In winter, you can often see a sea of fog here, stretching over the Klettgau.

Schleitheim's town center captivates with its rural charm and well-maintained historic buildings. Along the main street, you'll find small shops, bakeries, and inns. The village is nestled in the Klettgau and serves as an important starting point for hikes on the Randen and through the charming border region.

The Black Stone marks the northernmost point of Switzerland. This unassuming border marker has a turbulent history: Convicted prisoners were once taken across the border into Baden from here. Today, the spot is a scenic rest area with a barbecue and information panel.

The beer garden at the Beringer Randenhaus is idyllically situated in the forest, right next to the Randen Tower. Nestled among tall trees, you'll find a shady, peaceful spot for a relaxing break during or after your hike.
