Discover Brigachtal

When planning a stay in Brigachtal, you can focus on two specific themes: the Brigachtal Route is a 23.89-kilometer circular tour, and the history trail leads through local history with information boards. If you are looking for a hotel, you can weigh these active and cultural-history interests as part of your travel planning. The following details show how the cycling route, local history, collections and events program differ.

Cycling the Brigachtal Route

The Brigachtal Route starts at the Ringzug stop in Brigachtal-Klengen and follows the Brigach towards Beckhofen before continuing towards the Breg. The 23.89 kilometers refer to the entire circular route; the places and river mentioned describe its course. This gives you both a specific total distance and a named starting point to use in your planning.

Through the Plattenmoos nature reserve, the route follows a well-maintained gravel path towards the forest. On the way to Beckhofen, it also uses a well-maintained path alongside the railway line and the history trail. The Brigachtal Route is considered suitable for cycling trips with children; however, suitability depends on current trail conditions. Before setting out, check the trail conditions, seasonal accessibility and signage on site.

History Trail and Local History Museum

The Brigachtal History Trail uses twelve information boards to guide visitors on a walk through local history. Its opening was announced for September 2025. The boards provide a thematic thread for the walk; check the signage on site if you plan to follow the trail.

The local history museum displays craft and agricultural tools as well as household items from around 1900. It also features archaeological finds from the Brigachtal area associated with Roman settlement and Merovingian grave goods. This places everyday objects from the more recent past alongside archaeological finds from earlier periods. If you are interested in history, you can take these different time periods into account when planning.

Cultural Program at St. Martin

St. Martin hosts the Kultureller Herbst (Cultural Autumn) program every year, which includes concerts. The individual events vary. Exhibitions of Christian art are also held there occasionally. The program’s annual framework therefore differs from the changing dates of individual events and the occasional exhibitions. If a particular concert or exhibition is important to your trip, check the dates in advance.

Getting There and Timetables

Published timetables and live information on departures and arrivals are available at Brigachtal Klengen station. This information can help you plan a train journey; check the connection for your travel date. If you plan to use the Ringzug stop in Brigachtal-Klengen as the starting point for your cycling trip, also check the current train times.

More to Explore in the Schwarzwald-Baar District

As regional context for your stay: Kirnbergsee lake is located near Bräunlingen-Unterbränd in the Schwarzwald-Baar district. A 2.5-kilometer circular trail goes around the oval lake and across the dam. Kirnbergsee is part of a Flora-Fauna-Habitat area; rare plants grow near the shore. The shorter circular trail is a separate regional walk and can be considered a different type of activity from the 23.89-kilometer cycling tour on the Brigachtal Route.

The Move fare also covers the wider region: it is valid on all local public transport buses and trains in the Schwarzwald-Baar district and the districts of Tuttlingen and Rottweil. Fare conditions may change; check them before travelling. This information provides a regional framework for your planning, while timetables and live departure information are the key details for your travel date.
