Hiking holiday

The Upper Black Forest is not only one of Germany's most beautiful hiking areas, but also one of its best known. The stunningly varied scenery with its gently rolling hills and valleys offers the ideal terrain. Every season in the Black Forest has something very special to offer.

Bursting with energy, the harbingers of spring push their colourful blossoming heads through the last remaining snow and bid the winter a final goodbye. Mild winds caress the hills. Summer's colourful meadows lure us outdoors to explore and discover the beauty of nature over and over again. Autumn creeps in almost imperceptibly, transforming the forests into a sea of colour, while the warm sun invites us to laze and linger awhile on a bench. While down in the lowlands everything is enveloped in a thick layer of white mist, up here we can breathe in the clear air.

There are many superb hiking routes of varying levels of difficulty which start in Hinterzarten. High on the list are guided hikes with Mr Reppert himself. His knowledge of wild orchids, marshlands, streams, ponds and much more besides is second to none. Our air-conditioned hotel minibuses take you to the most popular starting points.

And these are only a few of the reasons why we have been awarded the coveted "Wanderbares Deutschland" seal of quality.
