About Lahr
Set amidst the beautiful natural landscapes of the Rhine Valley and the Black Forest, Lahr grew as an industrial hub in the 19th and 20th Centuries. A series of connected districts, the city boasts a number of lovely heritage landmarks, and is an excellent base for discovering this part of south-western Baden-Württemburg. Our Gurus have chosen to highlight one particular family-owned property as the best place to stay in Lahr; a small hotel, it’s also home to a fantastic Michelin-starred restaurant, showcasing the fusion of French and German influences in the region.
Culture aficionados will delight in following the footprint of the old city walls, and in spotting the iconic Storchenturm — ‘crane tower’ — which was once part of a castle and has become the town’s emblem. Step into the late-Gothic Stiftskirche and admire the ancient St. Peter's church in Burgheim — or take things further with a fascinating guided tour of the city’s churches, which reflect the religious upheaval experienced throughout Germany’s history.
Much of the historic town centre is located on the right bank of the Schutter River. You’ll find idyllic walking and cycling trails, as well as hiking paths heading out of the city and into the wilderness of the Black Forest. Spot birds, try your hand at fishing, or explore on horseback with the whole family. Strasbourg and Colmar, across the French border, are fascinating for a day trip, as are trails along the Rhine and tours and tastings in the acclaimed Baden wine region. You’ll find an impressive selection of regional wines on the menu at our pick of the best places to stay in Lahr, too. All the more reason to book your table in advance!
