Badischer Weinradweg - Etappe 3: Breisgau

Riegel - Gengenbach

The third stage of the Baden Wine Cycle Path leads for around 53 km through the vineyards of Breisgau to Ortenau.

From Riegel, the wine cycle path leads through the Breisgau wine region to Gengenbach in the Kinzig valley. Past the Lichteneck ruins, the route continues through gentle vineyards, cosy villages and charming towns characterized by town houses, half-timbered buildings and magnificent town halls. Near the baroque town of Ettenheim, it is worth making a detour to the Heubergturm tower, which offers a fantastic panoramic view. Cyclists continue past the castle in Schmieheim, which is home to a brewery, and Lahr, which is particularly vibrant during the Chrysanthema festival in the fall, before the stage ends in the pretty town of Gengenbach.
