Schliengen: Hochblauen - Schwarzwald - Blick ins Rheintal
Schliengen has served as a wine-growing settlement in the Markgräflerland since the Middle Ages. The municipality stands between the Upper Rhine Plain and the foothills of the Black Forest, not far from Germany’s borders with France and Switzerland. Vineyards remain fundamental to local life, extending around the settlements of Schliengen, Mauchen, Niedereggenen and Obereggenen. On a hill above the area is Bürgeln, a former Benedictine monastery rebuilt in Baroque style during the 18th century. Schliengen represents southern Baden beyond its larger cities: a region of established wine villages, cultivated slopes and the broad Rhine corridor.

Among the communities of Baden-Württemberg, Schliengen stands out for its wine-growing slopes in the Markgräflerland, between the Rhine plain and the Black Forest. Its vineyards are closely associated with Gutedel, a white grape long cultivated in this southwestern corner of Germany. Above the settlement, Schloss Bürgeln occupies a prominent hill; the present Baroque complex stands on the site of a former Benedictine provostry. The cultivated hills and nearby Upper Rhine valley give Schliengen a distinctly southern Baden character.

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.
