Wonderful spa park of Bad Bellingen with a barefoot path, a mini-golf course, an insect path, and a recently renovated pond area with fountains. Absolutely worth seeing.

It could be a circular hike, but the path is very overgrown on the western side... Beautiful bays everywhere, despite the swimming ban 🐾

This spa park is impressive due to its old trees and the beautifully landscaped pond with water fountains. The barefoot path is a must-walk.

Among other things, NABU Lörrach builds toad ponds, such as this one near Eimeldingen, in the area of Schachen. It's all about the natterjack toad, Bufo calamita. Their population has declined sharply, and the Conservation Union has created several such ponds in the area.
