The Merkur, landmark of Baden-Baden, was called "Grosser Staufen"
until the 17th century. The discovery of a roman votive stone for
the god "Merkur" lead to its present name.
All around the Merkur you can find - next to a park with deck-chairs
and a reservation for deer and wild boars -
countless paths for a more or less long hike with beautiful views.
Among others there is a 2-hour hike
down to Baden-Baden all the way to our house..

View on Baden-Baden from the moving Merkur-Mountain-Railway
.
Up the peak (2227 ft.), drives the Merkur-Mountain-Railway,
a panorama railway that offers spectacular views on its way
up the Merkur with a 54% angle of ascent.
Once on the top of the Merkur, you can go even higher.
Take the elevator to reach the observation deck of the Merkur-Tower
and enjoy a view of Baden-Baden, the northern Black Forest
and even the French Vogese Mountains.

You will never forget this view
