A truly mystical place, especially in autumn and/or during the foggy season with ruins up to eight meters high.

This small customs house between Basel and Konstanz is the oldest still existing on the High Rhine. It was built in 1866 and renovated in 1975. It was in operation until 1907. Since it became too small, the new customs house was built next to it and this small post house was left standing.

Opposite Kaiserstuhl is the St. Antonius chapel on the slope. It was built in 1599, probably replacing an older chapel. The small chapel, which is considered one of the most beautiful in the Freiburg Archdiocese, was donated by the “Erzli” family from Kaiserstuhl.
