Schwarzwald: Tannenwälder, Wasserfälle und Genuss auf der Höhe
The Black Forest is Germany's largest low mountain range and probably its most famous: the cuckoo clock, the Bollenhut hat and the cherry gateau all come from here – but so do the Michelin-starred kitchens of Baiersbronn, the spa culture of Baden-Baden and the long views from the Feldberg, the country's highest summit outside the Alps. Between the Rhine plain and the High Black Forest, vineyards alternate with dark fir ridges and deeply cut valleys.
Hospitality has deep roots: in Baiersbronn the Hotel Lamm welcomes guests at the heart of the gourmet village, in Schönwald the Hotel Dorer represents the clockmaking country around Triberg, in Todtnau you sleep at the Hotel Bären close to the Feldberg, and in Bad Liebenzell the Pension Zedakah keeps the northern Black Forest feel alive. Baden-Baden adds the worldly side with houses like the Roomers.
The Triberg waterfalls, Lake Schluchsee, the Black Forest High Road and the Vogtsbauernhof open-air museum will fill any holiday week. On GastNest your enquiry goes commission-free straight to the host – who will also tell you on which ridge trail the morning fog lifts first.
