This is the center of the small village of Colonia Tovar, founded in the 19th century by approximately 360 German emigrants from the Kaiserstuhl region. Since the 1960s, when the road was built, it has become a tourist destination. Most of the houses, built in the "half-timbered" style, are not truly half-timbered, but merely painted as such. True old half-timbering can be found only in a very few houses, if at all, and even then only in fragments, as no one here has mastered the old craftsmanship anymore. Nevertheless, the small village has a great charm and a pleasant atmosphere. Many restaurants offer German food, albeit at high prices. However, German, or Alemannic, is no longer spoken here either.
