September 6, 2026, View of the Black Forest Valley

You can't see much from the valley anymore. Luckily, the trees and bushes are still growing, albeit slower than before. It's better to go to "View into the Yachtal from Rohrhardsberg 48.131848, 8.123076".

The European watershed at the Martinskapelle near Furtwangen in the Black Forest separates the catchment area of the North Sea (via the Rhine) from that of the Black Sea (via the Danube) at an altitude of around 1,085 meters. Course of the watershed Rhine catchment area (northwest side): Here the Elz originates, which flows via the Rhine ultimately into the North Sea. Danube catchment area (southeast side): Only about 100 meters from the watershed lies the source of the Breg. The Breg is considered the longest headstream of the Danube, whose water flows into the Black Sea. The separation: A ridge only a few meters wide decides here whether a water droplet begins its journey west to the Rhine or east to the Danube.

Furtwangen's local mountain, the Brend, with a height of 1149 m above sea level, is the highest elevation in the city and, at the same time, the second-highest mountain in the Schwarzwald-Baar district. From its observation tower, built in 1905 and extended to 15 meters in 1983, one can enjoy, with good visibility, not only the view of the Rhine plain, the Black Forest and Vosges peaks, but also the Swabian Jura and the Swiss Alps.

Even without snow (cross-country skiing starts here most days), it's a lovely place to linger.
