Experiencing landscape and nature together

The nature experience area with a barefoot path, treading-water basin, sensory garden, and adventure playground provides concrete starting points for this. Opening times and accessibility should be checked current before visiting.
Fruit growing, vineyards, and Grube Caroline

Another way to approach the town’s history is Grube Caroline, a medieval silver mine in Sexau.

Choosing Sexau as a holiday base
In the verified regional information, Sexau is described as a quiet, nature-oriented place to stay and can serve as a base for hikes, bike rides, and regionally planned excursions. Its location in the regional transition between the Breisgau and the Black Forest opens up day plans with different characters. The regional information also describes links to important transport corridors, without deriving specific travel times or a particular mode of arrival from this.
When choosing your base, it therefore depends on the excursion mix you have planned: if peace, a close connection to nature, and independent planning are more important than being as central as possible to all destinations, Sexau is an interesting location. If several regional destinations are on the agenda, you should check your preferred mobility and daily routes before booking.
