August 21, 2026, Darmstädter Hütte

The Darmstädter Hütte is idyllically situated at around 1,030 meters above sea level in the Wilder See nature reserve and directly on the Westweg trail. It is ideal as a resting place or stage destination, as there are also overnight accommodation options. In addition to delicious food and drinks, the fine blueberry cake is particularly tempting. Numerous outdoor seating areas invite you to linger. The hut is also open in winter and is a popular destination for ski tours.

Viticulture in the Ortenau region is closely intertwined with the history of Staufenberg Castle – as is that of the noble family Margrave of Baden. The castle was built in the 11th century by the famous ducal family of the Zähringers, the ancestors of the current Margraves of Baden – thus it boasts a proud age of almost 1000 years. The name of the castle is derived from "Stauf", which in Old High German denotes a "cone-shaped mountain". A fitting description of the Staufenberg, which is over 380 m high. The earliest evidence of viticulture dates back to 1366. In 1693, Ludwig Wilhelm Margrave of Baden, the "Türkenlouis" and also godchild of the Sun King, was able to reacquire the castle. In 1832, it was then expanded according to the taste of the time into a 'romantic' castle, and visitors can still experience this "romance" today.
