Oppenau

The Rench River defines the setting of Oppenau — its narrow Black Forest valley has concentrated settlement and transport routes between heavily wooded slopes. The town lies in Baden-Württemberg’s Ortenau district, on the rail line that follows the Rench valley from the Rhine plain into the mountains. Above Oppenau, the ruins of Allerheiligen Abbey recall a Premonstratensian monastery founded in the 12th century, while the nearby Allerheiligen Waterfalls draw walkers into a steep forested ravine. Higher up, the northern Black Forest opens into a landscape of ridges, clearings and long-distance hiking routes.
