There are fabulous opportunities for wellness breaks as well as for nature lovers, who should make sure they catch the crocuses in bloom near Zavelstein in March and April. The route runs through forests of fir and pine and across high plateaus. Yellow broom shrubs and blue lupins grow on the sunny slopes. Giant ferns thrive in the shade of the forest along with blueberries and you can often find the protected foxglove and the rare willowherb - plants characteristic of the region. Its numerous cross-country trails, downhill runs and tobogganing slopes make the northern Black Forest attractive for winter sports, and sports enthusiasts also love the Nagoldtalsperre, a 40 hectare reservoir that is a firm favourite for sailing and windsurfing. The whole region is ideal for walking and offers plenty of challenges for experienced cyclists. Everywhere you look you are surrounded by nature, culture and history.
The northern Black Forest offers gentle hills, strong colours and healthy, relaxing air. A chance to breathe deeply and to find your inner self. And if the woodland air and the thermal waters should stimulate your appetite, you're sure to find delicious food in the right surroundings - whatever your taste. The hospitable Black Forest inns with their famous specialities invite you to stay a while and enjoy their Black Forest ham, bacon or roast shoulder of pork - washed down with some Black Forest plum or cherry schnapps, beer or Baden wine. Make sure to try some real Black Forest gateau. Let us spoil you, and then return to your everyday life relaxed and refreshed.
