Ancient castles perched atop hills and magnificent palaces with parks transport you to a bygone, almost forgotten era. Play knight and princess for a day and explore these historic buildings on your own. Gaze from the castle towers far beyond the fir treetops of the Northern Black Forest and enjoy your time out in unspoiled nature.
Take a look behind the familiar facades in the various museums . Here you'll find stories you may not have heard before. Nature, literature, mining, jewelry – you're sure to find the perfect museum for you!
