Discover Wurmlingen

Wurmlingen can be explored through specific hiking destinations and a local tradition. The Kapf and Tannhalde hike runs along Kapf and Tannhalde in the east of the municipality. To the west, the Weilenberg hike leads to Weilenberg. These routes differ in location and named destinations: in the east, the focus is on Kapf and Tannhalde; in the west, on Weilenberg. Other hikes lead to the southern hills or all the way to the Kapf plateau. This lets you explore Wurmlingen through a variety of destinations.

Hiking trails by destination and difficulty

The Konzenberg hike leads to the southern hills of Wurmlingen, to the “Mühlstein” and the ruins of Konzenberg. Its total distance is 12 km. If distance is important to your choice, this gives you a specific value for planning. The route also includes two named destinations: Mühlstein and the ruins of Konzenberg. This makes it easy to assess the hike by its distance and specific destinations.

The Kapf Heights hiking trail leads to the Kapf plateau. It is a challenging hike to the viewpoints at Kapf plateau and Staigkreuz, as well as to Nonnenhöhle. The trail description explicitly notes its level of difficulty. Unlike the Konzenberg hike, which has a total distance of 12 km, the emphasis here is on the challenging nature of the route and its named destinations. If you choose based on the trail profile, you have two different options: a route with a stated distance and southern destinations, or a challenging hike around the Kapf plateau.

Bonfire and Fasnet

The bonfire in Wurmlingen is of great significance on the Sunday after Fasnet. This tradition adds a cultural point of interest to the hiking destinations, offering a different way to experience the town than trails to Kapf, Tannhalde, Weilenberg or Konzenberg. If you are interested in local traditions, you can include this aspect in your travel plans alongside the landscape and hiking destinations.
