Through the Urachtal, the city has a share in the landscape protection area of the Upper Black Forest. The bird sanctuary in the middle of the Black Forest is also part of it. The community is located in the Southern Black Forest nature reserve.
In the home of watches
Vöhrenbach is on the German watch route, which runs from the central Black Forest via the southern Black Forest to the Baar. That is worth seeing watchmaker house, a local history museum, which is managed by the local history guild "Frohsinn eV". The typical Black Forest small craftsman's house shows itself in all its splendor from 1725. It is thanks to the association that the house, which was formerly owned by the municipality, was not demolished in the 60s, but can finally bear witness to the watchmaking and domestic trades of the time Time.
There is a historical music and clockmaker's workshop in the house as well as many exhibits of local historical importance. A church tower clock from 1883 is one of the gems in the collection, as is the rotary piano by the Vöhrenbach orchestrion builders Imhof and Muckle. From time to time events take place in the house; otherwise there are guided tours on request.
