Achern: Tourist-Info Achern - Rathausplatz
Achern straddles the transition between the Black Forest foothills and the Upper Rhine Plain in Baden-Württemberg, a setting that links its compact centre with the vineyards and wooded uplands of Ortenau. The Acher runs through the town, while Rathausplatz forms its civic heart, with municipal buildings, pedestrian space and the Tourist-Info. Baden wine culture is central to the local character: Ortenau is one of Germany’s recognised wine-growing areas, and vineyards occupy nearby slopes. Achern also lies on the Rhine Valley Railway route between Karlsruhe and Basel, connecting this small town with major cities on the Upper Rhine.

Achern lies along the Acher River, where the vineyards of the Ortenau rise from the Upper Rhine Plain towards the northern Black Forest. In Baden-Württemberg’s Ortenau district, it is a practical base for exploring a region shaped by winegrowing, orchards and forested slopes. Illenau, a former 19th-century psychiatric hospital complex on the edge of town, is among Achern’s most distinctive heritage sites and now accommodates cultural and civic uses. The Black Forest High Road and the Rhine lowlands are both within the wider surrounding region.

Baden-Württemberg is best known within Germany for the Black Forest, the wooded upland region that shapes much of the state’s southwest. Its terrain also reaches from the Upper Rhine plain and its wine-growing areas to the limestone ridges of the Swabian Jura, while Lake Constance marks part of the southern frontier. Stuttgart, the state capital, is closely tied to the automobile industry and hosts the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum. Heidelberg’s old town and castle add another important strand to the region’s identity, alongside renowned universities, spas and regional cooking.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
