Among the cities of Baden-Württemberg, Blumberg stands out for the Wutach Valley and its celebrated Sauschwänzlebahn railway. The town lies in the southern Black Forest near Germany’s border with Switzerland, where the Wutach has cut a deeply incised valley through the region. Built in the late 19th century as a strategic route avoiding Swiss territory, the historic line is known for its looping Stockhalde Tunnel; heritage trains run between Blumberg-Zollhaus and Weizen. The nearby Wutach Gorge is a major walking destination, with trails following woodland, limestone slopes and the river.
