Hiking The Black Forest Germany
All our hiking tours are listed below. If you first want to read about Hiking The Black Forest Germany, you might want to know that hiking for pleasure originated in The Black Forest.
For an orientation, its good to know that The Black Forest is not what the name suggests. It is no longer a single forest, but rather it is the mountainous region in the south-western corner of Germany, on the east side of the Rhine River Valley where Germany, Switzerland & France share borders. The Black Forest can be grouped into North, Central and South because the terrain and weather are noticeably different. Choose your favorite below…

  • our hiking tours start at 1 day and can be up to 8 days
  • short day hikes as well as challenging long-distance multi-day routes
  • hikes for different fitness levels
  • self-guided as well as guided options
  • you don’t need to organize anything
  • we handle hotel reservations and your luggage transport
  • all you need to worry about is a good pair of hiking boots
