Nagold: Black Forest River Town in the Calw District
Nagold takes its name from the river that flows through it, a tributary of the Enz in the Northern Black Forest. About 22,900 people live here in the Calw district of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The Burgruine Hohennagold on the Schlossberg above town dates to the 11th century and offers panoramic views across the Nagold valley. The town's economy is shaped by the headquarters of several medium-sized companies, including fashion retailer Joop, which was originally based here.
Calw is about 15 kilometres north. Horb am Neckar lies to the south. Freudenstadt is to the southwest. The Nagold valley here is narrow, with forested slopes on both sides rising to the Black Forest plateau. Nagold's old town, compact and set along the river, retains a few half-timbered structures around the Vorstadtplatz.
