Eimeldingen lies where the lower Kander cuts through the Upper Rhine Plain. At the same time, a small northeastern part of the municipal area extends into the Markgräfler hills. These landscape features shape how visitors find their way around the town and are also reflected in the cycling routes described here.

The Kander, the plain and cycling routes

An extensive cycling network leads from Eimeldingen to recreational areas along the Rhine and into the Markgräfler hills, with their vineyard slopes. If you are planning to cycle, you can consider the Rhine and the vineyard slopes as two distinct landscape highlights. Only a small northeastern part of the municipal area itself extends into the hills; the cycling network also leads beyond it into the landscapes mentioned above.

Connections and planning your stay

Eimeldingen has bus and train connections to Basel, Freiburg, Lörrach and Weil am Rhein. For current timetables to or from Eimeldingen, the municipality refers visitors to the Baden-Württemberg electronic timetable information service (EFA-BW). Check your specific connection there before travelling. This lets you plan your journey using the connections listed without assuming that timetables are permanently fixed.

If you are considering Eimeldingen as a place to stay overnight, the connections to the four cities mentioned and the cycling routes offer two different points to consider when planning. Public transport provides connections to these places, while the cycling network draws attention to the landscapes along the Rhine and in the Markgräfler hills. Which focus best suits your stay depends on whether you would rather include the destinations mentioned or the cycling routes in your plans.

Church choir, Schlössli and places of remembrance

The choir of St. Martin’s Church in Eimeldingen is Late Gothic and has a 5/8 octagonal shape dating from around 1450. Its architectural style, shape and approximate date place the church choir in a specific architectural context. This offers a different point of reference for the history of the town than the “Schlössli”: it was a bailiff’s house dating from 1493 and is the oldest house in the village.

The lime trees and the war memorial also have clearly defined historical associations. The Peace Lime Tree on Alte Baslerstraße was planted on 9 March 1924 to replace a lime tree that had stood there from 1679 to 1922. The war memorial is associated with the Peace Lime Tree of 1871; both are located directly above the Kander. These dates place the commemorative landmarks in chronological context and distinguish them from the architectural history of the church choir and the Schlössli.
