Tips from the Community

Michael (Wasi)
December 10, 2025, Emmendingen City Gate

The Niederemmendingen town gate is the only remaining one of four Baroque gates that were originally built in the early 18th century as part of the town's fortifications. In 1706, it received a distinctive turret, and in 1929 a second gateway was added – to this day, it dominates the entrance to Karl-Friedrich-Straße. Remnants of the old town wall are visible nearby, including at Hebelstraße and Goethepark.

The beer garden is nice, but it's self-service only, with prices that don't justify it.

Nice beer garden. Self-service. The cake was delicious, but a tiny piece.

First-class surface for driving at speed. There is usually little traffic and hardly any pedestrians on the route.
