Description

The municipality of Seewald, along with its constituent villages, is situated on a sunny high plateau and surrounded by the dense forests of the Northern Black Forest—with 90% of its territory covered by woodland. It offers an ideal setting for hikers, cyclists, and those seeking peace and quiet. A popular destination is the Nagold Reservoir near the village of Erzgrube, which invites visitors to swim, fish, sail, windsurf, or go boating. In winter, Seewald and the surrounding area make for an attractive cross-country skiing destination, thanks to the location and an extensive network of trails.
