The old town of Haslach in the Kinzigtal valley is one of the most beautiful historic town centers in the Central Black Forest. During a tour, the numerous lovingly restored half-timbered houses, narrow alleys, and small squares, which give the town its characteristic Black Forest flair, are particularly striking. The heart of the old town is the market square with the historic town hall. Also worth seeing are the Mühlenkapelle (mill chapel), the Haslacher Tor (Haslach Gate), and the numerous old burgher houses. Haslach was granted town rights as early as 1278 and developed into an important place in the Kinzigtal valley, primarily through mining and trade. Today, cafés, inns, and shops invite you to linger. A walk through the old town along the Kinzig river, where history, half-timbered architecture, and the landscape of the Kinzigtal valley combine, is particularly beautiful.
