Kaiserstuhl

The Kaiserstuhl (Emperor’s Chair) is a low mountain range situated west of Freiburg im Breisgau in the middle of the Upper Rhine Plain between Germany and France.

Originally of volcanic history, the Kaiserstuhl nowadays is covered by a thick layer of Loess form the last ice age providing great breeding grounds for the European bee-eater (Bienenfresser), who I sadly did not photograph yet. There is a multitude of wildlife to discover.

Rare butterflies, the praying mantis or the beautiful western green lizard (Smaragdeidechse) and lots more. Besides its many natural reserves and its outstanding biodiversity, the Kaiserstuhl is also famous for its succulent wines. So when you have the chance: hike, discover, drink and savour.

More nature?! More nature!
