Bad Dürrheim – Cultural Highlights
Fill your free time with a wide variety of cultural institutions, two museums and the Kurhaus. The event programme is colourful and diverse, thanks to the local clubs which are actively involved. The museum of local history shows the area’s past when salt production played an important role, and the traditional carnival can be experienced all year round in the “Narrenschopf” (carnival barn). Many events, such as the Bad Dürrheimer SommerSINNfonie on the Bad Dürrheim town hall square and the popular event series "Culture in the Club" offer a very special kind of music and entertainment. Every September, the popular BALLON Festival takes place on the festival square. The Baden-Württemberg traditional costume market and the international trade show for carnivals attract visitors from a wide area to Bad Dürrheim.

Directions
The Black Forest gourmet trail tour “Himmelberg Runde” begins at the bus stop on “Bühlstrasse”
in Öfingen. Following along the Haugenrainstraße, the path leads through the holiday village of Öfingen, built in 1984, and then onward on natural paths on a section of the Black Forest East Path, through a charming hedgerow landscape with wonderful views of the Baar and the Black Forest
Highlands. Beautiful nature trails on the south-west slope of Talheim and the Talheim forests lead in a wide arc towards Himmelberg over the Öfinger plateau, with a beautiful panoramic view of the Swabian Alps. Before the ascent to the Himmelberg, a view of the Ippinger Valley opens up at the edge of the forest. Arriving at the height of the Himmelberg, the Himmelberg Hütte offers shelter for a short rest. From the vantage point atop the "Himmelberg"(941 m), the path runs along the western slope back to the starting point in Öfingen. This circular route is signposted with the signage "Schwarzwald Genießerpfade" and can be walked in both directions.
