Description
Sasbachwalden is a Black Forest town in Western Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is located on the western slopes of mountain Hornisgrinde in the Northern Black Forest and belongs to the district of Ortenau. More than 70% of the town area are forest.
Sasbachwalden was first mentioned in 1347 as a group of individual farms and houses. Only in 1817 Sasbachwalden became an independent community. Main sources of income are tourism, winegrowing, the production of Black Forest kirsch and most importantly wood processing.
Sasbachwalden was chosen as the most beautiful village in Germany a few years ago. It is characterised by its heritage-protected villagescape with half-timbered houses and the unique floral decoration.
Sasbachwalden is surrounded by vineyards, most famously the location 'Alde Gott', Old God in the local dialect. If you think of Germany as mostly a white wine country, you'd be surprised that you would find more red wine in this region, which is one of the warmest spots in Germany.
