Simply ask at Reception for tips as to how you can spend your day.
Black Forest tradition
Go on the trail of old handicrafts, traditional Black Forest houses, customs and long-forgotten treasures. In the Southern Black Forest and not far from us there are numerous events inviting you to rediscover old traditions. The house of the painter Christian Gotthard Hirsch is always worth a visit, or you can visit – depending on the season – the horse blessing in Todtmoos, the ‘mill day’, the ‘Eulogi-Ritt’ horseback procession in Lenzkirch or many other interesting events.
Also recommended are “Altes Handwerk im Schwarzwald [Old Handicrafts in the Black Forest]” on the Feldberg or the “Holzschneflertage [Wood craftsmen days]” with natural park market in Bernau.
Real winter joys
Enjoyable winter hiking through the magical Black Forest landscape, crystal clear air and breathtaking views as far as the Alps mean your stay in Höchenschwand becomes a real experience. Numerous user-friendly winter hiking routes, e.g. the Panoramaweg across the Sonnenhang (sunny slope), the Marienkapelle [Chapel of Our Lady] circular route and the Dreherhäusleweiher are suitable for any fitness level. Tobogganers, cross-country skiers and downhill skiers will also very much get their money’s worth.
