AlpacaCamping 2237

A spot near Bühl on the northern edge of the Black Forest, scenically attractive yet not recommended. It's located in a protected landscape area where wild camping is not permitted. Those who do it anyway risk a substantial fine. A previous review reports campers who were sent away in the middle of a thunderstorm on their third evening. The warning: possible police action. The night then ended in a parking lot. Heading towards Karlsruhe, about 39 kilometers away, you'll find the Mahlbergturm and the Rhine wetlands near Linkenheim.1

What AlpacaCamping writes

„The spot is beautiful, but unfortunately it's located in a protected landscape area, so parking there is illegal!

On the third evening, someone came by and told us to leave the spot, threatening police action.“

Sights in the area1

Triberg Waterfalls

Deep in the Black Forest, the Gutach tumbles down several tiers, one of Germany's highest falls. The trip south fills a good day and is the classic outing for grey weather.

Mahlbergturm

A lookout tower in the northern Black Forest with a wide view across the Rhine plain to the Vosges. A rewarding stop on a clear afternoon.

Rhine floodplains near Linkenheim

Floodplain forest and old Rhine channels north of Karlsruhe, with a path out to the Rott island. Flat and shady, good for a bike loop on hot days.
