August 2, 2026, European Watershed Danube–Rhine

the watershed between the Danube and the Rhine

The Martinskapelle is located on an old pass road between the Breg and Elz springs, at the height of the Danube-Rhine watershed. The origin of the chapel dates back to pre-Carolingian times. Excavation findings suggest that a sacred building already stood here around 800. Perhaps the road from Furtwangen to the pass summit was already an old La Tène road and there were connections between Celtic and early Christian culture here.

The European watershed at the Martinskapelle near Furtwangen in the Black Forest separates the catchment area of the North Sea (via the Rhine) from that of the Black Sea (via the Danube) at an altitude of around 1,085 meters. Course of the watershed Rhine catchment area (northwest side): Here the Elz originates, which flows via the Rhine ultimately into the North Sea. Danube catchment area (southeast side): Only about 100 meters from the watershed lies the source of the Breg. The Breg is considered the longest headstream of the Danube, whose water flows into the Black Sea. The separation: A ridge only a few meters wide decides here whether a water droplet begins its journey west to the Rhine or east to the Danube.
