Gutach im Breisgau walks

Pram-friendly family walk around Winden

A stroll through 500 years of architectural history – a village in transition thanks to civic engagement The municipality of Gutach comprises the three districts of Gutach, Bleibach and Siegelau. Alongside a wide range of club activities in all three districts, civic engagement has become particularly evident in recent years, notably at the outdoor swimming pool in Gutach and the community centres in the Pferdestall and the Sonnenkeller. Due to the town’s historical development, there are fascinating topics that shed light on housing and historic buildings. Not least thanks to numerous awards from the State of Baden-Württemberg and the Chamber of Architects, these distinctive features are coming to the attention of the public.
