Haslach im Kinzigtal

Haslach is a very old town, with evidence of the first settlement dating back to Roman times. Haslach experienced its first heyday in the 13th century when the small town, seat of the mining judge, became the centre of an important silver mining district. From the 17th century, Haslach continued to develop as a market town. Its market streets and squares, which were wide for the time, have been completely preserved to this day and, together with the narrow residential and artisan streets, give the picturesque old town centre, which consists almost exclusively of baroque half-timbered houses, a unique flair. Haslach is a member of the "Deutsche Fachwerkstraße", the ivory league of German towns. With almost 60 specialist shops, bistros, cafés and restaurants in the area of the medieval town, which is just 300 metres in diameter around the town walls, Haslach is a lively destination in a class of its own.
