Steinwasen Park near Freiburg
A delight for the senses is provided by the world’s longest rope bridge, on which one can “buoyantly” cross the valley floor over a length of 218 metres at a height of 30 metres.
In the Steinwasen Park you can observe over 20 wild animal species in natural, spacious enclosures on raised stands and from vantage points.
Apart from a summer toboggan run and white water rafting, there is also a petting zoo that is very popular among children.

You can view mechanical looms, spinning machines, winding machines, and dyeing machines. A picture documentation shows the stages of development from cottage industry through the first factories to industrial production.
A department dedicated to the textile cottage industry shows a sewing school as was typical of the region. Apart from a variety of sewing machines, textile needleworks, e.g. knitting, artistic knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing, and lace-making are displayed in partly very elaborate originals.
Germanefescht in Mambach
One of the main attractions in Mambach is undoubtedly the Germanefescht. In the year 1986, it was decided that the Germanenfest be organised publicly for the first time.
The “Eichenbrändle” was selected as the fairgrounds. At the time, a procession of 30 to 40 persons was accompanied by a pony cart upwards to the fairgrounds. This spectacle takes place every 2 years and Mambach becomes a proper pilgrimage site.
The next feast will hold on 6 August 2010.
