Hasel brings geological themes, local history and a distinctive landscape feature near the town together. The show section of Erdmann’s Cave is 360 metres long, and the Hasel Erdmann Trail leads to geological features and local stories along a route of around 3.5 kilometres. There is also the present-day church, which houses a baptismal font from the former church. These themes offer different starting points for planning your trip, without requiring you to treat them as a single activity.
Erdmann’s Cave and the Hasel Erdmann Trail
For Erdmann’s Cave, the stated 360 metres refers to its show section. For current visitor information, please check the local visitor information. The Hasel Erdmann Trail offers a different way to get to know the surrounding area: the route, around 3.5 kilometres long, takes a playful approach to the area’s geological features and shares local stories. The two figures therefore describe different things—the length of the show section and the approximate length of the trail. If you are interested in geology and local stories, the Erdmann Trail brings both themes together in one route; the cave offers a distinct experience with its show section.
Church history in Hasel
The present-day church in Hasel was built in 1779 and renovated between 1985 and 1987. It preserves an ornately crafted baptismal font from the former church, dating from 1627. These details refer to different periods in the town’s history: the baptismal font belongs to the former church, while the present-day church was built much later and subsequently renovated. For travellers interested in architectural and local history as well as geological themes, this preserved artefact adds a tangible historical reference to the natural attractions.
Lake Eichener See near Hasel
Lake Eichener See lies on the Eichener Höhe near Hasel, not in the town itself. It is a temporary lake. This landscape feature differs from the church and its permanently preserved historical details: the lake is notable precisely because it appears only temporarily. So when exploring the area around Hasel, it is worth considering Lake Eichener See as a separate nearby attraction—not as a sight in the town centre.
More to discover in the wider Lörrach destination
The wider Lörrach destination also offers its own cultural and landscape attractions. Lörrach lies in the Markgräflerland region in southwestern Baden-Württemberg, directly on the Swiss border and very close to the neighbouring city of Basel. The Dreiländermuseum Lörrach presents a permanent exhibition across around 1,000 square metres. The Lörrach Sculpture Trail runs through the city and features 23 sculptures, fountains and monuments created by renowned sculptors. The cultural programme at Burghof Lörrach includes singing and music, dance, cabaret, literature and children’s theatre. Burghof Lörrach GmbH also organises the international STIMMEN Festival each year; if you are planning a visit, it is best to check the specific event dates. The Lörrach weekly market has been running since 1403.
Viticulture on Tüllinger Berg offers another distinct perspective. Starting in Lörrach-Tüllingen, the Tüllinger Wine Trail connects the Riehener Wine Trail with the Weiler Wine Trail. Together, the connected wine trails pass through around 90 hectares of vineyards in the “Riehener Schlipfer”, “Tüllinger Sonnenbrunnen”, “Weiler Schlipf”, “Haltinger Stiege” and “Ötlinger Sonnhole” vineyard areas. The Tüllinger Wine Trail offers views of the Wiesental and Rhine valleys and insights into the work of winegrowers throughout the year. In the wider Lörrach destination, urban cultural attractions thus sit alongside wine trails and opportunities to discover local viticulture.
