Autumn in the Markgräflerland

Ebringen and its vineyards...
This village is one of many lovely wine villages in my region, situated along the 'Baden wine- route'.
It is located about 5 km (3 mi) south of Freiburg and belongs to the Freiburg metropolitan area.
Surrounded by meadows, forests and in the middle of vineyards it is a very nice place.
The entire area of the municipality is located in the Schönberg range, foothills of the Black Forest, which is geologically a part of the Rhine Rift Valley. The Schönberg is characterized by a very diverse surface geology from all periods of the Mesozoic, Paleogene volcanism and glacial löss deposits.Ebringen is known for the oldest recorded viticulture between Freiburg and Basel.
Viticulture has most likely been present since the Roman era in the first century AD, as ruins of a Roman grange were found in the Ebringen area.the earliest written record for viticulture dates from the early 8th century.
The Markgräflerland (Baden) is well known for its Chasselas grapes.(Gutedel in German)

Many thanks for your kind visits and comments, dear friends.
Although Winter is knocking at the door meanwhile, I want to share some more images from autumn.
