Kniebis

Kniebis sits on a high ridge in Germany’s Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg, where the European watershed divides water flowing toward the Rhine from water bound for the Danube. This scattered upland settlement lies near the Black Forest National Park and on the route of the Westweg, the long-distance trail running from Pforzheim to Basel. The remains of Kniebis Abbey recall the area’s medieval monastic past, while the nearby Alexanderschanze reflects the strategic importance once attached to this mountain pass. Winter brings cross-country skiers to the plateau; in warmer seasons, walkers head into its forest and moorland paths.
