The renovated Kelter (wine press house) dates from the 15th century. In addition to archaeological finds and testimonies of local history, the permanent exhibition displays objects that illustrate traditional living conditions in the countryside. A living room and bedroom provide insight into the peasant household. Alongside old crafts, including the typical local production of jewelry and watches, the museum's focus is on viticulture.

Yesterday, in the middle of the wild garlic bloom, I was looking forward to the trail again. But unfortunately, it largely fell victim to forestry work. Hope it recovers by next year.

Along the Stupfericher Grenzweg there are many spots with beautiful views over the fields and Stupferich and the Nordschwarzwald in the background. And almost as many benches 😉

Wonderful views over Durlach, Karlsruhe and the Rhine plain. The vineyard path is well worth a detour.

The 114.70 m high telecommunications tower was erected in 1968 in what is now the Karlsruhe district of Grünwettersbach. Besides private microwave links, the transmitter is also used to broadcast FM and DAB signals for the city of Karlsruhe and the surrounding area.

Durlach's only remaining city gate tower is still considered one of the landmarks of the former residence of the Margraves of Baden-Durlach. Likely built in the 14th century, the tower once secured the southern entrance to the city and, like the three other former gates, was integrated into the city wall. In front of the gate was the outer bailey, the outer bailey wall, and the city moat with a drawbridge. A section of this wall and moat system has been preserved at the Basel Gate. The building with red shutters in front of the tower is the guardhouse, renovated in 1751, where the gatekeeper originally collected customs and tolls for goods imported into the city. The two sandstone pillars, crowned with spheres, mark the site of the former outer gate. On August 16, 1689, Durlach was almost completely burned down by French troops as a consequence of the War of the Palatine Succession. The Basel Gate also lost its roof in the fire. At the behest of the Margrave, it was rebuilt as a prison tower with the still-existing, solid vaults, the massive oak cell doors, and the external stair tower. The reconstruction, including the new roof truss in the form of a Welsche Haube (a type of onion dome), was finally completed in 1761.
