Tuniberg

Tuniberg is a hill range in southwestern Germany, located in Baden-Württemberg in the Upper Rhine Plain between Breisach am Rhein and the Rhine river. It lies in the district of Emmendingen and forms part of the Kaiserstuhl volcanic field, representing an eastern outcrop of the magmatic activity that shaped the Rhine Rift Valley.

Geography and geology: The Tuniberg is a low mountain ridge of volcanic origin. It consists mainly of volcanic rocks overlain by younger sediments, with soils often enriched by loess that are favorable for viticulture. The southern and southeastern slopes face the Rhine and receive abundant sunshine, creating a warm microclimate suitable for grape growing.

Wine production and landscape: The Tuniberg region is one of Baden’s notable wine areas. Vineyards cover many slopes around the villages and farms, with small, family‑run wineries offering tastings and cellar tours. Common wine varieties in the area include Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir, reflecting Baden’s diverse wine culture. Agricultural and forest lands alternate with scenic viewpoints.

Access and visitor information: The Tuniberg can be explored by foot or bicycle along marked routes that traverse the vineyards and forests. Nearby towns such as Breisach, Endingen am Kaiserstuhl, and other villages provide accommodation and access points. The landscape offers panoramic views across the Rhine Valley to the Vosges in clear weather and is a popular destination for hikers and wine visitors.
