Discover our favorite activities in the Black Forest

On your marks, get set, go! That's the motto on the Hasenhorn Coaster in Todtnau, another activity in the Black Forest. It can be used as a summer toboggan run in summer, but also in winter with toboggans. With a length of 2.5 km, it is not just an experience for children. A double chairlift takes you comfortably to the top. Our tip: Combine your visit to the Hasenhorn Coaster with a detour to another activity in the Black Forest, the Todtnau waterfalls. Here the water rushes down from a height of 97 meters with a spectacular natural spectacle. We recommend good footwear, as the short hiking trail leads you up to the top via steps and bridges right next to the waterfall. If you still have time and desire, combine the tour with another activity and continue up to Schauinsland to Steinwasenpark in Oberried. The Steinwasenpark with its diverse animal world provides an insight into the Black Forest wildlife and other attractions. The park is home to the world's largest adventure rope bridge. On the longest pedestrian rope bridge in the world, you can walk across the Black Forest landscape at a height of 30 meters over a distance of around 220 meters. The white water ride and the 800-metre-long summer toboggan run are also great fun for the whole family.

One of the most popular year-round attractions in the Black Forest is the Badeparadies Schwarzwald in Titisee. A true wellness oasis for young and old. Families and couples are guaranteed to have fun here. With 25 water attractions, including slides and a wave pool, the Galaxy is a paradise for children. In the palm oasis, guests aged 16 and over can float under more than 180 palm trees in 33 degree water. In summer, the large glass roof is opened to create the feeling of being on vacation by the sea. In addition to more than 50 hydromassage jets, there are also 5 well-tempered mineral pools to relax your muscles. Our tip: Enjoy a cocktail in the evening at the water bar and by the romantic torchlight fire. Adjacent to the palm oasis you will find the Palais Vital sauna area. Covering an area of over 6,000m², you will find 12 themed saunas and a further 6 vitality pools. In summer, you can enjoy the sun on the 3 outdoor terraces. A visit to the bathing paradise is worthwhile for the whole day or just for a few hours in the evening, when many guests have already left the baths and there are only a few guests left. The opening hours for the Badeparadies Schwarzwald are daily from 09:00 to 22:00.

Lake Titisee reaches a temperature of up to 24° C in summer and is ideal for swimming thanks to its good water quality. You can either take a boat trip around the lake or explore it on your own in a pedal boat, rowing boat or electric boat. The bathing boats with slide also offer a special fun factor. If a simple boat trip on Lake Titisee is too boring for you, you should try stand-up paddling. This new sport is increasingly conquering the Black Forest and is suitable for anyone who can swim. Stand up paddling trains your balance and your core arm and leg muscles. It is fun, relaxing and a unique nature experience. There are rental stations in Titisee, Schluchsee and at Windgfällweiher.

Even if the weather is bad. In the Black Forest, there are many activities that are fun even when it rains. The archery center in Eisenbach, the Tatzmania animal park with jungle land and the indoor climbing hall Fundorena at Feldberg. Whether it's an indoor climbing garden, trampoline park, fun park or boulder arena, everyone can show off their skills and have fun on rainy days.

Many activities in the Black Forest are of course also possible in winter. There is usually snow in the Black Forest from January to mid-April. This is when the Black Forest landscape transforms into a winter wonderland and offers numerous opportunities for activities. On the highest mountain in the Black Forest, Feldberg , it is possible to ski almost all winter long. With 38 lifts and 63 kilometers of slopes, the Feldberg ski area offers runs of all levels of difficulty. The pistes are mostly short and therefore ideal for families. Nevertheless, there is also a challenging FIS World Cup course. In good winter conditions, over 700 km of cross-country ski trails are groomed in the southern Black Forest. Cross-country skiing equipment can be hired in many places in the Black Forest. How about another winter activity such as tobogganing? Sledges can be hired at the rental stations and in many hotels. And if you don't want to walk up the mountain, simply take the free toboggan bus from Titisee up to Saig to the natural toboggan run. The toboggan run from Saig to Titisee is even floodlit at night.
