Marked hiking trails, a farmers’ market and historical themes give you several reasons to stay in Gundelfingen. The town also has the Obermattenbad and tram connections. When planning your trip, you can balance outdoor activities, a visit to the market, swimming and local history.
Getting there and the wider region
Gundelfingen is served by VAG Freiburg tram line 4. As services may change, check the latest routes and timetables before travelling.
In the wider Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald destination, many towns in the district can be reached by train. If you have a free KONUS guest card, you can use it for free travel on local trains and buses throughout the Black Forest. For planning purposes, it is helpful to consider local connections and the guest card’s area of validity separately.
Hiking trails and market days
Numerous hiking trails run through Gundelfingen; around 50 kilometres of them are marked by the Black Forest Association. If you prefer marked trails, this figure gives you a concrete point of reference when choosing. The total distance indicates the scale of the local hiking options; choose a specific route when planning your day.
The Gundelfingen farmers’ market has been held regularly since 1990, on Wednesday mornings and Friday afternoons. If the market is one of your reasons for travelling, check the latest dates and times before your visit. This will help you take into account whether either market day suits your choice of travel dates.
Indoor swimming pool and historical themes
The Obermattenbad is an indoor swimming pool. It has a combined pool with four 25-metre lanes, a non-swimmer area and a diving area with a 1-metre springboard and a 3-metre diving tower. Swimming is therefore a distinct activity alongside hiking and culture. For current visitor information, contact the operator.
Zähringen Castle, located within Gundelfingen’s municipal boundaries, is a destination for a day trip and was the ancestral seat of the dukes and city founders of Zähringen. The Gundelfingen Culture Trail offers another way to explore history: it includes the Englerbeck-Huus in its presentation of historic buildings. The castle and the culture trail therefore focus on different aspects: Zähringen history on the one hand, and the interpretation of historic buildings on the other.
