Horb am Neckar: Schurkenturm Medieval Tower, Neckar River Bend Below the Altstadt, and the Freudenstadt District Town on the Black Forest Edge
Horb am Neckar has about 25,400 residents and lies in the Freudenstadt district of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The old town sits on a steep ridge above a bend in the Neckar, with the Schurkenturm and Schillerhoehe viewpoint marking the highest points. The collegiate church of Heilig Kreuz dates to the 13th century. The Neckar is still a relatively small river at this point in its upper course, winding through a narrow valley between wooded slopes.
Freudenstadt is about 25 kilometres west in the Black Forest. Rottenburg am Neckar is roughly 15 kilometres downstream. Tuebingen lies about 30 kilometres northeast. Sulz am Neckar is upstream. The Black Forest's eastern edge begins just west of the town. Horb's position made it a medieval toll and market centre at the river crossing.
