The town of Vöhrenbach lies in the Breg valley in the central Black Forest between Furtwangen and Villingen-Schwenningen.

The town borders St. Georgen im Schwarzwald to the north; Villingen-Schwenningen, Unterkirnach and Donaueschingen to the east; Bräunlingen and Eisenbach in the south; Titisee-Neustadt to the southwest; and Furtwangen to the west.

With the exception of Eisenbach and Titisee-Neustadt (Landkreis Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald), all neighboring communities belong to the district Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis.

[3][4] In the course of the municipal reforms in Baden-Württemberg, Vöhrenbach grew to include Hammereisenbach-Bregenbach on 1 July 1971 and then Langenbach as well as Urach on 1 December 1971.

[5] The districts now belonging to the town Vöhrenbach are territorially identical to the formally independent municipalities of the same name.

Vöhrenbach received a town charter in 1244 from the Counts of Urach as competition to Villingen.

The blazon of the coat of arms reads: "In blue, a golden oblique wave beam, within it a red trout swimming upwards."

The Black Forest Bike Marathon, held annually since 1997 leads through Vöhrenbach.
