The "Pearl of the Murg Valley", as Gernsbach is also known, looks back on an eventful past. Impressive monuments in the historic old town bear witness to the wealth of days gone by. Picturesque half-timbered houses, fountains and the old town fortifications invite you to stroll through the winding alleyways. From the Old Town Hall, probably the best-known and most beautiful building in the Murg Valley, you head over to the market square, which invites you to linger with its bistros and cafés.
Let yourself be enchanted and discover our town. We look forward to seeing you!
