General description | The county includes several surrounding towns including Hattingen, Emmingen, and Moehringen. The town is built around the Honberg mountain where a ruined fort built in the middle ages still stands and is a site for festivals and concerts. The town suffered a fire in 1803 that destroyed most of the town and only a small section of the original town remains.The source of the Danube is located nearby in Donaueschingen and is stream-sized here in comparison to its more famous, grander appearance in Vienna. |
