Schramberg

Schramberg is a town in the Black Forest that spreads across several valleys and incorporates five separate settlements into one municipality. The area blends industrial zones with forested hillsides and mixes historic buildings with newer residential neighborhoods.

The town was first documented in the 13th century under Austrian rule. Later it became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg and grew into a center of textile and clock production during the industrial era.

The town has a strong connection to watchmaking and clock production, which you can still see in its workshops and shops today. Walking through the old town center, you notice how this craft shaped the local identity and continues to draw visitors interested in mechanical heritage.

The town sits in the heart of the Black Forest and connects well to hiking paths that wind through forests and valleys. Wear comfortable shoes since the terrain is hilly, especially if you plan to explore the different neighborhoods on foot.

The Bach na Fahrt is a traditional wooden raft race held during Carnival that draws spectators from across the region. This local tradition reveals the strong community spirit of the residents and their connection to the river.
