Hiking holidays Enchanting Black Forest

Hiking: Enchanting Black Forest

Between Schluchsee and Feldberg

Schwarzwald is widely known as one of Germanys most beautiful hiking regions. You will be enchanted by superb panorams, deep-blue mountain lakes and deep valleys. On the first part of this hike you walk from Titisee up to the Feldberg – Schwarzwalds highest peak.

Then you visit the ski resort Todtnauberg and carry on to the gentle valley Bernau. Small trails lead your way to the lake Schluchsee, the last highlight of this tour. You ramble along its shores and finally arrive at the last stop on a hill with a wonderful view over Schwarzwalds gentle valleys.

Itinerary

From your hotel you descend through a quiet forest towards the famous lake Titisee. You will walk a trail next to the shore and then continue through a nature reserve towards Bärental. Taste some local liquor in the “Schnapsmuseum” and of course the famous Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. Afterwards you will have to conquer a step ascent to reach the small pond Mathisleweiher – a dreamy landscape midst of the forest awaits here. From here nice walking trails lead the way to the peaceful village of Hinterzarten.

You can choose whether you want to walk to the Bismarck monument or on easy paths to your accommodation. You will spend the night either closs to the top of the pass or close to the peak in a mountain inn.

The trail leads next to numerous waterfalls with the “Todtnauer Wasserfall” as a highlight. Masses of water plunge almost 100 metres over the rocks. From Todtnau you take the chairlift up to “Hasenhorn”. A quick sidestep brings you to the vantage point on the top of the hill before you continue past mountain pastures and grazing cows back down into the valley. Mountain streams bubble next to you and lead you towards the high valley of Bernau.
