Calw in the Northern Black Forest
Strolling down the hidden alleys, the pedestrian area or crossing the market place you cannot help to notice Calw's special historic atmosphere.
Numerous shops, restaurants, bistros and ice-cream parlours bring life into our dreamy little town and, especially during the past few years, Calw has blossomed into a worthy 'large' district town.
