Information in brief

Description

The town of Altensteig lies on the Nagold River, with its Old Castle and Old Town rising high above the valley. The historic Old Town is impressive, with its well-preserved half-timbered houses and the Old Castle, which houses the local history museum.

With the Monhardt Water Room, a faithfully reconstructed historic barrage, the Upper Nagold Valley Raftsmen's Guild keeps the memory of this ancient trade alive. It also offers guided tours and demonstrations where visitors can learn about the work of the raftsmen.

The Berneck district impresses with its castle, with its 38-meter-high shield wall, and its prominent location.
