Calw

Overnight stay in the historic Nagold Valley

A large meadow in the Nagold Valley near Calw, below an old castle ruin, on the grounds of a former farmstead. You stand in the grass with a wide view of the greenery, the forest right nearby. With a bit of luck, the two donkeys pass by in the morning. In the evening, the owls call out. It's not completely secluded: a road remains audible, though it gets quieter at night. Not a classic campsite, rather a place to arrive and settle in. The half-timbered town of Calw on the river is within reach, and the gold city of Pforzheim is a good twenty kilometers further on.1

Sights in the area1

Calw

The half-timbered town on the Nagold, birthplace of Hermann Hesse. The market square with its crooked timber houses and the old Nikolaus bridge are worth a stroll when the weather at the pitch won't cooperate.

Pforzheim, the Goldstadt

About 22 kilometres away lies the Goldstadt, long a centre of Germany's jewellery and watchmaking trade. The Jewellery Museum in the Reuchlinhaus puts the craft's history in context.

Northern Black Forest

The northern Black Forest reaches right into the Nagold valley. The river sets the course for a downstream cycle path, behind it dark fir woods and hiking trails for a full day out.
