Tips from the Community
A popular starting point for hikes (parking available) and a recreation area with a barbecue. It's quite unusual to see such a large watchtower. Several smaller Roman watchtowers can be found along the Rhine. One of them is located on the Rhine bank between Koblenz and Bad Zurzach.

The Fridolinsmünster is the landmark of the town of Bad Säckingen and is dedicated to Saint Fridolin of Säckingen, who, as a missionary of presumably Irish origin in the 6th century, founded various monasteries in the Alemannic region. The Fridolinsmünster was the collegiate church of the Säckingen convent and is today the main church of the Roman Catholic parish of Bad Säckingen-Murg. The monastery church was built in the Romanesque style, rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 14th century after a fire, and renovated in the 17th and 18th centuries with elements of Baroque. The remains of Saint Fridolin are kept in the publicly accessible Fridolinskapelle on the right side of the choir in a richly decorated silver shrine. The procession on the Sunday after March 6th, commemorating the saint's day of remembrance and death, enjoys supra-regional fame. The church was included in the list of "Mythical Places on the Upper Rhine" due to its legendary history (Wikipedia).

The "Fools' Fountain" depicts the figures of the Bad Säckingen carnival: the "Römer," the "Siechenmännle," the "Maisenhardt Jeggele," and the "Hüüler." The fountain was made of Jurassic limestone in 1972 by Rheinfelden sculptor Leonard Eder.

The Münsterplatz is lined with numerous, very busy restaurants. Sometimes it is even difficult to find a free seat. So you can sit here with the best view of the impressive Fridolin's Minster.
