Welcome to the homepage
of the "Trompeter von Säckingen".

Bad Saeckingen at the river Rhine is well known in the world as the "Town of the Trumpeter". The location is the Rhine Valley between the border to Switzerland and the Black Forest. The little town offers a lot of attractions to its visitors: a long and interesting history since the romans, the St.Fridolin-Cathedral and some important sights like the longest covered wooden bridge in Europe.
  

The present time in Bad Säckingen includes a thermal spa, hospitals and schools as well as opportunities for shopping and spare time in the nature around.

The poet Joseph Victor von Scheffel found the inspiration for his novel "Der Trompeter von Säckingen" in our town.

On this website you can find a lot of informations and photos about the past and presence of Bad Saeckingen and a wonderful collection of old picture postcards.
  

Beside that we put the current views, and we try to show how Scheffel and the Trumpter still affect the sights of Bad Saeckingen today.
