Furtwangen im Schwarzwald: Brend - Feldberg - Kandel

Built around the Breg valley, Furtwangen im Schwarzwald grew into a centre of Black Forest clockmaking and higher education. Set in the southern Black Forest, the town lies close to the headwaters of the Breg, one of the two rivers that form the Danube at Donaueschingen. The German Clock Museum, part of Furtwangen University, traces regional craftsmanship through Black Forest clocks, precision timepieces and other historic objects. Clockmaking shaped local workshops from the 18th century and remains central to Furtwangen’s identity. Forest roads and trails lead out into the surrounding upland terrain.

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.
