Details of the 8 day hiking tour

Soak up the sweeping views of the Black Forest in tranquil Saig before you even start hiking. Via the Bärental you will reach Hinterzarten. The Feldsee will captivate you with its mystical flair. Bathing is prohibited here, as rare underwater ferns grow in the water, which can be up to 32 metres deep. It is also the highest lake in Germany outside the Alps. Next is the climb up the Feldberg, the highest point in the region.

On the way to the high valley of Bernau, take a look at the characteristic single-roofed farmhouses that enrich the picturesque region. You will pass the Schluchsee before your hiking week ends at the picturesque Titisee. Are you still thinking or are you already packing?
