Places to see in ( Baden Baden - Germany ) Merkur Mountain
The Merkur or Großer Staufenberg is a mountain, 668.3 m above sea level, in the Northern Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is the Hausberg of Baden-Baden and located between the spa town and the town of Gernsbach.
The mountain is named after the Ancient Roman god of trade and commerce, Mercury, to whom a Roman votive stone on the summit is dedicated. The Merkurstein has been recorded since the 16th century. Today, there is a cast of the original votive stone on the summit plateau; its prototype is in the Baden-Baden Municipal Museum collection. The original name of the free-standing conical mountain was the Großer Staufenberg, a reference to the shape of a turned drinking mug known as a Stauf.
The summit of the Merkur is only accessible on foot, by bicycle or on the Merkur Funicular Railway (the Merkurbergbahn) from Baden-Baden. The funicular was built in 1913, but closed in 1967 for technical reasons. It re-opened in 1979. It is 1,200 metres long, one of the longest railways of its type in Germany, and climbs gradients of up to 54%. There are good views of Baden-Baden during the ascent.
At the top station is a restaurant. Other attractions at the summit include a sunbathing lawn, a barbecue area and a play park with giant slide. Aimed at spa guests, but usable by anyone, are the so-called terrain spa walks (Terrainkurwege) of different lengths and gradients. One of these paths leads to the wildlife park at the foot of the mountain where there are red deer, fallow deer and mounflon. About half-way up the Merkur on the Baden-Baden side is the premium footpath, the Panorama Way (Panoramaweg). The summit of the Merkur is a waystop on two other premium footpaths: the Gernsbacher Runde and Murgleiter.
An observation and radio tower stands on the highest point of the Merkur at 48°45′52″N 8°16′50″E. It was built in 1837 and was raised in height when the funicular was built. Since the 1950s it has also acted as a radio broadcast transmitter. A more recent reinforced concrete annex supports an antenna mast made of steel, reaching a total height of 63 metres.
The mountain has an all-round view, not just over the bowl of Baden-Baden, the highest peaks of the Northern Black Forest and the Murg valley with the towns of Gaggenau and Gernsbach, but also of the Upper Rhine Plain, the Vosges, the Haardt and the Odenwald. In the field of view are the ruins of Hohenbaden Castle, the Battert rocks, the ruins of Alt Eberstein, the Fremersberg, the Yburg, the Badener Höhe and the Hornisgrinde as well as the cities of Karlsruhe and Strasbourg.

Scholss Stauffenberg - a German castle in the Black Forest area, is a hidden gem. To reach this castle, I started from the base and took an 8 km route through the forest. All the Hiking trails are well traced.You can reach the top with a car as well. The Scholss Stauffenberg offers amazing views of the wine valley around, and the restaurant at the castle is a perfect place to enjoy local Baden dishes and a superior wine. Hope you will enjoy the video as much as I did walking through the black forest.

Travel journal: Alsace & Black Forest - Episode 1 - Storks, haunted attics and Tartes Flambées
In the first episode of this series, we leave Naples, Italy to fly off to France. We'll rent a car and we'll hit the roads of Alsace where we'll see a beautiful village from a hundred years ago, lots of storks and a huge attic that looks like it could be haunted. And we'll end the day with a typical Alsatian specialty.

Rund um BATTERT und EBERSTEINBURG - Baden-Baden
Ziel unserer Frühlingswanderung war Baden-Baden und dort der BATTERTFELSEN. Eine Felsformation mit herrlichen Aussichtspunkten. Im Sommer Ziel der Kletterfreaks. Wir wanderten vom Battert-Parkplatz in Ebersteinburg über den Oberen Felsenweg zum Alten Schloss - Hohen Baden und von dort in großem Bogen zurück nach Ebersteinburg zur Burg Alteberstein. Zurück am Parkplatz packten wir die Wanderutensilien ins Auto und stoppten auf der Rückfahrt auf ein Bier in Gernsbach auf der Aussichtsterrasse von Schloss Eberstein.
