Feldberg (Black Forest) offers several ways to experience nature and the landscape: a circular trail through the forest, an interactive exhibition about the nature reserve, and a railway to the region’s highest peak. Each offers a different focus and helps you tailor your stay to your interests.
Forest, Nature Reserve and Exhibition
The Wichtelpfad at Feldberg is a circular trail about 1.8 kilometres long through the forest of the Feldberg Nature Reserve. It combines experiencing nature with stories and facts about the increasingly rare capercaillie. The route therefore does more than lead through the forest: it also explores a specific aspect of Feldberg’s natural environment.
At the House of Nature, an interactive permanent exhibition presents the Feldberg Nature Reserve in a humorous way. It is aimed at all audiences and offers a different way to experience the area than walking through the forest. A back carrier for small children can also be borrowed at the House of Nature. If you need one, check availability before your visit.
Feldberg Railway and Landscape
The Feldberg railway takes visitors quickly and comfortably up Feldberg, the region’s highest peak. It is another way to include the summit in your travel plans. As services may vary by season, check the current operating times before travelling.
For geographical context, it is worth looking at the municipality as a whole: the municipality of Feldberg extends across the highest summit area of the southern Upper Black Forest and the eastern slopes of the Feldberg massif. The summit area was completely glaciated during the last Ice Age. This history of the landscape is part of the municipality’s broader geographical setting.
In the wider destination of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald
Mobility across the wider destination of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald may also be important for your planning: many places in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald can be reached by train. The free KONUS Guest Card allows free travel on local trains and buses throughout the Black Forest.
For a different kind of outing, visit Badeparadies Schwarzwald in Titisee. Summer temperatures prevail there 365 days a year, and real palm trees and turquoise-blue water are also part of the experience. The Galaxy waterslide universe offers more than 25 attractions and water fun for all ages. Feldberg’s nature trail, exhibition and summit railway thus offer a very different alternative to water-based experiences.
In Feldberg, Fundorena includes a three-level trampoline park. Fundorena X Mind Arena consists of six stations. Fundorena also has its own snack bar, “Chicco’s Lounge.” Alongside nature and exhibitions, the wider destination therefore also offers a trampoline park and an arena as distinct activity options.
When looking for hotels in Feldberg (Black Forest), it helps to decide first what you want to focus on: the forest and capercaillie, the exhibition at the House of Nature, or the Feldberg railway. If you want to explore the wider destination of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, other options include Badeparadies and Fundorena.
