Why we like this package

This package is a great combination for first-time visitors to the Black Forest who don’t know where and how to get started planning. Its great if you like a combination of guided and self-guided tours. And ideal if you are interested in both touristy sights and lesser known sights.

Where will I be touring?

The package takes you to 2 different areas in the Black Forest – the Central Black Forest around Offenburg, including the clock area. And the more touristy Southern Black Forest around Lake Titisee. This package does not take you to the remote Northern Black Forest area (Baden-Baden and Lake Mummelsee).

Have more time? Why not add-on another region in Germany or nearby France?

After your stay in the Black Forest we highly recommend to add-on a nearby region for more touring. We can set you up with an add-on package taking you to Colmar in Alsace (France). Or, if you want to see more of Southern Germany add-on some days at Lake Constance, the Rhine Falls or Munich & Neuschwanstein in Bavaria

Is it for me?

This is a good package if you like to see both -some must-see touristy sights (e.g. Triberg waterfalls). But also some lesser known points of interest.
If you have not travelled on your own in a foreign country before this could be a good package for you. Because we provide you with an itinerary for each day. And we are only a phone call away should you run into any problem.
We provide you with our private chauffeurs for extra comfort (one taking you from hotel 1 to hotel 2 on a half day tour). But we also empower you to explore on your own, with guidance.

Hotel Rooms

Double Rooms. If you are booking a double room there is one double bed with 2 individual mattresses (not 2 twin beds). If you require separate beds we recommend booking 2 separate rooms. In rare cases twin beds are available, please inquire.
Single Rooms. If you are traveling by yourself we charge a single room supplement. You will either be provided with a single room. Or with a double room for single use – based on availability.
Bathrooms. All rooms have private en-suite bathrooms.
Air-Conditioning. Summers can be very warm. Most hotels in Germany do not have air-conditioning. Sometimes hotels can provide a fan for your room. Usually the hotel owners will tell you to sleep with the window open during the night – this is very common in Germany.
Elevators. Please note that our hotels most often do not have elevators – you will have to walk a flight of stairs to get to your room.

Mobile Phone Coverage. Please note that the Black Forest is a mountainous area. Often there is no mobile phone coverage when touring the Black Forest.
Wi-Fi in hotels. All of our hotels have wi-fi but sometimes it can be spotty in your room – depending on the location of your room.
If you require constant online access we do NOT recommend touring the Black Forest. Consider staying in a large town like Baden-Baden or Freiburg instead.
