Lautenbach: Ringhotel Sonnenhof Lautenbach
Tucked into the Rench valley in the northern Black Forest, Lautenbach is a place whose character is shaped by steep, wooded slopes and vineyards. This Baden-Württemberg community lies in the Ortenau, a region long associated with viticulture and fruit growing. The late-Gothic pilgrimage church of Maria Krönung, completed in 1483, is Lautenbach’s principal historic landmark. Homes and farm buildings occupy the valley floor and lower hillsides, while the Black Forest rises close behind the settlement. Lautenbach forms part of the settled Rench valley between Oberkirch and the higher Black Forest.

Baden-Württemberg is best known within Germany for the Black Forest, the wooded upland region that shapes much of the state’s southwest. Its terrain also reaches from the Upper Rhine plain and its wine-growing areas to the limestone ridges of the Swabian Jura, while Lake Constance marks part of the southern frontier. Stuttgart, the state capital, is closely tied to the automobile industry and hosts the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum. Heidelberg’s old town and castle add another important strand to the region’s identity, alongside renowned universities, spas and regional cooking.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
