Description

Altschweier is a German village to the East of the town of Bühl (Baden). It is located in the Büllot valley on both sides of the Büllot creek extending into the foothills of the Black Forest mountain range.GeographyThe Büllot valley is carved deep into the foothills and mountains of the Black Forest. Most of Bühl is located in the flat area of the Rhine Valley at an elevation of 300–400 feet above sea level bordering the foothill region to the East. Altschweier is surrounded by Eisental to the North, Kappelwindeck to the South and Bühlertal to the East. Bühlertal is a town alongside the Büllot further extending into the Northern Black Forest than Altschweier.InfrastructureAltschweier is about 2–3 miles away from to the center of Bühl. It can be reached locally from downtown Bühl via two ancient roads, on one hand the Bühlertalstrasse, which extends from Main Street (Haupstraße) in Southern Bühl alongside the Büllot, on the other hand the Bühler Seite, which extends from Main Street in Bühl alongside the Northern opposite bank of the Büllot, closely following the river bed. Most of the houses of Altschweier are located on one, sometimes on both sides of those two roads, the main arteries of the village. An additional 20th century county road connects Bühl with Altschweier extending even further into the Bühl Valley and the Black Forest. It is the fastest way to reach Altschweier coming from the Autobahn A5 without having to drive through Bühl. The L83 is crossing the B3 just North of Bühl, it then cuts through hills over a deep valley, eventually reaching the lower Altschweier valley. It is then heading further East, changing from a flat road to a steeply-inclined mountain road, eventually reaching the peaks of the Black Forest, the latter a major touristic region.
