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.

A very well-maintained monastery in paradise, or is this the paradise everyone always talks about?

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 Wutach Valley Railway is a 61.7-kilometer-long, standard-gauge, single-track railway line. It connects Lauchringen station, on the High Rhine Railway, with the Hintschingen junction near Immendingen, where it joins the Black Forest Railway. The winding route of the middle section, and especially the reversing tunnel in the Stockhalde, gave it its nickname, the Sauschwänzle Railway. The line was built for strategic military reasons and opened in 1890. Because the standard railway line partially runs through Switzerland, the plan was to bypass it. Because the geography of the Wutach Valley in the middle section, from Weizen to Blumberg, resulted in an elevation difference of over 230 meters, the line had to be artificially extended. At just 9.6 km as the crow flies, the railway line is 25 kilometers long. This artificial extension was achieved with several bridges, a circular reversing tunnel, and a double loop. The circular tunnel is the only structure of its kind in Germany. With a gradient of only 10 ‰, heavy (military) trains could be transported without additional traction. Since this artificial extension of the line also increased ticket prices and travel times, passenger traffic was insignificant and was discontinued on the central section in 1967. Today, the central section is used for heritage traffic, usually with steam locomotives.
