Haslach im Kinzigtal, a welcoming half-timbered town in the heart of the central Black Forest, breathes the history of a former Roman road station and a prosperous medieval market town. The town center is an impressive visual ensemble, with its narrow streets lined by remarkably well-preserved timber-framed houses that still reflect the wealth of past trading eras. A particular standout is the Old Capuchin Monastery, regarded as the only completely preserved Capuchin monastery in southern Germany. Today, it houses fascinating museums, including the Black Forest Traditional Costume Museum, which has a deep dive into the region's fascinating folkloric traditions. In the town center, the lively market square with its cozy cafes invites visitors to sit back and soak up the local atmosphere. The surroundings of Haslach offer excellent conditions for nature lovers: numerous well-marked hiking trails, such as the famous Hansjakob Trail, lead through dense pine forests and over gentle hills, frequently opening up to lovely viewpoints over the broad Kinzig Valley. For those interested in local mining history, the historic Segen Gottes silver mine provides highly impressive underground guided tours during the summer months. In the welcoming local inns, you can savor hearty Black Forest specialties, ranging from smoked regional ham to handmade Schupfnudeln.
