Halden is an elevated residential area in Gamprin, set against the gentle slopes of the Eschnerberg. The name 'Halden' refers to its hillside location, which provides residents with extensive panoramic views across the Rhine Valley to the Swiss Alps. In contrast to the low-lying areas by the Rhine, Halden was historically less threatened by flooding, making it an attractive settlement site from early on. The architecture of the area is characterized by terraced houses and villas that skillfully utilize the topography. The slope also favors a mild microclimate, which was often used in the past for viticulture or fruit growing. Today, Halden is primarily known as an exclusive residential area that combines tranquility and proximity to nature with good accessibility to the village center. Hiking trails lead directly from the settlement into the wooded areas of the Eschnerberg, significantly enhancing the quality of life for nature-loving residents.
