The Black Forest is steeped in legends and myths. Here, you can immerse yourself in the region’s interesting past and visit enchanting, weathered witnesses of time. In old castle ruins, you can soak up a special atmosphere whilst magnificent views of the picturesque valleys await. It’s worth stopping at the spectacular castles and catching an exhibition too.
Experience a sword fighting demonstration at Husen Castle, a cosy picnic in the castle ruins of Zavelstein or peak into Falkenstein Castle’s tower room. Some castles are ruined whilst others stand proudly and welcome visitors still today. Enjoy a delicious glass of wine at Eberstein Castle winery or treat yourself to dinner at its excellent restaurant. While you're at it, look out over grape vines, the valley and the surrounding mountains – truly enchanting.
All of the foodie trails in the Black Forest are designated as premium trails by the German Hiking Institute. The varied routes lead away from roads and towns through unique nature, with its wild forests, meadows, gorges and valleys. You can expect wonderful half and full day Tours, which show you some of the most beautiful places in the region. They also include foodie highlights: spoil yourself with Baden wines and delicious regional Black Forest cuisine.
The Black Forest is easy to reach from all directions and you can catch the train to many of the trails. All other routes are located near bus stops or hiking car parks.
More and more people want to explore and experience the impressive nature in the Black Forest – whether on foot, by bike or on a mountain bike. But we, as humans, are only guests in the Black Forest – the animals and plants are our hosts. That's why nature lovers are expected to have #respectfornature, only then can we preserve the Black Forest in its beauty for years to come.
You can find out more about the #respectfornature initiative on our profile page https://www.komoot.de/user/schwarzwaldTourismus or at http://www.respekt–schwarzwald.info/.
