Springtime along the «24 Stops»
Sunday, 15.5.2022
In conjunction with International Museum Day and Architekturwoche Basel, the ‘24 Stops’ Rehberger-Weg art trail is celebrating the start of the season and inviting the whole family for an excursion with various programme highlights.
Four workshops along the path give young and old the chance to discover new perspectives and explore their creativity. An architecture tour starts at the Fondation Beyeler and leads along the Rehberger-Weg through the vineyards to the Vitra Campus. The architectural masterpieces by Renzo Piano, Frank O. Gehry and Herzog & de Meuron are also presented in addition to the objects by artist Tobias Rehberger. Before or after the five-kilometre walk, the Sunday afternoon outing can be rounded off with a picnic on the Vitra Campus or in the park of the Fondation Beyeler.
A free shuttle service will be operated between the Vitra Campus and Fondation Beyeler.

The Rehberger-Weg
Guided by ‘24 Stops’ – 24 waymarkers created by the artist Tobias Rehberger – visitors can explore a uniquely diverse natural and cultural landscape. The Rehberger trail with its waymarkers provides an opportunity to learn about and retell the history and stories of the surrounding area and its people, and invites visitors on an excursion into the countryside. The idea was developed and implemented by a consortium comprising the Fondation Beyeler, the municipality of Riehen, Vitra and the town of Weil am Rhein.
The idea of a cross-border trail was initiated within the framework of IBA Basel. IBA Basel is a regional development process that awards the IBA Label to outstanding, large-scale projects aimed at strengthening tri-national cooperation and boosting the region’s image.
Stretching over five kilometres, the Rehberger-Weg links two countries, two communities, two cultural institutions – and countless stories. It runs between Riehen and Weil am Rhein, between the Fondation Beyeler and the Vitra Campus. On the Swiss side, it leads from the picturesque Berower Park, home of the Fondation Beyeler, past the natural swimming pool in Riehen, designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron, and continues on the German side through the Tüllinger Hill vineyards to the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. It takes around one and a half hours to walk the Rehberger-Weg with its ‘24 Stops’. The starting points of the trail are conveniently linked to public transport and can be reached in less than 20 minutes from Basel city centre or from Lörrach (D) or St. Louis (F).
