The sheer diversity of this stretch of Germany--from Lake Constance to the Black Forest and from the Rhine plateau to the forest of the Odenwald--is showcased in this striking guide, illustrating its full range of activities from hiking to paragliding. Numerous cultural monuments are depicted, demonstrating how they bear witness to a rich and illustrious past. Excavated villas, forts, baths, and temples dating back to the Romans, churches and chapels, and monasteries and ministers are captured as visible signs of a vibrant sense of religion. Exploring the region's castles and ruins lining the banks of the River Necker all the way to Heidelberg, this handbook outlines the royal residences erected by local margraves such as Schloss Favourite and the edifice at Rastatt, the only baroque palace on the Upper Rhein to be preserved in its original state. Capturing the area's history and tradition in its many processions and festivals, this travel companion highlights Baden in all its glorious variety, with additional features on its culinary claims to fame, history of the spas, and famous local poets, philosophers, and inventors.
