September 24, 2026, Hist. Fachwerkhaus "Adler"

The Gasthaus & Pension Adler in Steinach (Kinzigtal) is a traditional, family-run inn for many generations in the heart of the village. History and development Commercial and hospitality tradition since 1800: The property in the center of Steinach looks back on a history of more than 200 years. According to historical records, the property was taken over by the Halter family as early as 1800 and continued to be run as a farm and inn over generations. As was common for many rural inns in the Black Forest and Kinzigtal, the "Adler" served for a long time not only as a food and drink establishment, but also at times as a post station and as a central meeting point for village festivals and local clubs.

September 24, 2026, Haslach Town Center

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.
