Bürgermeister = Siegfried KusterStegen is a municipality in the
Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district,Baden-Württemberg ,Germany . It borders on the city ofFreiburg , being about 8km away as the crow flies, lying in the valley of the riverDreisam . The municipality includes three population centres: the town of Stegen (which itself includes the villages of Weiler, Oberbirken, Unterbirken and Rechtenbach) and the villages of Eschbach and Wittental.Economically, Stegen is partly an offshoot of Freiburg; for example, the Forest Zoology Institute of the University of Freiburg maintains a field station at Wittental. It also plays a role in
Black Forest tourism , with guest houses and other facilities catering to visitors. It is the first town that a hiker on theSchwarzwald-Querweg Freiburg-Bodensee long-distance footpath passes through when travelling eastwards on the path from Freiburg.
