllerin style or a saddle of venison from local hunting.

From farmhouse cooking to haute cuisine, everything is represented in Markgräflerland. A traditional dish is "Schäufele im Brotteig", a smoked shoulder of pork, which is often served with Baden potato salad and lamb's lettuce in the cosy country inns. Offal, such as sour liver with crispy fried potatoes, also known as Brägele, or tripe in white wine are also popular.

Best time to visit

The world-famous Russian writer Anton Chekhov once wrote enthusiastically about the Markgräflerland in a letter to his sister from Badenweiler: "If you only knew what kind of sun there is here! It doesn't burn, it caresses! In fact, the region in the far south-west of Baden-Württemberg is one of the warmest and sunniest in the whole of Germany.

Warm air flows through the Burgundian Gate, a flat mountain pass between the Vosges and Jura mountains, from the Mediterranean to the Markgräflerland. In the summer months from June to August, average maximum temperatures of 25° Celsius are measured. The mild, almost Mediterranean climate is not only ideal for growing wine, fruit and asparagus. It provides plenty of feel-good weather and makes camping in the Markgräflerland a real pleasure from March to the end of October.
