Black Forest 7-day guided hiking tour

Arrival at Stuttgart airport. Welcoming and transfer by road to the reserved accommodation and presentation of the program.

Freiburg im Breisgau, “The Free City”, is the capital of the Black Forest and one of the most important university cities in Germany. It offers us endless possibilities. Its jovial atmosphere, in balance with the nature that surrounds it -where the bicycle is the vehicle most used by the friburgueses- make this city a place where everyone feels comfortable. Its Catholic cathedral dominates the market square, where the merchants of the region come daily to sell their merchandise, from medieval times. In the afternoon, we will enjoy an activity that combines a tram ride crossing the city, with the visit to one of the most known neighborhoods, due to the high ecological standards with which it was conceived.

Today we will visit the Farms Museum, an open-air tourist activity and one of the biggest ethnographic attractions of the whole Black Forest massif. We will walk through a piece of land of several hectares, visiting the different types of constructions, that over the last five centuries have been built in the Black Forest. Then we will go to Hornberg, where we will make our first trekking route through the Black Florest, a low-medium level route that runs through the mountains that surround the city. We will also reach the cliffs of Windeck, from where we will enjoy beautiful views of the Castle and the Offenbach valley.

Today we will go to the Southern Black Forest Nature Park, for a mid-level hiking activity, walking along one of the best preserved deciduous forests in the Black Forest massif, due to its difficult access, surrounding the gorge formed by the Wutach river, affluent of the Rhine river. We will end the day with a gastronomic activity, in a mountain farm, where we will enjoy a typical dinner from the Black Forest region, made with the natural products of the surrounding farms, enjoying the tranquility of a unique environment.

Hiking activity of low / medium level that runs through one of the most interesting natural areas of the Black Forest, not only for its beauty, but also for the rugged terrain, the darkness of the waters of the Feldsee Lake, the fauna and flora diversity of the area and many other interesting things that we will find on the path. Then we will visit Titisee Lake, the largest natural glacier lake in the Black Forest.

Today we will hike on  an interesting route through the wonderful centuries-old forests near Baden Baden, on the edge of the National Park, with excellent views over the city from the cliffs of the Battert-Rock (Battert Felsen). This is a natural space with a greater protection degree due to its unaltered ecosystems, being a nesting place for scarce species such as the Peregrine falcon. And finally we will visit the spa town of Baden-Baden, with time to enjoy some of its thermal water spas. Since the 1st Century a.C. the Romans made this region known especially for its waters properties.

Today we will say goodbye, hoping you have had a nice trip and enjoyed our programme.
