Ortenau
The Ortenau, nestled between the Black Forest heights and the Rhine valley, is a true highlight for anyone traveling along the "Badische Weinstraße with a convertible." This region in the heart of Baden combines culinary delights, idyllic landscapes, and varied roads – ideal for a pleasurable convertible journey through Southern Germany.
Charming convertible routes through wine country and the Black Forest
The Badische Weinstraße takes you on one of the most beautiful convertible routes in Germany directly through the Ortenau. Winding country roads meander through gentle vineyards, past orchards, castle ruins, and charming half-timbered towns. Particularly between Oberkirch, Gengenbach, and Durbach, there are numerous panoramic viewpoints and opportunities to stop, marvel, and linger.
A detour into the northern Black Forest – for instance via the Schwarzwaldhochstraße – brings additional driving pleasure and opens up stunning views over the Rhine valley all the way to the Vosges. This route is perfect for any convertible road trip seeking the contrast of wine culture and untamed nature.
Region of enjoyment with history and lifestyle
The Ortenau is known for excellent wine, traditional cuisine, and warm hospitality. In places like Gengenbach, famous for its imposing town hall and charming old town alleys, or in Sasbachwalden with its flower-adorned winegrowers' courtyards, you will find the true, original Baden. The region is ideal for winding down the day of a convertible tour with a good glass of Riesling or Pinot Noir.
Cultural highlights such as Staufenberg Castle or the Allerheiligen Monastery are wonderfully embedded in the hilly landscape and can be beautifully combined with a short stop on your convertible tour.
