One of the oldest and prettiest Fachwerk buildings in Schiltach is the hotel and restaurant "Gasthof zum Adler" with the classic Oriel (bay) windows.

(George) ...We enjoyed our stay at the Adler so much that we overnighted there again during a later trip. Schiltach is one of the most beautiful little villages in the Black Forest. We highly recommend the Gasthof zum Adler and it's excellent restaurant...

In the heart of the Black Forest (20 km SW of Freudenstadt), Schiltach is situated at a point where the Kinzig and Schiltach valleys join. The Marktplatz has beautiful half-timbered buildings on all sides (unchanged since 1791). A road was developed through the Kinzigtal as far back as Roman times, tying the Strasbourg area in the west to that of Rottweil on the eastern fringes of the Schwarzwald. With it's many Fachwerk (half-timbered) houses it is one of the most picturesque villages along the Deutsche Fachwerkstraße. There are no less than four museums around town highlighting such crafts that supported this region in earlier times, rafting, forestry and tanning.
