The Black Forest National Park
The Black Forest is a vast area covering hundreds of km. But only a small portion of it has been preserved as a National Park. The Black Forest National Park is located between Baden-Baden and the town of Freudenstadt. In this area you really get to see the real unmolested Black Forest, consisting of lush green forests and small trails covering around 10,000 hectares.
We have chosen trails that will take you through the Black Forest National Park, where you might hike for hours without running into another person, while others skirt civilization so you can see Lake Mummelsee and have lunches at an authentic mountain cabin.
A typical German experience: Stop at a local Hütte for lunch
Germans like to hike. And part of the experience is lunch at a local Hütte (a mountain cabin serving food and drinks). Stop in, have a drink, enjoy some local food. Then hike on. Don’t expect fine dining. A Hütte usually serves hearty traditional German foods that are especially satisfying when hiking all day
And just in case, we provide you with a daily lunch box so you have a back-up plan if hunger sets in and there is no convenient Hütte to stop at.
Hike & Ride
You will be far off the beaten path on our Baden-Baden Hike. Therefore it is necessary that you sometimes take a bus to the trail-head or from the trail to your hotel. But not worries! The bus rides are very scenic and short. We provide you with all details on which bus to take and where to get off. You will not be getting lost. We transfer your luggage while you hike.
This is the only hiking tour we are offering in the remote Black Forest National Park. All our other hiking tours are situated in the more populated Central an Southern part of the Black Forest. Good to Know: If you prefer a less remote experience with a little more city-life, have a look at our hikes in the Freiburg area, where we have some nice Shorter Trails for example.
Town of Baiersbronn: Start your hike in the Gourmet Capital of the World
Your hiking adventure starts in the town of Baiersbronn. Foodies are familiar with the name Baiersbronn. Baiersbronn’s restaurants boast a total of 8 Michelin Stars and they are a must visit on Germany’s fine dining circuit. If food is important to you we recommend to add-on a night in Baiersbronn prior to your hike to experience some of the town’s restaurants.
