How the days go
- 1
Drive into the highlands
The Black Forest rises steeply from the Rhine plain — the road to Feldberg climbs through dense fir forest and the air cools noticeably before you reach the summit plateau.
- 2
Pine bath on arrival
The Black Forest pine bath is the best first treatment: the aromatic warmth, the fir extract, and the immediate sense of the landscape being applied to the body.
- 3
Sauna ritual
Finnish sauna, herbal sauna, steam bath — the multi-sauna ritual in a forest setting with outdoor terrace for cooling is the Schwarzwald wellness formula at its purest.
- 4
Feldberg summit walk
The summit plateau at 1,493 m is accessible on foot from the hotel — open meadows, Alpine views, and the physical satisfaction that makes the evening spa earn its reward.
- 5
Titisee and Schluchsee
The Black Forest lakes — Titisee (15 km) and Schluchsee (20 km) — offer swimming, paddling, and the particular lakeside quietness of the high Schwarzwald.
- 6
Freiburg day trip
Germany's sunniest city, 45 minutes below the forest — Münster Cathedral, the Bächle water channels, and the weekly market before climbing back to the spa in the evening.
