The art trail runs along the Mühlbach stream in the Bürkle-Bleiche district, nestled in a natural setting. The sculptures, made of wood, stone, and metal, alternate, creating a dialogue between art and landscape.

This is where everyone meets: shoppers, people interested in historical events and, of course, those who enjoy an Aperol, a glass of Baden wine or a fresh beer (there are also non-alcoholic drinks...)
