A stop over in Staufen with Black Forest Cake
Staufen is one of the most picturesque villages in the south of Baden,
situate amid magnificent vineyards. More than 1200 years of history,
Staufen offers peace and undisturbed tranquillity.
One of the most famous citizens of Staufen was Johann Georg Faust, the
legendary alchemist and magician that probably lived in Staufen about 500
years ago.
Today the visitor can read on the wall of the Lions Inn: "... and it is told
that the most powerful of devils, Mephistopheles, the one he called
brother-in-law when he was still alive, broke his neck, after the pact had
expired after 24 years, thus handing over his poor soul to never ending
perdition" (in: The 16th century Chronicles of Zimmer).

A Banquet in Badenweiler at Hotel Römerbad
|
The History of Badenweiler began in Roman times. In 75AD vassals of
the Roman Emperor Vespasian discovered the healing springs, built in the
first baths and named the place Aquae Villae or "water town". The very
well preserved ruins of the Roman Baths are on of the most interesting
sights of the region. Warm Mediterranean air flows through the Belfort
Gap. The Black Forest in the north and east shields the resort from cold
winds and temperature fluctuations. Thanks to its situation at a height of
450m, Badenweiler offers splendid views over the Markgräferland and the
Rhine Plain as far as the French Vosges.
