Start of your vacation: Lake Titisee area

When arriving in the Black Forest area you will head straight to your hotel to drop off your luggage. Depending on the time of your arrival we recommend exploring Lake Titisee – go for a boat ride or do some shopping. If you prefer to take it slow we show you where to go for a quiet walk in the forest. Or take it easy at the hotel where we treat you to a piece of Black Forest cake and coffee.

The next day a bus will take you to some of the top sights: Visit the highest mountain in the Black Forest and climb up the sightseeing tower for a 360 degree view. How about a mountain coaster ride or a walk to the waterfall? Today is all about the must-see sights. You get to choose which ones to see and which ones to skip. Your luggage is being transported to the next hotel so you don’t have to carry around anything during your day.
