4+ days to enjoy hiking, sightseeing and bicycling
Great package if you prefer a bit of activity during your vacation. You will be hiking for 2 days. Then we transfer you by car to your next hotel. During the transfer there are several stops to provide you with a good overview of the Black Forest. Upon arrival at your hotel we will provide you with a rental bike to experience the Black Forest by bicycle on the following day. There are several bicyle trails to choose from – one taking you to Freiburg, the capital of the Black Forest.

Partially unknown to tourists
On your first 2 days you will be hiking the St Peter’s Way offing a good combination of scenic views, forest and fauna, streams and waterfalls, remote mountain towns and family-run hotels. Although you may encounter a tourists or two at well known points of interest (we will point them out so you know what to expect), the trails of St Peter’s Way are mostly unknown – except to local hikers.
Optional add-on: hike with a guide
If you prefer to hike with a guide at the beginning of St Peter’s Way you can add-on one of our hiking guides on the first day. This gives you a change to meet a local and get the insights on the area.

From the mountain top into the valley
To get to the trail head you will take the train from Freiburg into the the mountains. Here, a little below 1000 metres, you find your first hotel. Explore town prior to your first hiking day. (Good to know: If you are interested in some touristy sights, for example Lake Titisee you could visit them on your arrival day).
Day by day, the trails of St Peter’s Way slowly wind themselves through the mountains, along streams and passing by waterfalls. Each night you have the opportunity to enjoy local foods at restaurants we recommend.
Looking for a challenge?
If you are looking for a challenge we are giving you a chance on day 2.
Either choose the shorter trail of 9 km which is easy and offers gorgeous panoramic views.
Or choose a more challenging trail of 14.5 km which takes you into some difficult terrain (pictured below) to get to a waterfall. On this trail good shoes are neccessary and hiking poles are recommended. Be careful – on a rainy day this trail should be avoided altogether. If you want to add-on even more distance you can do a 4 km detour and eat lunch at a farmhouse. Those who know, come from far away to eat their homemade sausages.


Transfer by car
On day 3 you have several options on how to continue.
Option 1. transfer to next hotel and ride in the afternoon. Either hop on a bus to get to your next hotel where a bicycle is waiting for you. Or have our driver take you there. You can ride the bicycle upon arrival already. And then you have the following day to explore the region by bicycle. We provide all info on route options.
Option 2: tour of the Black Forest by car. Most visitors decide to see a bit more of the Black Forest on this transfer day. Our driver will pick you up after breakfast to take you on a half day driving tour of the Black Forest ending at your next hotel On your way to the hotel our driver will take you to several must-see stops. How about going for a walk on a hanging bridge above a waterfall or taking a mountain coaster ride? We work with 2 hotels – one located outside of Freiburg in a small town. And one located in the wine area. Both are excellent locations for a bike tour which you will do the following day.

Bicycling the Black Forest
On your last day we provide you with several bicycle routes to choose from. Our e-bikes will provide you the necessary support – if needed. Pedal to Freiburg to enjoy the sunniest city in Germany and go for a walking tour with our local guide. Explore the wine region and sample some of the local wines. Or head up into the Black Forest mountains to eat at a local cabin. We suggest to add-on another day or 2 to really experience the region by bicycle – one of the most popular ways to get around in the Black Forest.
