Calw: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Calw lies in the Nagold Valley between the hilly Gäu landscape shaped by meadows and hedges to the east and the extensive coniferous forests of the Northern Black Forest Nature Park to the west. Calw’s municipal forest begins near the market square and serves as a place for walking as well as an access point to an extensive hiking route. The Calw district belongs predominantly to the Northern Black Forest; individual places in the east and south belong to the Gäu or the Black Forest foothills. Anyone wishing to compare open landscapes and forests receives a clearly identified contrast between the two landscapes here.
