Unimog Museum, Gaggenau

Highlight • Monument

Anyone who is interested in the history of the Unimog must definitely go in here. It is also highly recommended to drive a Unimog over the adjacent "bumpy slope" with gradients of up to 100%.

Fee-Schlapper Hut at Binsenwasen

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Interesting construction, the "Fee-Schlapper-Hütte" at Binsenwasen. Nicely located on the pass between Merkur and kleinem Staufenberg and something different than the "usual" mountain huts.

A nice restaurant with a terrace where you can sit, have something to drink and/or eat and enjoy the view. The restaurant also offers very tasty fries to go, which we took with us to the summit.

The former margravial property known as Rotenfels Castle is made up of various parts: firstly, there is a margravial ironworks founded in 1729, which was then replaced by a crucible and stoneware factory, which was then converted into today's Rotenfels country castle. In its immediate vicinity is a rock cellar created in 1753, which was built over in 1804 with a count's pleasure house (its remains are now known as the "Witches' Dance Ground"), when there were still no plans for a castle. And finally, there is the former extensive castle park with various architectural relics, which today is partly continued as a spa park, but partly has become overgrown and converted into forest, as well as agricultural and forestry areas that formerly belonged to Rotenfels. The Great Schanzenberg and the Little Schanzenberg with their respective ramparts from the High Middle Ages are also located within this property, although they have no direct historical connection with the castle (and today, despite their proximity to the castle, they belong administratively to the neighboring municipality of Kuppenheim). The current castle itself was largely built by converting the previous crucible and earthenware factory, to which the majority of its building fabric can be traced back, both in the main building and in the two commercial buildings flanking the castle square (former horse stables and coach houses). It was ultimately only used as a stately castle for just under 100 years, and during this time mostly only occasionally, for example as a summer or hunting residence, and after the discovery of the thermal spring after 1839, for a few decades as a private spa for the count's family with its own bathhouse built for this purpose (no longer exists).

The Unimog Museum is highly recommended. Anyone who has children and wants to celebrate their children's birthday party here will not be disappointed. Adults who are interested in cars will also find what they are looking for here.
