Discover Eisenbach (Hochschwarzwald)

Eisenbach (Hochschwarzwald) can be explored through several specific themes: the local heritage room in the Wolfwinkelhalle, the world clock at Gasthaus Bad and the “Auf dem Höchst” circular hiking trail. The Mühlenhäuschen preserves another detail from the history of technology. When looking for a hotel, you can weigh cultural history, technology and a hike as different aspects of your destination.

Local history and technological artefacts

The local heritage room in the Wolfwinkelhalle displays antique clocks, minerals and taxidermied birds. Historical objects are presented alongside minerals and animal specimens; the collection brings together technological and natural-history themes. Advance registration is required for a visit.

The world clock is located at Gasthaus Bad in Eisenbach and was made around 1864 by Johann Baptist Beha. It still shows the time in London, Paris, Saint Petersburg, New York and Constantinople. Its approximate date of origin places it in historical context, while the display of the five cities shows that it remains functional. If you would like to see the clock, check in advance whether a visit is possible.

Parts of the original drive mechanism of the historic ski lift are preserved in the Mühlenhäuschen. Unlike the world clock, this concerns the drive mechanism of a lift; this object complements the clocks and collection themes with another aspect of historical technology.

The “Auf dem Höchst” circular hiking trail

The easy “Auf dem Höchst” circular hiking trail starts in Eisenbach, is 3.98 km long and takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Its approximate duration helps you fit the hike into your day; the distance indicates its length. The distance and duration may change if the route is revised. Check the route details before your hike.
