The church is the former provost's house of the Benedictine monastery of St. Blasien. It was built in 1283 as a chapel, and in 1698 the church was expanded into a church.

Here, you can experience mining in the past. It's worth a detour and a break. The tunnel also serves as a cooling-off point in hot weather.

The Glacier Mill, also known as Krai-Woog-Gumpen, is a waterfall and glacial mill in the Southern Black Forest, more precisely in the Schwarzenbächletal valley near Görwihl. It was probably formed by glacial erosion during the Ice Age and was only discovered and excavated in 1955. The name, of Alemannic origin, means "loudly rushing waterfall."

At this pond, you can clearly see why the stream is named after it. There's a sign here with interesting information about the ecosystem.

The Klausenhof Open-Air Museum in the Hotzenwald Forest is a must-see for anyone who wants to experience history up close. The original, thatched-roof Hotzenhaus, dating from 1424, has been carefully rebuilt at its current location and conveys authentic life in the Southern Black Forest of past centuries. On-site, you can experience an exciting audio tour with ten stops via QR code. In addition to historical insights, the Klausenhof also offers events, markets, and even weddings with a unique atmosphere.
