Description

Oberwolfach is located in the Central Black Forest in the Wolf valley between Wolfach and Bad Rippoldsau-Schapbach. In Oberwolfach, the Wolf valley branches into many small side valleys, in which agriculture and forestry is pursued, and where holidaymakers find absolute peace in cosy accommodation.
