Bonndorf at a look

In the last few days the weather was really warm. Fortunately here in Baden-Wuerttemberg and in Bavaria as well it is still the summer holidays.  Some guests from the northern regions of Germany did not have as much luck as we do and already went home.

A great way to remember your vacation or just to check out the current weather in Bonndorf to know whether it is worth going is to check out the webcam!

There is an online webcam that is pointed at Bonndorf Castle. That way, not only have an overview of the Bonndorf’s current weather but also a look at the centerpiece of our Lion City Bonndorf.

With the friendly consent of the webcam owner we have linked to the transfer of Bonndorf city in our Adler Black Forest Blog. The webcam is also accessible on the page fotonetz.bonndorf.com. Careful, watching can lead to a severe longing for the Black Forest! If you give in to this longing do not forget to make a trip to Adler in Bonndorf. Here you can taste the delicious Black Forest Sausage and Ham Specialties and bring a piece of the Black Forest to your home.

Lastly we have in addition a technical notation for you:  Bad weather or technical difficulties could cause the webcam to malfunction.
