Bad Säckingen, Spa town in Waldshut district, Germany

Bad Säckingen extends along the northern bank of the Rhine River, positioned between the Black Forest mountains and the Swiss border at 291 meters elevation.

The town originated in 878 AD around a monastery established by Saint Fridolin, developing into a religious center with the construction of Fridolinsmünster cathedral.

The Trumpeter of Säckingen narrative shapes local identity through statues, references, and celebrations throughout the town's historic center.

The wooden bridge spans 200 meters across the Rhine River, connecting pedestrians and cyclists between Germany and Switzerland without vehicle traffic.

The Fridolinsmünster cathedral houses multiple architectural styles, combining Romanesque foundations with Gothic elements and Baroque modifications through centuries of construction.
