Not far from the Stuttgart metropolitan region, the interesting twin town of Villingen-Schwenningen is located on the central edge of the Black Forest. During your Black Forest holiday in the town, you will notice the teasing rivalry between Villingen and Schwenningen. The two parts of the town were once separate until the merger was sealed in March 1971 with the positive approval of the citizens of both towns. The aim was to create a politically and economically strong upper centre in the Black Forest region. Today, the two districts, which are separated by about 8 kilometres, are still working on growing together - this also includes "taking the piss" at carnival time.
The town centre of Villingen-Schwenningen combines modern culture and historic architecture. In the romantic alleys of the old town you will discover impressive historic towers. The 13th-century town wall is still well preserved and today forms part of the leafy ring of the town of Villingen-Schwenningen. Enjoy the flair of the old town and experience the culinary delights of the region at the same time? That also works par excellence in the town of Villingen-Schwenningen - lose yourself in the varied gastronomy of the Black Forest region during a visit to the numerous restaurants in Villingen-Schwenningen. Wine, ham and, of course, the famous Black Forest gateau make connoisseurs' hearts beat faster. H2: The Schwenningen Clock Museum - where time stands still
You have surely heard of the German Clock Route in the town of Villingen-Schwenningen? The Uhrenmuseum Schwenningen - awarded the Luigi Micheletti Prize for the technical-historical "European Museum of the Year" - represents the highlight of the German watch city. The watch industry museum was opened in 1994 as the first watch factory in Baden-Württemberg. The rooms and the history of the building take you back to a world in which the agricultural town of Villingen-Schwenningen still clashed with the industrial town of Villingen-Schwenningen. In the Schwenningen Clock Museum, you can experience the whirring of industrial machinery up close and with all your senses.
The German Clock Road is a famous holiday route that runs from the central Black Forest through the southern Black Forest and into the Baar region. The German Clock Road leads to the centres of clock making in the Black Forest region. In doing so, it is part of the European Route of Industrial Heritage ERIH, which links the most important sites of Europe's industrial heritage into a network that can be experienced. Furtwangen is considered an important anchor point. However, the German Clock Route is not worth seeing for its distinction and prestige alone: don't miss out on the German Clock Route - you will be impressed by the facets of the Black Forest region and the beautiful landscapes of the Baar.
Are you looking for a place of peace and relaxation? In the Schwenninger Moos you will find untouched nature that will give you strength.
