A Guided hike: the best way to start your hiking adventure

On your hiking day, our hiking guide will take you on a hike exploring the countryside. If you are a beginner hike we suggest a half day hike in the mountains above Freiburg. The hike itself is only 8 km long – but we have included lots of stops, therefore it can take a few hours before we get you back to your hotel – depending on your fitness level. This is a private hiking tour just for you. No one else will be joining the tour. This is one of our most popular hikes because you really get it all: Besides the classic, dark Black Forest gorge hike next to waterfalls, you get a lot of Black Forest history, a few touristy things, the oldest chapel in the Black Forest, the areas largest cuckoo clock. The guided hike takes you down into a valley famous for its ancient mills that once made everything from rope to spoons. You will see how people thrived hundreds of years ago. Your local guide has lots of stories to tell. You are in for a real treat! (good to know: depending on your fitness level and interests our guide may change the itinerary and choose a different hike for you)

Length

If you are looking for a longer hiking experience, have a look at our Multiple Day Hiking Tours. These are self-guided hikes of various length, different hotels and luggage transfer. Keep in mind that these are all private tours, we do not offer any group tours.

What’s the area like?

The terrain of the Southern Black Forest (where our Guided Hikes s are located at) is postcard perfect. This area has the sunniest and warmest weather in Germany. The terrain is composed of mountain meadows while thick forests and steep ravines dominate the higher elevations.

Is it for me?

This is a good tour if you are a beginner or experienced hiker.

Private Guided Tour - Black Forest Experience

This tour went above and beyond our expectations! We did a private guided hike and Simone had all the details planned out for us, including the hotel, which was a huge help. We came from the US so having the tripped planned for us was a great benefit.

We got a goody bag of information for the planned hike, which had hats, water bottles, a flashlight, and brochures for other attractions in the area. The hike was wonderful and our guide Giselle was so wonderful. She is from the area so has a lot of local knowledge, and she made a picnic lunch for us. Homemade sourdough rolls and real black forest bacon! So incredible!!!

Giselle was patient and never pushed for a certain pace. We extended our halfway hike into a full day because we were having such a great time.

We stayed in a small town in the mountains and it was a picture perfect. Close to many trails and Lake Titisee, which Simone added trip ideas for both. We ended up going to the alpine coaster about 45 minutes away, which was really fun!

We loved working with Black Forest Tours, and 10/10 recommend for seeing the forest.

We loved our tour guide, Gisela, who guided us through our one-day hike of the Hells Valley Trail. We only devoted one day to our Black Forest exploration, and Simone was extremely responsive to our requests every step of the way. Simone will happily work with you as you figure out what you want when you visit the Black Forest region!

You're in Good Hands with Simone

Simone was quite helpful in organizing a trip for four days through the Black Forest and Alsace helping line up drivers and hotels and giving us good suggestions. There is quite a lot to choose from and definitely enough for another week or two sometime in the future. The hiking trails were awesome and the Black Forest is a beautiful place to be on a misty Tuesday morning.
