Villingen Old Town (Historic Centre)

Highlight • Historical Site

Villingen is a really nice city in the middle of the Black Forest. Nestled in the beautiful nature of the headwaters of the Neckar and Danube, the historic city center of Villingen is a great destination for your bike ride. There is so much to see: A well-preserved city wall, the masterful Münsterbrunnen or the cathedral with its enchanting carillon - the list of worth seeing buildings in Villingen is long.

The few meters to the viewing platform are definitely worth it. Great view of the merger of Brigach and Breg to form the Danube.

A little warm-up before you set off on the Danube Cycle Path: a bit of Black Forest flair should still be in there. That's why we decided to cycle from the Brigachquelle near St Georgen via Villingen to Donaueschingen.
