Müllheim in the Markgräflerland

Wine and nature with a character of their own

Wine tastings are offered in Müllheim’s wine-growing areas, right in the vineyards and in the associated vineyard hut. Guests taste the wines alongside Müllheim’s winemakers where they grow and thrive. This makes wine not just a pleasure, but also a focus of your stay: you can experience the tasting among the vines and discover the wines together with the people who make them.

The nature reserve on Innerberg, in the Müllheim district, offers a different perspective on the landscape. Its focus is on preserving the thermophilous downy oak forest. “Thermophilous” refers to heat-loving conditions and, together with the downy oak forest, describes the specific focus of conservation. Anyone interested in nature and different habitats will find a clearly defined reason to experience Müllheim beyond its vineyards.

Discover the town’s history for yourself

The digital tour of Jewish history takes you to Stolpersteine, which are spread throughout the town. It starts in the town centre and can be completed on foot or by bicycle using a smartphone or tablet. Short texts and audio files tell the stories of the families who lived here. The focus is therefore not on a general town tour, but on remembering individual families and their stories.

The tour is also suitable for groups and school classes. The Markgräfler Museum Müllheim also offers bookable guided tours and museum experiences for groups at its Blankenhorn-Palais and Frick-Mühle locations. These groups include school classes, kindergarten groups, private groups, clubs and businesses. For families who would like to explore cultural topics together, these specifically mentioned group offerings provide a concrete starting point; the digital tour, meanwhile, can be experienced on foot or by bike.

Routes for different kinds of holiday days

Müllheim and its surroundings offer selected routes for hiking, running and Nordic walking. These include walks through the vineyards as well as multi-day tours. The range therefore extends from a walk centred on the wine-growing landscape to planning a longer tour. The right option depends on whether you want to include individual routes in your stay or devote several days to hiking.

The cycling tours also cater to different interests: the options include family tours, challenging mountain bike tours, leisurely rides between wine-growing villages and road cycling tours. The routes pass through Müllheim, along the Baden Wine Route and through the Markgräflerland. Those travelling with children can consider the option specifically designated as family tours; sport-oriented guests will find mountain bike and road cycling tours, while the leisurely rides focus on the wine-growing villages.

Getting around and arriving

St Martin’s Church on Wilhelmstraße is easy to reach on foot thanks to its central location. Müllheim also has car-sharing services and EV charging stations. With the KONUS guest card, visitors can use local public transport free of charge. These options are a helpful guide when deciding which way of getting around suits your stay; they complement walking and cycling tours with local options for getting around.

Müllheim can be reached by car, train, plane, on foot or by bicycle. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment as a base for your stay, you can consider the focus of your trip: wine tastings and winemaking culture, Jewish history, nature or tours of varying difficulty. The local offerings suggest different themes, without requiring you to combine them all in a single holiday day.
