Lörrach

The Lörrach district is an administrative region in Baden-Württemberg located between the Rhine River and the Black Forest, with borders to France and Switzerland. It comprises 35 municipalities ranging from smaller settlements in forested uplands to communities along the river valley.

The district took its current form in 1973 following an administrative reform that merged portions of neighboring counties. This reorganization shaped the region's structure and governance for decades to come.

The district includes 35 municipalities with diverse traditions, from mountain villages in the Black Forest to Rhine River settlements.

The district is well connected by several routes that link different landscape types throughout the region. Visitors can explore both higher forested areas and flatter terrain along the river valley.

The district stretches from the Hochschwarzwald mountains to the Rhine valley, with elevation changes from 272 to 1,164 meters.
