Leisure and Region

Cuckoo clocks, dark fir trees, Black Forest cake, and the Black Forest girl are the first things that come to mind all over the world when people think of the Black Forest, La Forêt-Noire, or simply the Schwarzwald. In the south of the famous mountain range lies St. Georgen on the European watershed between the Rhine and Danube rivers, which is why the town is also known as the “Scheitel Alemanniens” (Alemannic watershed). The unspoilt Black Forest landscape, the numerous cultural attractions and leisure activities in and around St. Georgen make it the ideal starting point for exploring the Black Forest region.
