Pforzheim

Pforzheim, often known as the "Gold City," is beautifully situated at the transition from the Rhine Plain to the Black Forest. The city is an attractive starting point for a convertible tour through Baden-Württemberg, along the German Half-Timbered House Road, or on the Bertha Benz Memorial Route. In addition to its long tradition as a center of the jewelry and watch industry, Pforzheim offers a remarkable combination of modern elements and historical references – ideal for anyone looking to connect culture, nature, and stylish travel in an open car.

Between Jewelry Tradition and Green Backdrop

Pforzheim looks back on over 250 years of jewelry and watch manufacturing. This heritage still gives the city a special flair, which is reflected in the Jewelry Museum, the Technical Museum, and in numerous galleries and workshops today. The Reuchlinplatz with its modern ensemble of theater, Congress Center, and city library forms the cultural heart of the city. At the same time, green oases such as the Enzauen Park or the City Garden invite visitors for relaxed walks – perfect for catching one's breath after a drive in the convertible.

Convertible Tour at the Edge of the Black Forest

Pforzheim is ideally located for tours along the Black Forest – whether on the legendary Black Forest High Road, through the Enz Valley, or on small side roads with numerous curves and stunning views. From the city, one can quickly reach elevated places like Bad Wildbad, Calmbach, or Dobel. The varied landscape with dense forests, sunny highlands, and wide valleys makes every drive an experience – especially in an open car on a nice day.

Half-Timbered Houses, History, and Enjoyment

Those who leave Pforzheim and head south or east will quickly find themselves on the German Half-Timbered House Road. Places like Calw, Maulbronn with its famous monastery, or the idyllic Bad Liebenzell are very close by. The harmoniously restored old towns, historic half-timbered houses, and cozy cafés invite for stops along the way – perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable tour. In the region, one can also find down-to-earth cuisine and numerous wineries that invite visitors to linger.

Versatile Starting Point for Stylish Travel

Whether as a city with its own history, as a starting point for Black Forest routes, or as a stop on a larger convertible tour – Pforzheim combines urban flair with nature and craftsmanship. For many, this is where a journey full of impressions, views, and experiences between mountains, valleys, and historic places begins.
