Bad Sackingen

Bad Säckingen sits on the north bank of the Rhine in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, where the river forms the border with Switzerland. Its landmark Holzbrücke, a covered wooden bridge, crosses to Stein in the canton of Aargau and directly connects the historic town with the opposite bank. The baroque Fridolinsmünster, dedicated to the town’s patron saint, rises above the old centre. Bad Säckingen is also closely associated with Der Trompeter von Säckingen, Victor von Scheffel’s 1854 verse epic, whose romantic story made the town known throughout the German-speaking world.
